Jan from the Nextcloud team here. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. :) We’re very happy with the new release, especially the the improvements on security and performance.

Also I like our new video chat a lot. ;) As you know it’s all open source, so any contribution is welcome! https://github.com/nextcloud

I have an owncloud instance and want to migrate to nextcloud. Just wanted to know if you have ubuntu/debian ppa like owncloud? I have very little experience with PHP and don't want to install it from source.

We don't offer any PPA for the server repository ourselves. Mainly because we didn't had many good experience in the past with repositories.

So what we're focusing on is providing an easy and reliable updater (just like Wordpress does) instead of distribution packages.

Migrating is described at https://nextcloud.com/migration/ and we also have a help topic in our forums: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/migrating-from-owncloud-to-next...

Probably the easiest way in your case is to backup the config folder and your data folder, then uninstall the ownCloud packages and install PHP/Apache yourself. Then simply put our newest release into the web root and copy your old config there as well. If you need more help on that I'm sure we have many people in our forums willing to help :)

It's funny how you apparently can "set new standards" by "using industry standard security processes".

LukasReschke2• 10 years ago

Fair enough, there is some kind of marketing-ishy statement in that. I give you that :-)

But considering the security features that we include such as Same-Site Cookies, CSP using Nonces, etc. I don't think the statement is totally wrong – many products are sadly missing these. We also have a bug bounty program where we offer up to $5000 for qualifying vulnerabilities: https://hackerone.com/nextcloud
