Providing images based on debian 11

[traed]

The latest versions of the WordPress docker image is based on php 8.2 which in turn is based on the Debian 12 image, up from Debian 11. We want to run the latest version of PHP, but upgrading to the OS version has caused a lot of compatibility issues for us since we need to run some old third party software. Would it be possible to also provide images based on php:8.2-fpm-bullseye or some way to choose which OS version to base this on (e.g. via an ARG) when creating Dockerfiles based on this image?

Oof, this is a good point - we had to do something similar for Drupal, but it's been kind of painful and hard to manage, so we didn't port something similar over here yet. :disappointed:

Sadly we've just hit this too - our setup isn't super complicated so it might be easier to resolve than it sounds like it will be for @traed, but still it would be nice if we could have debain 11 images to avoid having to do this across all our repos straightaway (especially as we're trying to get them all on PHP 8.1+).
