Nextcloud 23.0.4 and 22.2.7 are out, plus test releases!

We have two fresh updates for you! As always, minor releases include stability and security improvements that are designed to be a safe and quick upgrade. We also published a second release candidate of Nextcloud 24 for the testers among you.

What’s new?

You can find the full changelog of fixes and improvements for 23.0.4 and 22.2.7 on our website.

Note: running web-facing software without regular updates is risky. Please stay up to date with Nextcloud releases of both the server and its apps, for the safety of your data! Customers can always count on our upgrade support if needed!

Help test upcoming releases!

For those of you up for some testing, desktop client 3.5RC3 is also ready for some attention! You can get it here.

One feature that comes with this new release is the ability to choose the Beta channel for releases to help test upcoming RC’s! Our team also brought this feature back to the 3.4 series, it is already in 3.4.3 and 3.4.4 so you can just set your client in the settings to the beta channel to test the RC out!

Moreover, Nextcloud 24RC1 is out, with RC2 coming soon, also ready for your input! In particular, we really appreciate testing of the upgrade process. You can find it on the download page in the bottom-right, or on the download server.

Get updating!

End of public support for Nextcloud 21

Nextcloud 21 is not being maintained, so start preparing your move to 22 or 23 if you haven’t yet, or check out or Nextcloud Enterprise offerings with up to 5 years long term support. As always we strongly recommend you update to ensure you have a secure and reliable content collaboration platform that respects your digital sovereignty!

Stay safe: keep your server up-to-date!

Minor Nextcloud releases are security and functionality bug fixes, not rewrites of major systems that risk user data! We also do extensive testing, both in our code base and by upgrading a series of real-world systems to the test versions. This ensures that upgrades to minor releases are generally painless and reliable. As the updates not only fix feature issues but also security problems, it is a bad idea to not upgrade!

This is, of course, also true for apps: Keeping them updated has security benefits, besides the new features and other bug fixes.

If you are maintaining a mission-critical Nextcloud system for your enterprise, it is highly recommended that you get yourself some insurance (and job security… who gets blamed if the file handling system isn’t working as expected?). A hotline to the core Nextcloud developers is the best guarantee for reliable service for your users, and the job safety of you as a system administrator.
