Update version of PHP and Debian

[flosoft]

Tested this on my Docker containers, upgrade seems to work without any issues.

Looks good to me, no issues experienced while testing. @bassmaster187 PHP 7.3 has been EOL over 1.5 years already.

Is the path still valid for custom php.ini?

TeslaLogger/docker-compose.yml

Line 57 in a676a57

- ./docker/webserver/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini

It is indeed still valid. Just checked.

This has been open for a while now - any reason for not merging this one?

Wondering that as well.. I could create MR for updating mono to 6.12.0.206, MariaDB atleast either 10.5 or 10.6 and grafana at least to 10.4 but not going to if they are never going to get merged.

updating the database software without upgrading the database data can lead to loads of (remotely/automatically) hard to solve problems, for example see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37856155/mysql-upgrade-failed-innodb-tables-doesnt-exist

The problem was, a restore of a huge database didn't work. Maybe because of php settings that not applied to the new php version. I think it would work, if anybody will check the new settings of php.ini.
Plus, I want to be on par with raspberry installs. So that should be also adjusted.

Keep in mind, if you update a 3rd party software, a couple of updates will be failed and you have to spend time to fix it. With over 7000 Teslalogger users, that can be a huge problem. So I want to update 3rd party software only if the is a reason to do it like security problems. what was your reason to update?

PHP versions before 8.1 are "end of life" and there are several vulnerabilites which haven't been patched for 7.3 which might or might not be relevant for TeslaLogger.

The main reason for the bump was that I had issues on my ARM64 docker image not working properly and occasionally just showing a blank page. Bumping PHP fixed that.
