This work has been completed and we are now running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and PHP 8.3 (we were previously on 22.04 LTS and PHP 8.1). Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will be supported until May 2029, and the PHP upgrade should help with some of the performance issues the site was having with Envira Gallery (it was specifically recommended by Envira Support).

As always, please reach out here or on Discord if you are experiencing any issues.

I will be upgrading the server operating system next weekend, likely on Saturday November 15th, or on Sunday the 16th if I am unable to do it on the 15th. The server will likely be down or show errors while I work on the upgrade, which I expect to take around 4 hours or so. I’ll keep folks notified of the status of the upgrade in Discord and will make another post here when the work is complete.
