install HZ on a PHP/MySQL shared host provider
We can install HZ on a PHP/MySQL shared host provider - have not done it since few years so.
Does it still work and what are the criteria to look for - let ś say for a personal hub with max. 10 channels - normal use ?
Looking for a reasonable and good working setup
1. Requirements
- Apache with mod-rewrite enabled and "AllowOverride All" so you can use a
local .htaccess file. Some folks have successfully used nginx and lighttpd.
Example config scripts are available for these platforms in the install
directory. Apache and nginx have the most support.
- PHP 8.1 or later.
- PHP *command line* access with register_argc_argv set to true in the
php.ini file - and with no hosting provider restrictions on the use of
exec() and proc_open().
- curl, gd (with at least jpeg and png support), mysqli, mbstring, xml,
xmlreader (FreeBSD), zip, openssl, iconv, intl, sodium, bcmath (or gmp) extensions.
The imagick extension MAY be used instead of gd, but is not required and MAY also be disabled via
configuration option.
- some form of email server or email gateway such that PHP mail() works.
- MySql version >= 8.0.22 or MariaDB version >= 10.6 or PostgreSql version >= 12 database server
- ability to schedule jobs with cron.
- Installation into a top-level domain or sub-domain (without a
directory/path component in the URL) is REQUIRED.

Enough GB disk space for files
AND the DB
Would be 256MB PHP Memory Limit enough?
What else to look for?
