Hello,
my Raspberry Pi with NextCloudPi v1.48.2 tells me on /settings/admin/overview that there is a new version available: Nextcloud 23.0.7, but for NextCloudPi a compatible version is missing:
Why is it possible to update Nextcloud to a version which is not compatible to NextCloudPi?

It was always possible to doing that. It just wasn’t recommended. Usually NCP-devs would test updating process (and make adjustments if neccessary) ahead of deploying a new version
That still upholds. You can try to update on your own accord, but it might break.

(also explains this special behaviour of NextCloudPi - see " Why not just update from Nextcloud itself?")
OK, so it’s best to turn nc-autoupdate-ncp and nc-autoupdate-nc on.
Will nc-autoupdate-nc also update to a next major version (if available), eg. from 23 to 24?
Yes, nc-autoupdate-nc does also major updates. However - it’s always some releases behind. You can take a look at nextcloudpi/changelog.md at master · nextcloud/nextcloudpi · GitHub to get an impression when an update has been done in the past.
Advantage: Your instance will have less issues with new bugs in new versions.
Disadvantage: Your instance will get new fancy features later.
