PHP 5.6 on DSM 7.0

[hermann_x5]

I hope this is the right forum - if not I do apologize. Furthermore the search did not help...

I am using my DS920 also as a Webserver for my own private data driven platforms for various topics (movies, music, games, weather etc.). I am developing as a hobby and didn't have the time to really educate me regarding "new fangled stuff" like PHP > 5.6 or mariadb > 5 (i know, I know !!).

Anyway, with DSM 7 it seems that Synology wants to "clean house" as I saw that mariadb is out (that should not be a huge problem) but I did not see anything about PHP 5.6

Does anybody know whether webstation will support this version with DSM 7 ?

Best to move into Docker with all this, to avoid any problems. Also, you can run any PHP version you want as well as Maria.

I am using docker for HomeAssistant and like it, but I am not really that experienced yet and am not sure about how this would impact the performance.....Anyay, that's something to look at...

Performance will not be an issue here I guarantee it.

FFS that holds me back from DSM 7 as my forum runs on Maria as a DB.....

Hi, sorry to have caused confusion. Only maria 5, of course. Maria 10 is supported
