Linux packages status

I just tested Ubuntu 18.04 and saw that nextcloud is not included in the official software repositories, ownCloud and integration into other applications like dolphin, nautilus and others can be found there. Do you think about adding nextcloud as well?

@Plastikschnitzer Well, only the client actually. As it will stay at that version number (except for a few minor updates) for five years, it will be horrible outdated over time depending on which features will be necessary/important in the future. So there is a need for an external repository/Snap/Flatpak anyway.

Is a 32-bit Debian client available (preferably as a .deb)? Every way I go I’m only encountering 64-bit versions.

Hi @elmussol, the repository from @ivaradi has 32-bit packages: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi/Debian_9.0/i386/

Well hunted. Thank you @m4lvin.

FYI, the OpenSolaris version (pkgin in php72-nextcloud) runs very fine as well. :slight_smile:

Cloudron has an installation package since a long time and we update it regularly. It is also one of the most popular packages installed on Cloudrons so far. Is there a possibility to have our package link ( https://cloudron.io/store/com.nextcloud.cloudronapp.html ) mentioned in the list here? The source of the packaging is located at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/nextcloud-app

Please note that I no longer maintain my repository with Debian packages of the desktop client. There are now packages in stretch-backports and buster which I recommend. You can find instructions how to switch at https://m4lvin.github.io/nextcloud-client-debian-packaging/.

Sad to see you go but nice to see that there are now official Debian packages!

Hi there,

@ijurisic, i am a happy user of your Debian repository for installing/updating/upgrading a Nextcloud instance on my homebox, and i wanted to know what are your plans about Debian 10, that was released some days ago:

  • Are you going to open a repo for Debian Buster?
  • Have you already considered the changes that will be necessary for porting your nextcloud-server package to Debian 10?
  • Do you need some help about this? If so, where can we talk about it? Do you have some kind of SCM for your packages?

Thanks in advance,

I’m new here and I use a translator to help me talking English.
Hello.
I know it’s rude to have a big problem/wish right at the beginning.
But I am missing termux distribution.
I’ve been trying to install Nextcloud on an Android media player (himedia Q10 Pro) for a couple of weeks now.
I think the player is certainly faster than an RPi and runs at my home anyway the whole time. Nextcloud would be a highlight.
I have tried very different solutions and always fail in very different places.
I hope the way via termux will work.
There is a “php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 ~/nextcloud” approach, that shows me: it could work. That’s the way I got Nextcloud to work on the player. That would almost be enough for me.
However, if I want to use apps, https is expected. That’s why I like to use nginx + php-fpm + sqlite / mysql (mariadb). And it would be faster, I hope.
When I’m working on termux, at the moment this error stops me: “You are using a fallback implementation of the intl extension.” I had already tried recompiling php-fpm, but there are other limits.
I can use an ubuntu (ubuntu-in-termux) or debian (debian-in-termux) via proot under termux. For both solutions, an error with mariadb stops me. MariaDB can not be made working by compiling.
I had already tried to run under ubuntu (ubuntu-in-termux) with the help of snap nextcloud.
But I’ll have to learn a lot of information because both, the installation of snap and apparmor do not automatically lead to a funtioning system.
I have to do a lot of work after installation - I do not know anything about apparmor and snap, how it works and how to support.
I’m using termux on the console, the media player is not rooted, it does not have a working /etc/init.d system and I’m not a guru.
Is there a termux solution in future?
My impression so far is:
mariadb also appears to be having problems with termux - this may be related to user u0-a50 (non-root). My first attempt with sqlite had worked though - without httpd and php-fpm.
Php-fpm has this batty intl problem that I get regulated neither by init- nor by conf-file. Compiling brings me and the player to the limit (too little memory apparently).
A test installation with Dokuwiki shows me that nginx and php-fpm actually work roughly.
ubuntu-in-termux and debian-in-termux seems to be unfinished. You can not take that.
There is still a Fedora solution for termux, where docker is supposed to work, but I know neither docker, nor fedora on the command line.
I would be happy about ideas that bring me further - or about a finished solution.

@jospoortvliet Hey, please change https://www.techandme.se/nextcloud-vm/ to https://www.hanssonit.se/nextcloud-vm/ in the first post.

Thanks! :rocket:

Solus has the desktop client available:

@jospoortvliet Hi, the official recommended repository for downloading Nextcloud client packages for Ubuntu/Debian has changed from Launchpad PPA to openSUSE Build Service.

The new repository points to the beta version (2.7.0) instead of the stable version (2.6.1). Is this an error in the URL?

Thanks.

Edit (2019-12-04T00:00:00Z): the official repository is back to Launchpad PPA.

Hi and thanks to all packagers.

Current default client for linux pointing to Appimage is not ideal but I can understand it is the cheapest .

What long term packaging solution would fit best to point newbie to ?

  • PPA are still hard to install .
  • Snap might be difficult to use with access to folders
  • Flatpak might be the right way ?

Why is the launchpad ppa listed on the install page for debian, when there is the package nextcloud-desktop and dolphin-nextcloud in debian standard repos? Are the launchpad packages newer? I’m using the debian default packages on debian testing without any issues so far.

Because if you are on deian <10 or Ubuntu < 19.10 you need the PPA ,

Apart from snap & flapack there is no silverBullet to distribute a package for linux

Do we have any news about the fedora package ? The url is in cycle and in the repo we are still at version 2.5 or something

Seems like the Ubuntu version needs changes for 20.04 LTS using ZFS. I’m having a lot of wonky behavior and slow performance going on.

I installed 20.04 fresh a few days ago. Put on the NC by this method: Desktop client : “Nextcloud development” team
Last night while opening LibreOffice spreadsheets my system hung up a bunch of times, but came back. That could have a variety of reasons though. (I suspect a conflict between Google Sheets in Chrome and LibreOffice Calc on Ubuntu fighting over a shared resource.)

Today during a software update check I got a partial upgrade message so I ran it and it wound up uninstalling the Nextcloud Desktop software. After a reboot and software update check it reinstalled the software but it doesn’t run and their’s no Icons to be found.

I’m going to give the one in their software store a whirl today. If that goes bad I’ll give the Nautilus another try and mention it here. If the one in the software store works, I won’t post about it since this is an old thread.

Ah weird, something similar happened to me today on Linux mint 20.1. There were two updates today, the second one deinstalled the client. now I reinstalled it via ppa and the nemo integration is gone
