A little August project has just gone live. ☀️
I wanted to set up Nginx for a change, install Sym8 on it and see how the whole thing works in practice.
Well… one thing led to another, and the result is now a complete documentation site covering the installation of @sym8.io on #Debian13 with #Nginx.

The first Sym8 release was... let's say ambitious 😅
Documentation, website, GitHub & Bluesky — all at once. A few small issues slipped through, not really my style.
The first patch is already underway and planned for December 2 — improving the initial workspace setup and JIT image handling.

Why mandatory?
Because the dashboard restores transparency & trust:
• immediate clarity about the environment you’re running
• always up-to-date with release information
With Sym8 you don’t need to dig through docs or changelogs — the essentials are right in your backend.

• 8️⃣4️⃣ → maximum supported PHP version (8.4)
