Oooh, Nextcloud 20 has lots of nice new features!

[jdaviescoates]

Nice new dashboard, search across apps (and across connected apps), matterbridge integration for Talk, threading in email (and aliases back), and Deck now has CalDAV and lots more...

@jdaviescoates Very impressive, couldn't tell when we can expect it but this link seems to suggest more info on that: https://nextcloud.com/release-channels/

The new mail app looks very promising as well https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail (will only work with NC 20)

Added
Threading: related message are shown as conversations
Mailbox management: add, move, rename and delete folders and subfolders
Unified search integration: find emails everywhere, you don't even have to open Mail
Dashboard integration: see all important email at a glance when you log into your cloud
Display account quota: see how much storage your account is using
Multilevel mailbox structure: no more limits on how deeply you next your folders
Aliases: manage your identities
Collapse quoted text and signatures: hide the parts of a message that are less important, but make it possible to expand if needed
Create new folders when saving attachments

@necrevistonnezr honestly, if email, calendar, and contacts all worked well in Nextcloud I’d use it. Right now I use sogo because it integrates with cloudron mail and has a calendar and contact list for each one.

They still need a native dark mode, but I found a plugin for it!

Yes, we should also get Cloudron featured at the bottom of that post next to mail-in-a-box.

Great idea, but I think they'd likely be very resistant to linking to Cloudron there as it is no longer open source, whereas everything else listed there is

But fingers and toes crossed @nebulon and @girish will make Cloudron open source again for 6.0!

So I'd put this in the box marked "yet another good reason it'd be great if Cloudron was open source again"

[robi]

Does NC 2.0 address some of the data management issues people have been having?

Clearning up properly, large backups, etc..

Looks pretty cool

@atrilahiji It doesn't seem to break anything (as far as I can see) to upgrade. Might be worth doing? I just pulled down the repo, bumped the version, and deployed via the CLI.

[jdaviescoates]

@atrilahiji generally prudent to wait until the first point release i.e. 20.01 or whatever before updating the package on Cloudron.

[nebulon]

Indeed it looks nice. We will start testing an update soon, however based on previous experience we will likely only roll that out after the first patch release and even then slowly across our user base. Especially with those Nextcloud addons installed the installations often break and cause a lot of support tickets on our side.

@jdaviescoates oh I deployed into another app. I still have the old version hosted

[necrevistonnezr]

Nextcloud is now at 20.0.1
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/releases/tag/v20.0.1

Maybe @nebulon can have a look at it if it's stable enough by now?

[nebulon]

It is on our radar. Given that they introduced this new dashboard as the default view, I am working to adjust our tests. Lets see how smooth the upgrade this time around will be with Nextcloud

[nebulon]

I've released a new app package now for 20.0.1 but we will only roll this out slowly.

Just upgraded, everything seems to work fine! I had to restart the app once, afterwards I could see all update steps being taken in the logs.

[A Former User]

Yeah worked fine for me. Seems ok so far...

[luckow]

update ran smoothly. but most of the nextcloud apps are not compatible for the new major version
