Marketing automation for Messenger and Instagram

A mature social-marketing platform built on CodeIgniter 3 needed to keep running on PHP 8.3 without losing years of accumulated features and customer data. The legacy app ran directly on the host and was blocking updates to everything else on the box. A full rewrite was not economically justifiable.

GoldSwap — Interface
Approach

We wrapped the legacy application in a self-contained Apache/mod_php 8.3 container, fronted by nginx as a reverse proxy bound to 127.0.0.1. Code, uploads and sessions stay in a mounted volume outside the image, and the connection to the host MariaDB runs over a bind-mounted Unix socket with no DB port exposed at all.

Result

The platform runs stably and isolated on PHP 8.3 in production without pinning the rest of the server. Real-time chat via Pusher and Stripe/PayPal billing keep working unchanged.

Key points
  • PHP 8.3 container, no code rewrite
  • MariaDB over Unix socket, no open port
  • Uploads and sessions persisted outside the image
