Somehow my Debian 11 was automagically upgraded to Debian 12 perhaps by
the hosting company. However, there is a website running on this Debian
that requieres php7.4. That website is incompatible with the php version
Debian 12 is offering and down at the moment.
From the packages it looks like Debian 12 is offering php8.2. Can you
recommend a best practice how to run php7.4 on a Debian 12 in an
production environment?
I don't know if that somehow qualifies as "best practice" but Ondřej
Surý packages different PHP versions for Debian and Ubuntu one can
install side-by-side:
https://sury.org/
What I also do sometimes is to create a container/VM with desired
software stack and let the "frontend" HTTP server act as a reverse proxy
for the container/VM.
That said: Upgrading the website to use a upstream-supported version of
PHP would probably be really "best practice".
