Ok i have leaned my lessen on not upgrading my os.
Hello
Bad idea, you should upgrade your OS but you have to inquire before. Nextcloud is not a apt package on debian or Ubuntu, as a consequence, there may be compatibility issues. In the official NextCloud doc, (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/admin_manual/installation/system_requirements.html ), Ubuntu 20.04 is not recommended. Maybe because the doc is not up to date, we cannot know. So lets the NextCloud Team updating the doc to be sure that the last version of whatever is compatible.
