Since a few days I am running my Pi4 with bullseye NC 22 because there will be a security problem with buster and php 7.3.

found on https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

So php 7.3 will not receive updates after 6.12.21. And php 7.4 will get no security updates 1 year later.
So I decided to upgrade the bullseye php-version to php 8.0 - "assisted" by this sources:

https://www.c-rieger.de/nextcloud-21-mit-php-8-0-nachruesten/ - without special settings.
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-php-on-debian-linux/

php8 is shipped with the smbclient and supported until Nov 2023.
I copied the 90-ncp.ini to the fpm\conf.d directory and enabled http2 for apache.

With this configuration I am safe with bullseye and php until Nov. 2023.
Only NCP thinks my bullseye-system is outdated.
Hope that helps.

I just noticed a few things:

The /usr/local/bin/ncp-diag - file is checking for
buster:
echo "MariaDB service|$( pgrep -c mysqld &>/dev/null && echo up || echo down )"

but in bullseye it is running as mariadbd :
echo "MariaDB service|$( pgrep -c mariadbd &>/dev/null && echo up || echo down )"

I don't know with which configuration php7.4 is enabled by default, but in
/etc/php/8.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

the configuration for pm is set to dynamic pm = dynamic
and the other parameters for start_servers etc. are also enabled. Maybe php 7.4 is working in the same way?
So the RAM is used dynamically and normally lower than with static settings.
Enabling the jit-option in php 8.0 for example needs:
; Enabling jit itself by setting th buffer-size
opcache.jit_buffer_size=50M
; configuration for jit s. https://stitcher.io/blog/php-8-jit-setup
opcache.jit=0255

Hope that helps.

yes, we can do with the binary version, so that's what we did

Sorry, I have to ask again.
Is there a target date or week for a release?

@UN-pi thanks good catch. thanks

@nachoparker Busted. After upgrading. NCPI doesn't start anymore. Started fresh (twice) using the current image and upgraded again. Same result. Something is wrong. Can't check since I'm not having a mini hdmi cable.
