Description

Currently 7.2 is used, and this is annoying as MediaWiki actually requires 7.3+
there is now a 7.3 dev image, so we should use that

master doesn't, release branches do.

Should we maybe do that after T271736: Migrate WMF production from PHP 7.2 to PHP 7.4 is done?

Ultimately the CLI should allow you to choose from multiple versions, and the one used by default should probably work for all branches of MW

Both dev/stretch-php73-fpm and dev/stretch-php74-fpm currently exist, so perhaps the default should jump to 74!

It might also be nice to consider reloading running containers post update to ensure people pickup the change (and other changes) asap

Addshore moved this task from Priority Backlog to In Progress on the mwcli board.
