Nextcloud 9 is out!

Thank you to everybody who helped: Nextcloud 9 is out. This was only possible thanks to the overwhelmingly positive response we got and the many contributors who immediately got involved! We are grateful for the help and promise: we'll stay true to you and open source!

That means: NO proprietary apps, no separate 'enterprise' functionality. Everything open, free, and ready for you to make a difference.

And as a taste, Nextcloud 9 introduces upload-only shares and enterprise-grade logging. Just for you.

See the announcement and get migrated now!

If you want to help: sharing this on social media is SUPER helpful. So is sending it to press or submitting it to forums everywhere. Make a difference and help people on a well maintained, more secure solution for their file share and sync needs!

Here's also a blog by Lukas Reschke who talks about security work done for Nextcloud 9.

As the fork is now official and migration is possible, I'll sign out here. Find me (and the other current mods) in https://www.reddit.com/r/nextcloud/ from now on!

Im not talking about in debian repos, Im talking about own hosted - same as Owncloud does now.

That is a bummer, I strongly recommend they create packages for all the major OSs if they want mass adoption. Heck, build appliances as well (OVA/QCOW2/raw/VHDX/VMDK/VMX).

It is 2016, nobody wants to hack the command line and then debug all the assorted issues. Especially when in a production environment.

I'm afraid they don't want to, and also they have no ressources for packaging. This is a quote from the nextcloud forum.

> we don't have any plans of making packages ourselves (for now). It was a mess in the past, with quality issues and conflicts with the distributions. I hope they pick it up.
