My nextcloud server was initially installed in 17.0.2 version, I update it to 17.0.3 and 17.0.4 without issues with the automatic update function (from admin web interface).
So my actual version is 17.0.4
Now, the 18.0.2 version is shown to be available from admin interface, to be installed.
I would like to know if there is any risk to apply this upgrade to my server ?
My server config is
centos 8
Nginx
mariadb
php with php-fpm
and installed apps are
Zimbra Drive
Talk
Ransomware protection
Quota warning
Due to the fact that all systems are different and all updates could have an impact on a system, you should follow the usual recommendations and create backups of your system, databases and files, etc. before you’re going to apply the update. Although I haven’t had any problems updating my system things might run different on your server.
Please also use the search function of this forum to get an idea what can cause possible update problems.
Personally, I already migrated 8 instances to 18.0.0 (and…1/.2) but left two critical ones on 17, manly due to the fact that the new vue.js in user management still has some issues, like “one cannot edit oneself”. This will probably be fixed with .3. If so, I’ll migrate the remaining two systems.
I have a similar server setup to yours and didn’t experience any issues. I also keep regular backups so it’s easy to rollback in case of unrecoverable problems.
The 18+ series is a complete rewrite of Nextcloud’s SQL handling.
Don’t just update to the 18.xx version since it will break your system.
Please Backup your sql files and your data.(I didn’t!) before you do a new install.

Yes, disable ZimbraDrive before upgrading…also after running the upgrade you will more than likely need to run (sudo -u nginx php /usr/share/nginx/html/nextcloud/occ db:add-missing-indices)
