    Please also note, that currently uwsgi does not yet have php >= 8.0.0 support (a fix has been proposed upstream, but it is not backported for our release yet). This means nextcloud can only be used with the php7 equivalents in that scenario (php7, php7-gd, etc.). If time permits I will look into that later today though.
