Could ionCube installation support be added for PHP-FPM?

Is this of any use?

I don’t know what that scary looking Windows application does, but if it doesn’t use the OS package manager, it should be avoided. Sloppy installation of random crap on a production server is a recipe for disaster.

If you enable the Remi repos, you can install it using your package manager, as Ilia mentioned above.

Use your package manager for software installation whenever possible. (And, if it’s not possible, maybe try to make it possible. If a source package is available for another related distro to yours, grab that and rebuild it and install using your package manager.)

Yeah I’m not sure I like the idea of running a PHP-FPM systemd unit per domain, versus the current pool model we use now. If anything, it would make more sense to alllow ioncube to be enabled globally for all users of a PHP version (perhaps in Webmin’s PHP module)

But it’s not about ionCube. It’s about placing the PHP process in the same slice as the user so the new resource limits can be imposed.

I mean, people want to control the PHP-FPM process limits using the new user limits. I think, we should do something about it?

I can most probably implement it after I finish working on the new Virtualmin Podman plugin.

What we can do is keep the existing functionality for existing systems and use the new setup for new installs. We can make it controllable through a module config option (keep the old way or use the new one).

It doesn’t sound impossible to me. Complex, maybe, but doable.

Waiting for your approval on this.
