Thanks for linking! did not see that thread. Is php 8 supported?
It mentioned:

Centos -
8 - PHP 7.2

Ubuntu -
18.04 - PHP 7.2
20.04 - PHP 7.4

The panel is brand new, not even officially released yet, and we are talking about centos 8
"CentOS Linux 8 will reach End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021."

And for ubuntu, well 7.2 is EOLed and 7.4 will be in 9 months... I will download and give it a try with PHP 8 to see if it works,* but imho if it does not support php 8, then it is better to wait and release it when it supports php 8.

I have downloaded Hetsia/vestaCP several times on my tests servers, considered moving on, and leaving Sentora, but I can't bring myself to do it, I just love Sentora.  If it will take another 5 years to support php 8 (by the time it is dead), it will be sad...

Thanks to all contributors for all for all the hard work

* edit: no it does not work if you update to php 8. First problem you can no longer add new websites.
if you try to run

Code:

php /etc/zpanel/panel/bin/daemon.php

you get  

"PHP Fatal error:  Declaration of db_driver::query($query) must be compatible with PDO::query(string $query, ?int $fetchMode = null, mixed ...$fetchModeArgs) in /etc/sentora/panel/dryden/db/driver.class.php on line 123"

in php7 this used to raise a warning, in 8 it became a fatal warning. I rolled back my php version to 7 and it works again now.
