Hey guys,
I was just thinking about how DirectAdmin manages all those packages like Apache, MySQL, PHP, Dovecot, etc., through CustomBuild.
It must be a huge task to maintain and update all these packages across different OS versions. So I was wondering—why not just use Docker instead? I mean, Docker images are available for almost every package out there. Wouldn’t it be easier for both DA and users if everything was containerized?
Take PHP 5.6, for example. It’s no longer supported on newer distros like AlmaLinux 10, and I’m sure it takes a lot of effort to make it work. But if we just ran it in a Docker container, it could save a ton of trouble.
Just curious to hear your thoughts on this!
