Thatâs true. However I understood your post that you suggested to make an update to the beta version. Sorry if I misunderstood that.

no way!!! @jakobssystems do not make any update to a beta-version at all. sorry if that was misunderstandable. just changing release-channels. nothing more.
of course no way installing a beta. Guess I have to wait simply till NC13 is rolled out completely, right? Or of course do the manual wayâŚ

OK, it works like this (at least, that is my experience):
Changing the channels does not âhurtâ in any way, you can change them in any direction. After refreshing(!), there might be new versions available. Then you can choose to install them. After this, a downgrade is not possible.
So now, if you change to beta-channel, you should be offered 13.0.1, can install this version and change back to stable channel.
Yes, there is:
from ownCloud 10.0.7.2 upgrade to Nextcloud 12.0.6 and then further to 13.0.1
Hello Felix, I used this procedure to migrate from OC 10.0.7 to NC 13.0.1:
and selected the migration tool method. The trick that did work for me: before starting the migration tool via the /updater/index.php step, I changed the version number in config/config.php to 10.0.4.4!
See here for the background:
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/migrating-from-owncloud-10-x-to-nextcloud-12-x-or-not-and-if-so-how/25002/41
This will get you to OC 12.0.4, now you can use the integrated upgrade tool to get to OC 13.
Dont forget to backup your data Directory and the database before starting, in case anything goes wrong! Note: my system has a MariaDb 10.1.26 database and runs on a Debian 9.4 system.
I did this, but had to fake the version to 10.0.4.4 as described here:
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/migrating-from-owncloud-10-x-to-nextcloud-12-x-or-not-and-if-so-how/25002/41
Did you upgrade to 12.0.5 or 12.0.6? With 12.0.6 faking the version should not be necessary.
The faking was needed when migrating from OC 10.07 to NC 12.0.6, the migration script did choose that version. As I said in my other post, I followed this guide:https://nextcloud.com/migration/
Is this Script up to date for recheck file permissions?
#!/bin/bash
ncpath='/var/www/nextcloud'
htuser='www-data'
htgroup='www-data'
rootuser='root'
printf "Creating possible missing Directories\n"
mkdir -p $ncpath/data
mkdir -p $ncpath/assets
mkdir -p $ncpath/updater
printf "chmod Files and Directories\n"
find ${ncpath}/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640
find ${ncpath}/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750
printf "chown Directories\n"
chown -R ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/apps/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/assets/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/config/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/data/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/themes/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/updater/
chmod +x ${ncpath}/occ
printf "chmod/chown .htaccess\n"
if [ -f ${ncpath}/.htaccess ]
then
chmod 0644 ${ncpath}/.htaccess
chown ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/.htaccess
fi
if [ -f ${ncpath}/data/.htaccess ]
then
chmod 0644 ${ncpath}/data/.htaccess
chown ${rootuser}:${htgroup} ${ncpath}/data/.htaccess
fi
Just want to ask if it is up to date and I can use it in 13.x anyway. I found the script on a website for installing nc and this should do all stuff whats neccessary. But for what is the asset directory?
Cheers
Edit: Found it again in documentation of nc9:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/9/admin_manual/installation/installation_wizard.html#setting-strong-directory-permissions
Why its gone for the latests updates in the documentation?

Is there a problem if I runned it once after update anyway? Or is the updater doing the stuff itself?
Of course I commented out the asset directory. What was the folder assets for?
I saved the script in my homedirectory /home/user/ with ownership root (so no other user is able to edit the file and can´t run it) and it´s not located in the directory of www-data (/var/www/).
Also take care of the data directory in case it is located elsewhere (not in the ${ncpath}). And whatâs more, the
chmod +x ${ncpath}/occ
line seems to set execution permission to world. This is a security risk, of course.
Is there a way to repair the permissions? You´re definitly right and I trapped in a relict of previous times 
Any suggestions what I can do? 
And how handles this Nextcloud 13? Is now the updater responsible for file permissions?
Thank you in advance for the explanation 
Why do you think the permissions are broken in the first place? Does the cloud work? Are there any problems? There should not be any differences in NC 13. Give us a listing of the output of
ls -la
in the nc root directory. Is this a Debian / Ubuntu system? My directory looks like this:

Thank you. Now all is fine, just one problem left.
I followed this tutorial: HowTo: Change / Move data directory after installation
And used Method 2 to symlink out my data directory. When I do you suggested number 9, do I need to do this also on the linked directories? Or does linux do it automaticly? I looked now in the directory and the symlink itself is 777.
To be on the secure site:
I went to /var/www/ and followed your suggestion. Was this right or do I need to go in the nextcloud directory?
I looked at the linked directory:
drwxrwxâ 19 www-data www-data 4096 Feb 28 07:25 data
This is still correct, but in this it seems to look not correct, e.g.:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 1126022 Mar 17 11:37 updater.log
drwxr-xr-x 4 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 17 11:42 updater-oc6t6ey2ygrc
drwxrwxrwx 4 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 19 2017 updater-oc6wqgwqj867
Now I see that I have a bigger problem with my permissions and I will open for this next time a new topic, sorry for spamming for support in the news category
You have also lines that are executeable to others So I´m still asking what the savest solution 
When you will follow Bernie_O´s suggestion your permissions will look different than your previous ones.
So it´s a little bit confusing for me and that the reason why I´m asking

The x that you see in the âotherâ row are directories, so these are not executable flags. You might still be right, @Bernie_O has good suggestions.
yes, if you mean the first flag. But you have also an x =executable for ownership others. It´s like 751 atm but as in documention you need for my understanding a 750 for your directories For example your settings directory
I hope somebody can answer my question about the symlinked directories in my post #47 (Nextcloud 13.0.1, 12.0.6 and 11.0.8 available with improved password protection)
