It has been decided to revert the decision about fully dropping and blocking 32 bit instances. We are currently working on: making sure that the updater of Nextcloud 26 will not block the updates of 32-bit instances reverting the breaking changes introduced so far for Nextcloud 26 planning the de…

I think we’re all aware that support for 32-bit isn’t going to last forever. However, it would be really nice to have this as long as possible, and as long as existing 32-bit hardware have mostly adequate performance to run NC nicely (e.g. my Odroid HC2 is still plenty capable). The other thing tha…

I’ve already offered my help in testing the upgrade process here .

[image] dg1sek: working iMac27 away just because some nextcloud guy thinks that I am taking unreasonable security risks to run a 10y old machine that is not updated Well, it’s not the fault of Nextcloud that your Mac does not receive any updates. I’d try to see if you can get other OS running…

Wow, how could I have missed that until now :smile:. I’m positively surprised! Having a 32-bit Nextcloud instance here as well, so can help testing too, and did/will do so for future Nextcloud (beta) versions.

[image] Daphne: Update quoting @Andy : Update on this: Andy informed me the beta 2 release was not feasible to reach for 32-bit support, it will be for beta 3.

Will it require another subversion of NC25 to have the NC26 blocker removed, or is the blocker in NC26 or update server code only?

[image] MichaIng: the blocker in NC26 or update server code only? The new beta3 of nc26 claims compatibility with 32-bit. Have not seen any 25.x release which reintroduces support (yet). Can anyone confirm if any upcoming 25.x release that will include 32-bit support, which was originally a…

I mean the blocker for updates from NC25 to NC26 on 32-bit systems can theoretically be within the NC25 updater code, somehow placed on the update server, or within the NC26 code. If it was within the NC25 updater code, another NC25 update would be required to unblock updates to NC26 on 32-bit syste…

I think it needs 25.0.4: [stable25] Revert #34908 to allow 32bit setups to upgrade to 26 by backportbot-nextcloud[bot] · Pull Request #36593 · nextcloud/server · GitHub

What SysKeeper wrote, the next release of 25 (25.0.4) due to this week Thursday 16th Feb. 2023 will remove the 32-bit upgrade blocker so you will then be able to upgrade to the v26 beta versions, later RCs and stable releases.

And again an update, the support might be broken for NC 36:
