It is happening for years

Nextcloud updater is very slow

I have 9 instances of nextcloud running on a server. None of them are heavily used. I am currently working on updating from 11.0.3 to 12.0.0 but have had this issue for the last few updates.

That’s all you should really know…

Use the CLI updater during European night hours.

And no, they don’t need more “free” users…
