Updating PHP 7.3

v4
#1

My sites are currently running on php 7.3.1. How do I update it to 7.3.7?

Thank you…

EE is dead. You can’t update PHP with EE.

Their last blog post was 4 days ago for an update. I’d hardly describe that as dead

It would be nice if they updated the docker images though!

You could try rolling your own using the 7.2 image as a template:
https://hub.docker.com/r/easyengine/php/dockerfile

Then head into the site’s root here:
/opt/easyengine/sites/yourdomainname.com/
and add a docker-compose.override.yml with the new image.
(use override because ee will sometimes rebuild the config, and the override will be kept)

Then rebuild your containers with docker-compose up --no-start and restart them with ee site restart

Definitely take a backup before, its remarkably easy to stuff up container configs

Thanks for replying. I never played around with docker. Can you please elaborate the process whenever you have time?
Thanks again :blush:

EasyEngine peeps should definitely give us an official tutorial on how to tune up stuff like that. With no EE v4 “easy” site command for updating php to whatever latest version out there. As I’m not a docker expert, I’m hopeless looking forward to update my WordPress site php to 7.4…

There’s no reason for you to use the latest and greatest right away. And to update your PHP version, you’d have to create your own Dockerfile and build a PHP image from that.
