Hi Michael, in the meantime, can you relase a version of 5210R with php 8.0 which is now a standard stream in Almalinux 8.6?
I tested that the stream was available on a fresh install of Almalinux 8.6 and it was. I had to do a: yum module reset php:7.2 then yum module install php:8.0 and it worked..
