I've submitted this pull request to address critical updates required for the upcoming Moodle release. However, it's important to note that we need to verify compatibility with Moodle, particularly with the anticipated Moodle 4.4 release which is expected to officially support PHP 8.3. Here are the key changes in this PR:
Update Base Image: The base image alpine-php-webserver has been updated to utilize the Alpine PHP 8.3 package. This update ensures compatibility with the latest PHP standards and improves overall stability and performance.
Removal of Libiconv Patch: With the update to PHP 8.3, the previously necessary libiconv patch is now redundant. Its removal is part of this update, streamlining the image and reducing unnecessary complexity.
Preparation for Moodle Release: These changes are in anticipation of the next Moodle release. They ensure that our environment remains in sync with the latest Moodle requirements, providing an optimized experience for all users.
For detailed discussions and the background of these changes, please refer to Issue #26 on our tracker.
I believe these updates are critical for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of our Moodle deployments. Your review and feedback on this PR would be greatly appreciated.
