I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work (feddit.it)

And it failed spectacularly.

We only needed a simple form, but we wanted to be fancy, so we used "nextcloud forms".

The docker image automatically updated the install to nextcloud 30, but the forms app requires nextcloud 29 or lower. No warning whatsoever. It's an official app, couldn't they wait that it was ready for NC 30 before launching it? The newsletter boasts "NC hub 9 is the best thing after sliced bread" yet i don't see any difference both in visual or performance compared to NC hub 2

Conclusion: we made our business to rely on nextcloud forms as a signup form, but the only reason we were using it was disabled who knows how many weeks ago.

No, I think if you're using the nextcloud all in one image, then the management image connects to the docker socket and deploys nextcloud using that. The you could be able to update nextcloud via the web ui.

I'm talking about docker compose

Im using docker compose. Cant remember the image RN, but something like nextcloud 26. AS long AS you specify a full Tag and use volumes, you can upgrade in the webapp.

That's makes sense

Just a side note but I think 26 is EOL. Upgrade to 29 or 30
