Debian Bookwurm upgrade PHP7.4 --> PHP8.0 on NC25

foggy · July 27, 2024, 9:28am

Sorry about my question about updates, but I’ve read many sites about that - and I’m very confused.
I’m only an NC user and my admin knowledge is very limited.
I’ve been using NC for a very long time, and I’m very happy; everything works wonderfully. I set up the cloud myself.
Now an update is due, and I’m stuck; I need tips and help.
Status
OS: Debian Bookwurm
php7.4.3
PC 25.013
What did I do:
I installed php8.0 and all the modules that were also installed in php7.4.

But NC say

Du verwendest im Moment PHP 7.4.33. Wir empfehlen ein Upgrade deiner PHP Version, um die Geschwindigkeits- und Sicherheitsupdates zu nutzen, welche von der PHP Gruppe bereitgestellt werden↗, sobald Deine Distribution diese unterstützt.

What’s going wrong? Where is my wrong understanding?

Honestly, I don’t know.
Booting the system is an option.
Your NC is EOL your Debian is latest I would consider updating nc to v. 28 at least.

So, if resolve all things; I thought, I’ve installed Bookworm, but it was Bullseye;
Nevertheless it was not very simple for me to configure all NextCloud und php config file.
I’ve had a lot of warnings and error - but now the next step ist php Mirgration

Thanks
