[vox-tech] Multiple versions of PHP on one server

[Nicholas Weigand]

This seems like a perfect use case for containers. Use docker or rkt to run
each site, and use nginx in front as a reverse proxy pointing to the local
listening ports of the containers. Using nginx (or apache or whatever) as a
reverse proxy will avoid the port collision problem.

I'd definitely look at containing these sites (either in containers or vms)
just for security reasons. PHP 5.3 hasn't been getting security fixes since
2014 according to http://php.net/supported-versions.php!
