RC4 of Nextcloud 28.0.2

@blizzz

On every occ command AND on the web interface - Nextcloud is completely broken now!

Upgraded from 27.1.5.1 to 27.1.6.2. That’s a STABLE release :warning::warning::warning: …well, at least it was considered as such.

See https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/43157 please and assist on how to fix this asap. If you spotted this on a RC, how did the stable releases got released at all?

Please… as mentioned:

Nextcloud is down !!!


Edit:

(hopefully) solved by ā€œdowngradingā€ to 27.1.5.1 (without database or data directory) by

  • restoring $nextcloud-data-dir/updater-ocXXXXXXXXXX/backups/nextcloud-27.1.5.1-1706394934 over my /var/www/nextcloud
  • and running occ upgrade afterwards.

Many double checks, backups and tests before and after that included made this freaking 27.1.6.2 update steal me 5 and a half hours of my life time (instead of the usual 10 minutes for minor updates), making this the worst update experience EVER.

Because of this personal experience with a stable (!!!) release AND the fact that

… I currently can’t trust Nextcloud('s update mechanisms) anymore. I don’t hope but expect others to run into this very same issue once the 27.1.6.2 or 28.0.2 update is performed by other 32 bit users. Have fun with that.

I’ll check back in a few weeks once https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/43157 is hopefully confirmed to be fixed in the 27 channel.
