Announcements and status/progress updates about upgrades will be posted here.
This website runs on a dedicated host and will be up even if everything else is down.
Nextcloud will be upgraded from version 34 to 35 on Friday 02 October 2026 at 01:14 (server time).
What changes for you: Nextcloud moves up to its next major release. The most visible change is in the interface: the search box now sits in the middle of the top bar, the app menu has been tidied up, and there is a new setting to reduce animations if you find movement distracting. Files and sharing get a long list of small fixes — drag-and-drop in Chromium-based browsers, the folder tree keeping its selection, clearer warnings when moving a file would overwrite another, and better handling of shared-folder quotas and share passwords; calendar users also get improved delegation notifications and an option to import a calendar. After the upgrade you will most likely be signed out and need to log in again, and it is worth reloading the page once so the new interface loads properly. If you use the desktop or mobile apps, update them to a current version, and note that some optional add-on apps may be unavailable for a while until they get a compatible update.
Expected impact: Nextcloud will be unavailable for roughly 10–20 minutes while the new version starts up and runs its own database upgrade.
Technical notes: Not covered by the automation: before starting, check that every app store app in use already has a release for the new major — the upgrade disables incompatible apps and nothing re-enables them, so afterwards run occ app:update --all, review the disabled apps list and re-enable what is still needed. Check the admin overview / setup checks page for new warnings once the instance is back up. The office suite settings were reworked into a shared Office admin section and the OnlyOffice entry was replaced, so if a document editor is configured, verify the selection is still the intended one. No configuration or environment variable changes are required by this release, and PostgreSQL 15 / Redis 8 remain within the supported range.
