I usually do these tutorials for Ubuntu, however, Debian is having a surge in popularity and for good reasons, in fact, in production, I am switching from Ubuntu to Debian, so I thought it was time to add Debian 12 to the Mautic installation tutorials…

Debian has been flourishing lately, some key changes in their view of the world and changes in what is acceptable in a FOSS OS are bringing, a much needed, breath of fresh air.

So, if you don’t need to support the latest hardware, and you enjoy reliability and stability, give Debian a spin for your next Mautic 5 installation, you won’t regret it!

Mautic 4.4.13 Installation Tutorial: Ubuntu 22.04, PHP 8.0, MariaDB 10.6

Why install Mautic 4 when Mautic 5 is already available?
Don’t get fooled by the new and sparkly Mautic 5, it is too soon to use it, go for the stable and reliable Mautic 4 instead.

Well tested, very stable, no known major bugs.
Existing bugs in M4 are already fixed, and security patches were added in Mautic 4.4.13.
Uses older, stabler versions of the entire stack (Ubuntu, MariaDB, PHP, etc…)
Stack will not vary over time as it is very mature.

Mautic Self-Hosted Best Practices

Mautic will run on any server that supports PHP and a MySQL compatible database, which is little short of saying it will run anywhere, you could run it on Linux, Windows, you could run it on your phone, what the heck! you could probably run it on your smart coffee maker!

But should you? Of course not, your coffee maker runs java! hehehe.

Now seriously, which is the best platform to run Mautic? As always, it depends, so I will try to give you enough pointers for you to choose the best option for your own situation.
