Server/PHP Settings

The CMS Questions
1

I did not find any recommendation to config a live webserver.
Usually hosting providers have lists for diffrent cms but incomprehensibly, Kirby is rarely represented there.
I’m talking about settings like this:

dir()	
eval()	
exec()
link() / symlink()	
passthru()	
phpinfo()	
popen()
proc_open/get/close/nice/terminate()
readfile()
shell_exec()
show_source()
system()	
virtual()	

allow_url_fopen
APCu Cache
APCu Cache
max_execution_time
max_input_vars
Zend Decoder/GuardLoader
Zend OPCache
zend_assertions

Are there any recommendations or is it too dependent on the provider?

Since Kirby 3.7, we list the required extensions in the composer.json file in the kirby folder.

For completeness sake.

Required extensions:

SimpleXML
ctype
curl
dom
filter
hash
iconv
json
libxml
mbstring
openssl

Suggested extensions:

PDO: Support for using databases
apcu: Support for the Apcu cache driver
exif: Support for exif information from images
fileinfo: Improved mime type detection for files
intl: Improved i18n number formatting
memcached: Support for the Memcached cache driver
zip: Support for ZIP archive file functions
zlib: Sanitization and validation for svgz files

Functions used by Kirby:

exec: for the Imagemagick thumbnail driver
popen: for sending emails through sendmail

there might be others but I didn’t find them with a quick search
