[mythtv-users] mythtv php8

[James Linder]

Hi all
opinions please:

Lots of help from Jim re endeverOS, but sadly no cigar. I’m sure its me not he (I was trying to build fixes/32).

One frontend is a 2011 imac27 that can run upto High Sierra and I’m limited to fixes/32.
I (re)built my backend server using openSuSE tumbleweed. It works great, uses php8, and in trying to set that up I discovered there is no mod_rewrite (which is a showstopper).

So I see 2 options

1) use a VM to provide mythweb, while keeping fixes/32 on my backend machine.

2) migrate to master. Is the web backend a suitable replacement for mythweb?

I can use a VM on the imac27 as a master frontend so that it's not a show-stopper that I cannot run master natively (the problem is significant - master and Xcode 9.4).
I can and will build master in a VM but opinions will be greatly valued
