The death of Owncloud?

Webinium · June 11

Owncloud does not support PHP 8.

The problem is that the support for PHP 7.4 ends on November 28, 2022. After this date, there will be no security update.

I can't find any indication for a PHP 8 support.

Is this the end of Owncloud soon?

Thank you for your feedback

That's in like half a year

Owncloud also has another version that's written on GO and vue.js
That's probably the future of the project.

Didn't it forked to Nextcloud?

I am running Nextcloud on PHP 8.

Yes but it's not the same developer, though Nextcloud is the original Owncloud team.

Always surprised when people ask LET instead of the right places. Putting the LET in Let Me Google That For You. https://central.owncloud.org/t/owncloud-development-roadmap-future-of-owncloud-classic-versus-ocis/37633

What, 7.4 has still time, even if 7.4 is not longer supported by PHP, security patches will get ported back to 7.4 for quite a while.

I don't recall 8.0 going to breaking your bones when upgrading to 7.4.
It was quite easy for me, to upgrade my software.

I guess they have enought time to switch to php8 if they want to. I would also guess they will release the go version maybe at the end of the year?
