I decided that I will update the nextcloud (windows) desktop client once or twice a decade (feddit.it)

I've enough.

Last year the automatic updater was rebooting windows without any warning after the uac prompt. The problem continued for months before being fixed

This year I got an update a week. Very annoying to get the same "why u no reboot? I need updates" question every single time I turn on my PC.

Today when updating it kills explorer.exe without any confirmation and doesn't bring it back to life.

I don't think that their paid enterprise customers are doing the ~~beta~~ alpha testers like this. Is it really necessary to push nightlies to end users? It can't be tested casually for a couple of days then pushed?

I disabled the updates check and will update the nextcloud desktop client manually every 5 years if I can remember. Added an exception to Winget so it doesn't update it. I lost my patience.

My skills are not impressive at all, but my NC instance is rock solid. Its been running on rpi4 for more than 6 months and then moved to Celeron server a year ago. I have disabled most plugins since I dont use them and its been quite fast. Only 2 users though. Linux/Windows/Android clients are auto updated, but I manually update the server (docker). Hope Im not gonna jinx it lol

I’m glad yours is stable! I don’t know why, but mine, if you’d cut a loud fart near the server Nextcloud would just shit the bed on me. God forbid I try to update Nextcloud.

Like you I had most plugins disabled, and I was the only user. I first ran Nextcloud using NextcloudPi on an rpi4, and that ran solid for like four years. However, when I repurposed that pi and moved Nextcloud to my server in Docker, it just would not reliably run for me no matter what I did. At that point I also wasn’t really using Nextcloud anymore so I just abandoned it as not worth the effort.
