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?

You can miss out the mcrypt package, we no longer use it.

Sounds good; we may want to remove that from the 18.04 instructions. Thanks for the info!

It's not in the 18.04 instructions, though.

Oh I see, not the package command, the a2enmod command. Changed!

Ah, I was referring to the phpenmod mcrypt command in the section for Apache 2.4 (https://docs.observium.org/install_debian/#apache-24).
Are we talking about the same thing?

BTW, it's often just better to use the installer script. It'll create a user and it ends up being a bit more secure (from, err, us, i guess).

No worries, I'll give the script a go tomorrow. Thanks for the quick turnaround!
