Leaving ownCloud for good

ownCloud was kind of abandonned after the fork to nextcloud. I wanted to stay true to my historic “own” cloud provider. But the lack of support for PHP 8.1 now that 7.X is EOL killed it for good.

Two messages for anyone that comes here through random search :

  • There is no way to migrate automatically to nextcloud anymore. Chances are you updated beyond ownCloud 10.5, and there’s no downgrade possible. So don’t try.
  • Long life nextCloud! I didn’t realise the many things I was missing with ownCloud… NextCloud has million more features. So leave ownCloud now and go to nextCloud.
