Chevereto is compatible (supported) with the software versions listed in the documentation: https://v4-docs.chevereto.com/application/stack/php.html

Chevereto always support the oldest current PHP release: https://www.php.net/supported-versions (8.1 as now). If you want to go edgy try with 8.2 which works perfect fine. Due to long term support goals we can't be chasing updates that close neither narrow the PHP support window.

PHP 8.4 support will happen in about two years, I foresee a very slow adoption due to all the stuff it breaks in several dependencies. Don't worry that much about it, 8.1+8.2 was the performance update on 8.4 I don't notice any speeding.

Several of our dependencies are maturing very well, and Chevere is taking ownership of several layers. It goes at the right pace, will get faster with time.

Understood. I will switch back to 8.2.

Website was working great other than cron issue and ffmpeg library being outdated.

You don't need to touch PHP to get ffmpeg updated. The php-ffmpeg extension is a wrapper for the ffmpeg binary, will work with several ffmpeg versions. If you want to use newer ffmpeg simply place the updated binary path and done.
