How to simulate an upgrade Nextcloud ?

[zak39]

Hi @juliushaertl 👋

I would like to simulate an upgrade from a Nextcloud instance.
But, I don't know if these steps are correct :

1. cd workspace/server
2. git worktree add ../stable25 stable25
3. cd ../stable23
4. git checkout v25.0.5
5. git submodule update --init
6. make
7. I'm doing a few actions (create workspaces, create groupfolders and so on.).
8. git checkout v25.0.10
9. make

What do you think ?

In general just checking out the version to upgrade to would be fine, just that you won't be able to jump between multiple major versions, and jumping between patch version is only possible with debug mode enabled.

Currently there are no build steps required for server so the make would not be required.

So, if I understand, should I use the updater via occ command or web interface to update Nextcloud ?

Knowing that updater is not present (see below), do I have to follow the steps in this post ?

The updater itself is just for replacing the files (which you do with the git checkout already). Running either occ upgrade or click the update button that apprears after switching the source code version is enough.
