It appears that the install instructions for Ubuntu 18.04 still require that mcrypt be enabled. However, mcrypt was deprecated in PHP 7.1 and fully removed in PHP 7.2, which is used in Ubuntu 18.04.
In addition to updating the install documentation, what is the timeline for replacing mcrypt in Observium? What are the correct steps for installing Observium on Ubuntu 18.04?
