We are saddened by the passing of @Todd_Blubrry , a true pioneer of podcasting and a lifelong advocate of open RSS.

We had the chance to meet him at Podcast Movement 2019, when Castopod was only an idea. He listened, advised, and encouraged us.

His values will continue to guide the podcasting world.

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

Is there a way to tell castopod which php version to use if several options are available on a VPS installation, for example with a line in the .env file?

In other software the following is used:
'php_path' => '/usr/bin/php'
'php_path' => '/etc/php/8.1/fpm/'

CloudPanel does that very well for you.

Its removal threatens innovation, collaboration, and the sustainability of Europe’s open-source ecosystem.
NGI has proven essential for fostering technological independence and interoperability.
