Why

The 8.5-edge image was meant to be short-lived: it pulled PHP 8.5 from the Alpine edge repository until PHP 8.5 reached a stable Alpine release. That happened in Alpine 3.23, and the regular 8.5 image now runs on Alpine 3.24, so the edge image no longer adds anything.

It can even fall behind. During CVE-2026-109618/109619, PHP 8.5.12 was published in Alpine v3.24 before it reached edge, so 8.5 was patched before 8.5-edge was.

What changes

  • 8.5-edge.Dockerfile is removed.
  • The README no longer explains -edge tags and no longer lists 8.5-edge in the version table.
  • CI and run-tests-local.sh no longer build or test 8.5-edge.

For users of 8.5-edge

Switch to existenz/webstack:8.5, or 8.5-rootless for the rootless variant. The 8.5-edge tag will be removed from Docker Hub after this is merged, so pulling it will fail instead of silently returning an image that no longer receives updates.

PHP 8.5 has been in the Alpine community repository since 3.23, and the
regular 8.5 image now runs on Alpine 3.24, so pulling php85 from edge no
longer adds anything.
