Hello!
While package managers model like compose, npm, pip, etc. allows to easily set up everything. However, old versions of packages becoming broken with a time, since all these dependencies gets changes (removed, alternated, force-upgraded, etc) and we can't control that.
And so, I attempted to set up the stuff (Just without a docker) using at least latest stable release, but it's now totally broken. I installed PHP 8.2 (that meets the minimum requirements and the last pre-built for CentOS 7 at Remi's repositories), and it just fails to install dependencies, and even more, if --no-script dodges the install problem, the thing is unrunnable at all.
And so, I have a small request for the future: to avoid further cases when dependencies gets forcedly alternated into incompatible things, let's include into releases extra archive that will contain all pre-downloaded dependencies, so it's just need to install PHP of requred version and all the required plugins and modules, the configured web-server, database server, and just run the final thing. Projects like phpBB do that already, they include compose-downloaded packages with their releases, and the setup of the final thing is pretty easy for end users.
I would like to use the Docker container, but in my case, the target machine is pretty weak (a cheap VPS server with 2 GB RAM and 1 CPU), and I should not waste its resources so much to not cause it fail.
