Updated to v30.0.5 already.
Thanks for the great work.

Update is stuck in downloading. Webinterface and Console. It actually downloading the file, I had to delete it manually to start from scratch, but still it is not working.

What is the reasoning behind classifying a missing high performance backend as an ā€˜errorā€™ (red) in the Security & Setup warnings? Is this supposed to generate more enterprise contracts? Iā€™m not a marketing person, so I donā€™t know if it will help with that or notā€¦

What it is very likely to generate though, is a bunch of posts here on the forums, and I bet there will be a lot more posts about that red warning than there ever were, from people who donā€™t have the HPB installed and are looking for help with video callsā€¦ :wink:

Download servers seems a bit loaded. Update works as it should but it takes time downloading the file.

Unfortunately, this often happens. I donā€™t even know what they do when they have to install hundreds of servers. Or do they copy the file as ā€œnc.zipā€ manually? Is there a workflow or documentation for e.g. +100 upgrades?

It would probably make more sense to simply have an option in config.php to replace the download server https://download.nextcloud.com with your own server or a mirror. Is that possible?

The checksums could or must still be loaded from the original server. However, zip-file and checksum from the same server is generally a bad idea (Linux Mint hacked in 2016). A hacker modifies the zip file and the checksum.

I agree with the ā€œerrorā€, should be warning. But in no ways you need a ā€œcontractā€ to setup HPB, a simple docker container is enough.

Well, your link is all well and good, and so is the link to the instructions on how to install the HPB. But I donā€™t want to install the HPB because I donā€™t need it. And please donā€™t get me wrong, I have nothing against Nextcloud making me aware of it, not even that the link leads to the Enterprise documentation, although that will upset many people even more and will almost certainly lead to ā€˜Is Nextcloud still FOSSā€™ discussions in the forum again.

Either way, this message should definitely not be ā€˜redā€™ (error), not even ā€˜yellowā€™ (warning), but if anything ā€˜white/blackā€™ (notice) like the other messages regarding the SIP and recording backend.

sure, but can we expect users to How to configure Talk:HPB (Talk High Performance Backend) for Nextcloud snap with docker?

I think it should be neither a warning nor an error, but if anything a simple notice. Or maybe it should not appear on the Security and Setup Warnings page at all, but only in the administration settings for Talk, because Talk works perfectly fine without HPB for text messaging and even for video calls with 2-4 participants, so HPB is not a strict requirement.

I think we can expect this from users who want to use it for larger video conferences, but those users need to keep in mind that installing HPB on the same server as Nextcloud will not magically allow them to do video calls with 50 people unless they have a lot of RAM and CPU cycles left over.

In the worst case, if the server is low on RAM and CPU cores, it might even be counterproductive, but of course it will help to get that green checkmark, which shouldnā€™t be dependent on optional things like the HPB in the first place.

A few minutes ago, updated to v30.0.5ā€¦it was without any problems :+1:

Thank you very much for the great job :vulcan_salute:
