As you might know the Nextcloud 9.0.54 and 10.0.1 releases came with a new updater.<\/a> This new updater allows reliable upgrading to new Nextcloud versions via the web and in the upcoming 11 release even via the command line interface.<\/p>\n

However, as they lack the new updater, versions before 9.0.54 currently receive no update notifications. Neither do the have an easy way to update via the built-in updater. As there are still a significant number of users on Nextcloud 9.0.53 and these users are potentially at risk of security breaches and missing stability bugs, we devised an easy way to upgrade to a newer release. Users of 9.0.53 and older will receive a notification pointing to this blog so they can follow the steps and get to a new Nextcloud, easily and safely.<\/p>\n

Seven steps<\/h2>\n

To upgrade an older Nextcloud system without manually having to extract and replace the files, follow these instructions:<\/p>\n

1. Log into your server with SSH or FTP and go to the folder where Nextcloud is installed, for example \/srv\/www\/htdocs\/nextcloud<\/code>
\n2. Delete the file updater\/index.php<\/code>. The folder updater\/<\/code> can be found in the subfolder of the folder where you installed your Nextcloud.
\n3. Create a new file updater\/index.php<\/code>. Copy-paste this content<\/a> into it and save it.
\n4. Add the following at the end of your \/config\/config.php<\/code> file, right before the line consisting of );<\/code>:
\n'updater.server.url' => 'https:\/\/updates.nextcloud.com\/updater_server\/',<\/code>
\n5. Log into Nextcloud. In your admin panel go to the updater section and switch to the channel “production” and then to “stable”. This ensures that your update cache is cleaned.
\n6. Reload the admin page with F5. You should now see an update notification to the Nextcloud 10 release. Scroll down to the “Updater” section and follow the instructions in the updater app.
\n7. When upgraded, remove the updater.server.url<\/code> line that you’ve added to \/config\/config.php<\/code><\/p>\n

Congratulations! Now you are on an up-to-date version with a properly working updater including update notifications for the admin account.<\/p>\n
