Description (last modified by robe)

Current version is 18

We are running nextcloud 15.0.0 and 15.0.0.2 came out a couple of days ago. It doesn't have that many bug fixes, but the 15.0.0.1 version does have a lot of bug fixes.

I did an experimental upgrade and it will require probably about 30minutes - 1 hour of downtime.

They have an online upgrade which I tried but it timed out doing backup etc, and since we don't really need our data backed up since I can snapshot the container before upgrade, seems better to go with the manual upgrade.

I'm also thinking of moving the data folder out of nextcloud folder and have on same level

I took the defaults during install which created a path like this:

/var/www/nextcloud
/var/www/nextcloud/data

I'd like to change it to this:

/var/www/nextcloud
/var/www/nextcloud-data

Main reasons for changing it, is

1) I think it's better to not have the data in the web folder just in case their is na nginx misconfiguration and it makes that exposed.

2) During these upgrades the upgrade steps are to

mv nextcloud nextcloud-old

and then copy/move over the data folder and any 3rd party apps you may have. I would do the move since I would do a snapshot of the vm anyway before hand. I'd much rather not having to worry about moving/copying the data folder back in place.

I've taken a backup of the nextcloud image and other containers until we have the general backup routine sorted out.

Summary: Upgrade to nextcloud 15.0.0.2Upgrade to nextcloud 15.0.5

New version is now 15.0.5.

I'm going to do some minor updates (collabora and group folders) to the plugins for now and deal with this upgrade later.
