I've been doing a ton of testing.
This is what the entire upgrade process from FPM-NGINX to FrankenPHP looks like.
So far it just magically works 🪄🎩🐰

In the latest stable version of Node 22, there's a bug that causes Vite to crash.
To fix it, you need to roll back to Node 22.20.
Because we use Docker from development to production, it's a simple commit to resolve it for everyone's machine 🚀

You're kidding me!? 👀
TIL about "post_start" in Docker Compose 🐳
You can run commands as a privileged user on startup, but still run your services as an unprivileged user.
This dramatically simplifies bootstrapping an app! 🤩

We're shipping BenchKit as Docker-first, but you can also run it as a standalone PHP application on any host.
To allow greater flexibility on deployments, I created two Composer packages for our benchmark tools and got it to work! 🥳
Here it is running on Laravel Cloud 😁

This is why I love building and using Spin 💯
BenchKit runs with multiple PHP servers, defaulting to fpm-nginx you can switch to FrankenPHP with a simple variable.
⚡️ Works on any OS
💯 Consistent environments
🔒 Centrally managed
Docker from Dev → Prod is a game changer 🪄

💡 LARAVEL PRO TIP:
Laravel doesn't require a .env file to run; environment variables just need to be accessible.
This is why I love using Docker from dev → prod. I can centralize management and minimize differences in .env files.
Don't commit your secrets though 😅

Last night, I installed DHH's Omarchy 1.0 then saw the 2.0 installer was available this morning.
I reinstalled with 2.0 in under 10 minutes. It's now easier than installing Windows! 🥳
All on a laptop I bought directly from Acer for $275 🤣
Great work Omarchy community ❤️

I've never been so excited to see a phpinfo() page 🥳
Early Saturday morning programming led to learning how to compile FrankenPHP from source.
We'll soon have a FrankenPHP image that's:
🔐 Unprivileged by default
🚀 Built for Laravel first
🤓 Packed with DX improvements

I can't believe that @github.com has the New Release screen default to "latest release". This seems quite dangerous 🤠
I just accidentally published an open source release by pressing "ENTER" on my number pad instead of "."
THANK GOD it was actually stable code 😅

Just pushed a cool CI update to serversideup/php 🤓
We pull official PHP information from php.net, but that doesn't mean a Docker image is available.
If that's the case, we fall back to the latest available version and show a nice warning 👌

How do you organize your software project tasks?
Here's an example how I organized SelfHost Pro for @danpastori.bsky.social while we work asynchronously.
🎨 Figma embeds natively
✅ Checkboxes for testing all features
🎥 Video for complicated parts
🗣️ Notion comments for questions

I've been quite busy lately 😃
SelfHost Pro is coming along well. I'm excited to showcase how this launch will allow anyone to sell self-hosted applications, regardless of the programming language 🥳

For self-hosted app sales, customers get a single-line installer script post-purchase.
They choose any host, copy/paste our one-line script, then we'll handle installing Docker and starting up your app for them 🚀

😵1 MILLION DOCKER PULLS 😵
Thanks PHP community! I never guessed serversideup/php would grow to this volume and power platforms like Laravel Cloud.
When we started, I figured using GitHub for free runners was a good deal 😆
It's been a pleasure learning from you all ✌️

As you can see, this server is "nuthin' fancy".
Here's all we need:
- 1 core (AMD Ryzen 2700)
- 1 GB RAM 35 mbps upload connection 🙃
- Dynamic WAN IP address 🤠
This site is still FAST AF. We have it behind a free CDN with CloudFlare.

Nope, we're self hosting the site in my basement with:

Zero-downtime deployments with GitLab CI/CD too 🤓
