The death of Owncloud?

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?

    The next gneneration Infinite scale written in Go is no replacement for people like me: I handle several owncloud installation on an internet shared hosting, and unless owncloud comes with a new version supporting PHP 8, we might have to transfer all our installation to NextCloud.

    Not sure how "new" Owncloud works but what exactly stops you from running multiple binaries and proxy-ing them thru Nginx ?

    If anything, it's much easier than taking care of whole stack instead of single binary
