 |
|
I've been putting off replacing Owncloud for a while, but now that php7.4 and Owncloud are masked, it has become more urgent.
Gentoo does not support PHP 7 any more, but Owncloud does not work with PHP 8. Reading about it, it looks like it never will support php8. Owncloud have a replacement product called "Infinite Scale", but there is no easy migration mechanism. It seems like the options available are:
1. Keep PHP 7.4 unmasked on gentoo (already having difficulties with this)
2. Run Owncloud using docker
3. Migrate to Nextcloud
4. Migrate to Owncloud Infinite Scale (oCIS)
Options 1 and 2 do not seem like good options in the long term as they continue to use outdated versions of PHP.
Nextcloud is a fork from Owncloud and looks like it has a migration mechanism. It also has a gentoo build. So this is probably the easiest option.
oCIS looks like a better product overall, written from scratch using Go. But migration looks more difficult.
I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and if they have any advice on which option to take. |

It is. I made this choice several years ago, and I don't regret it. The gentoo builds are slotted, so the updates are smooth and reversible, if you make a database backup before switching.
Since I use Nextcloud, I never had to turn back, but I always keep the N minus one version, just in case.
