What's coming in Cloudron 9

[girish]

Today was a big day internally After many many months of work, we have finally tagged and published 9.0.0 . Sorry to be a wet blanket though - this is currently not available for new installations or even for an update.

Our plan is something like this:

• We have currently upgraded our servers to 9.0.0. Since issues only appear in production and when running for a while, we will monitor it closely over the weekend.
• From next week, we will set 9.0.0 as the default for new installations. i.e cloudron-setup will install 9.0.0 by default.
• After another week, we will provide it as unstable update.
• After that, we can roll out slowly.

There are still many minor bugs, it's listed here - https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/issues/848 . I think by the time it is available even as unstable update, it will be 9.0.1 and the obvious issues will be fixed.

Now, if you really really are impatient and want to play around , you can install it on a fresh server using cloudron-setup --version 9.0.0 . We have changed the subscription flow in Cloudron 9, you don't even need a Cloudron.io account for the free plan / test run.

edit: made a new thread to report bugs - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/14359/cloudron-9.0-beta-bug-reports

@girish excellent stuff, thanks for the update! (and all the work!)

From my point of view right now, all we need now is an ElasticSearch addon/ app so we can have full text search in Nextcloud and we'll be rocking!

@girish Glad to hear. Must mean that local development instances will be easier to spin up.

I think someone should start a bug post rather than using this topic.

[girish]

@scooke good idea

Please report any bugs in the separate thread - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/14359/cloudron-9.0-beta-bug-reports

Just released 9.0.1 . We will make it the default for new installations from tomorrow. There's still UI bugs to fix, but this is never ending, and I think what we have is functional and any bugs should be workaroundable.

I have updated the demo server . https://my.demo.cloudron.io (username/password: cloudron) , if you want to test it out. Please report any issues in the other thread at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/14359/cloudron-9.0-beta-bug-reports

What about automatic updates? Are you already rolling those out too? (if so I may disable auto updates for now as I think I'd like to wait a little longer)

[girish]

@jdaviescoates yeah, we have to be lot more conservative with the automatic updates. There will be a 9.0.2 after we sort out all the issues reported from new installs. Only after that. Not sure when exactly, depends on how the initial reports are. I will post an update here when we do make it available for automatic update.

How can I update an existing installation? I have an instance I use for testing before rolling out on production. But I don't want to erase the server

@andreasdueren if you send me the Cloudron domain name on support@cloudron.io , i can add it to our internal beta tester list .
