Hello @alex85810

It is considered a good practice to use the newest available (stable) version. You can also make sure that your code is compatible with the newer version in order to prevent any issues.

You can check the following question on how to upgrade the PHP version -

You can substitute the command from apt-get -y install lsphp74 to apt-get -y install lsphp81
