Mcrypt deprecated

[lwd-adam]

Howdy all. Thought this would be the best tracker to try first! Looks great. Seems like I may be late to the party though.

I've completed the tutorial on 20.04, except for installing Mcrypt - PHP 7.2 deprecated it. So, I see "Mcrypt Extension not loaded." when I visit my new Gazelle site.

Has anyone continued working with this in PHP 7.2+? I would like to know how you compensated for Mcrypt, if you don't mind. Novice area for me. Thanks for anything / everything so far.
