Dear All,
I have used ChatGPT and written code to automatically update Nextcloud as follows.
You can refer to and modify it according to your own situation.
Please note that you are responsible for any errors that may occur.
update_nextcloud_fn.php
the community strongly recommends to not using this script because its insecure and really dangerous. It could harm your server and lead to dataloss.
