New release, unfortunately most apps not compatible (yet). That’s the usual wating game after a new NC release.
However, what’s that message in the admin UI:
That looks like there is some kind of limitation on bigger instances…
Took a look at the source and found a line in lib/private/Notification/Manager.php (see https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/v25.0.0/lib/private/Notification/Manager.php#L308): Here’s a check for a valid subscription or less than 500 “seen” users, otherwise this is not a “fair use of free push service”.
Questions:
- What’s the “unsupported community build of Nextcloud”?
- What are these “push notifications” (web, mobile, both - NC Talk also affected)?
- What means “limited”? Is there kind of a rate limit
- with delayed delivery?
- “hard” rate limit
- no notifications at all?
- What’s that “free service”? Can this be self hosted not to “overload the free service”?
I wasn’t able to find any official statement/documentation on this.
I mean, that looks fishy, just like NC is trying to force bigger instances into a subscription: “If you have no subscription, we reduce the features”. With NC 25 it’s some kind of “free push notification service”, but what comes next? Some apps are only available for subscribers?
If I remember correctly, this was exactly the reason for the fork from ownCloud years ago…
So, a lot of questions, hope that these can be clarified by an official satement.
