ℹ️ Support

I have just updated my Truenas hosted jail of nextcloud via the web update to (Nextcloud Hub 9](30.0.2)

but on the admin setting im getting this warning:-

You are currently running PHP 8.1.17. PHP 8.1 is now deprecated in Nextcloud 30. Nextcloud 31 may require at least PHP 8.2

I tried to update to php82 in the ssh of the jail but it borked my nextcloud, i tried quite a few times but failed every time. Lucky i took a snapshot beforehand.

Any pointers to a step by step guide? thx.

what i tried:
I did a pkg update, seemed to work,

then

The nextcloud web UI just says this now:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report.

Check your nextcloud.log. That will tell you. We can only guess. :slight_smile:

So are you saying that i am doing this the right way? If so then what is this at the end of the attempt to use pkg install php82 php82-extensions ?

pkg: php81-8.1.30 conflicts with php82-8.2.24 (installs files into the same place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/php
4

It’s deleting all the PHP 8.1 files, but it only manages to install these couple of PHP 8.2 files before it fails with the conflict error.

So it never actually installs all of php82.

How do i get past this?

5

To remove some stress in terms of timeline, see also On the roadmap drop of PHP 8.0 support in Nextcloud 31

Server will drop 8.0 with Nextcloud 31 / Hub 10. Henc eyou will still be fine with / for the next major release.

6

ok, thx, so does that mean that eventually php8.3 (or 8.2) will come down as part of the web UI update at some point?

I have asked for the same help on the truenas forum but its a trail to failure so far

Very lucky i have roll-backs

7

No, never.

PHP (and its versions) are part of the underlying platform on top of which Nextcloud is operated/executed and is in no way part of Nextcloud itself.
This would only be the case for Containers (Like NExtcloud’s Docker AIO) and VMs.

I have no knowldge how Nextcloud is operated/installed in your scenario.
