Moving from Apache to FrankenPhp : how to manage local virtualhosts and PHP versions ?

[dah-HUB]

Hi,

Actually, I code apps in Laravel,
I wanted to test frankenphp locally; And if its Okay, move the Prod.

How I'm settings up things now :

• I create virtualhots in /etc/apache2/available-sites/ as this pattern : project name.customer name.local , Ex : crm.lestilleuls.local
• I also add those names to /etc/hosts
• All the the code is located in /var/www/html/ as /var/www/html/PHP version/customer name/project name/

Question 1 : How to manage multiple hosts (apps) in frankenphp ?

I slso use a script to switch PHP versions : 7.4 -> 8.1 -> 8.2 , by Enable/Disable Apache Modules (or services for FPM) + update-alternatives

Question 2 : How to manage PHP versions in frankenphp ?

Thanks for your Help

FrankenPHP is just a custom build of Caddy, you can manage your virtual hosts as with a standard Caddy installation using site blocks: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts#addresses

Supporting multiple PHP installations in the same process is currently not supported. You'll have to start a different instance of FrankenPHP per PHP version.
