Does not work

If having any issue about building this, please write some comments to let me know :).

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/php': File exists

@volandku, which one file do you use? The shell script or my Dockerfile?

I used this script on VPS Ubuntu 16.04
Tried to compile, there was warning about old kernel (2.6.34)

But, it doesnt matter, VPS supports only Ubuntu 16.04 \ Debian 9 and on ubuntu ppa\ondrej support for 16.04 was dropped, on Debian I installed frsh php ysing sury

Sorry. I cannot help you because I use the Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 at this recent time.

And just notice that Ubuntu 16.04 has been deprecated on 2021/04/30.
