Comment on Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server
suzune@ani.social 2 days agoWhat’s wrong with following the official upgrade procedure? Don’t complain about missing tables or indices then.
The most important thing is that the software does not break and you can maneuver out of every bad situation. This is important for self-hosting.
I don’t care if it’s PHP. Many good things are written in PHP. I find Python and Ruby much worse for web applications. Not because of the language, but because it’s hard to maneuver out of some situations.
That said I didn’t have many problems with Nextcloud. The only thing I criticize is that it solves too many problems at once.

I’m not sure what gave you the impression I don’t follow the official procedure, I do follow the official upgrade procedure, and always have through its many stupid iterations for the last 8 years.
Example error, from last week:
Devs did not test with NC instances created before v21.x, so the SQL db is broken when going through the official upgrade if your nc has tge old structure and I had to manually modify it to work.
This kind of shit happens about twice a year. Mind you, this exact literal thing happened from v18.x to 19.x also, you’d think they has learned their lesson.

So you seriously expect an upgrade from major version 20 or less to major version 31 going well?
It’s like upgrading from Windows 3.1 to Windows 11.

You misread that.
The database was from prior to 21.x, because installed NC 8 years ago at v14 and have upgraded since then. I’ve been upgrading the same system since late 2016.
Stop picking fights with strangers.

No I didn’t. You should really read the upgrade guide:
You cannot skip major releases.
