[sunjam]

For internal testing and notes. Do not expect support!!!!!! Please do report testing issues here.
First beta of 25 released as of 8/12.

• "It seems like you are running a 32-bit PHP version. Nextcloud needs 64-bit to run well. Please upgrade your OS and PHP to 64-bit! #1645

• [stable25] fix NC25 for 32-bit server#34905

  • • Update update.sh - 32bit architecture check #1648 by ZendaiOwl
  • • fix update for 32-bit server#35434 will be released in 25.0.2

• [Bug]: NC 25 error when trying upgrade from beta 7 to RC1 with GUI server#34201

  • Updater bug does not delete .step file, breaking upgrade until removed.

• Fatal error after upgrading to NextCloud Hub 3 (v25) deck#4138

  • Disable Deck app until the team properly releases the fix to the appstore. Seems for reason the only version available within the standard updater is broken 1.7.1 that was released about three weeks ago.

• add Nextcloud 25 appstore#917 for appstore listings.

• Nextcloud 24 Support #1447 for NextcloudPi

• PHP 8 support #1542 for NextcloudPi

• Not working with NC25 juliusknorr/apporder#112

• See wiki discussion topic on which apps are compatible with Nextcloud 25

• Support PHP8.2 server#32595 support within overall Nextcloud might not be included by the time 25 is released, but it is in development now.

• Changes for developers & admins for Nextcloud 25 server#32117

10/19/2022 First stable released. See Deck error listed above.

Download Nextcloud 25.0.0.beta6...

Done. Press any key...

Download fails when attempting to update to any beta of 25 from ncp-config or 4443

For some reason the update menu "This Nextcloud is up to date" is not displayed in 24.0.3 or 24.0.5 on the Docker image from NextcloudPi.

Successfully upgraded directly to 25.0.0beta7 from the command interface.

Thanks for testing!

I think the ncp updater doesn't understand versions that consist of anything else than 3 numbers separated by dots. That's why it's failing.
The update option in the NC GUI is deliberately hidden, because it's dangerous to use the NC updater - if you update via ncp-config or autoupdates instead, ncp can rollback if anything bad happens

[sunjam]

Interesting, that functionality was previously available to at least tell you "Your Nextcloud is the latest release" with a green check mark. I understand that in the end it isn't strictly ncp related. Thanks for the clarification.

It's basically a specific nextcloud app that has been disabled

[sunjam]

As if by magic, the built-in Updater works again. I am unsure of why it wasn't rendering, but it certainly works now. 🍾

[theCalcaholic]

The magic is you updating NC manually :D
ncp's updater disables the NC update app after completing the update

Running nc-update-nextcloud
Current   Nextcloud version 25.0.0.12
Available Nextcloud version 25.0.0rc1
/usr/local/etc/library.sh: line 408: [: 0rc1: integer expression expected

Resolved by switching from beta to stable and then back to beta branch for upgrades.

After installing 25.0.0rc1

The database is missing some indexes. Due to the fact that adding indexes on big tables could take some time they were not added automatically. By running "occ db:add-missing-indices" those missing indexes could be added manually while the instance keeps running. Once the indexes are added queries to those tables are usually much faster.

    Missing index "preferences_app_key" in table "oc_preferences".
    Missing index "mounts_class_index" in table "oc_mounts".

Some columns in the database are missing a conversion to big int. Due to the fact that changing column types on big tables could take some time they were not changed automatically. By running "occ db:convert-filecache-bigint" those pending changes could be applied manually. This operation needs to be made while the instance is offline. For further details read [the documentation page about this ↗](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/25/go.php?to=admin-bigint-conversion).
