What’s deceiving here is that a lot of people are truly concerned about ownCloud 10 and we get mixed signal on wether PHP8 will be supported in ownCloud 10 or not.
#OWNCLOUD VS INSTALL#
So, does it mean that the Docker version will run a specific owncloud-core that’s compatible to up to date PHP (8.0, 8.1, etc …) ? And that if we want to install a standalone owncloud-core we have to stick with PHP7.4 ? It’s not really clear, plus it looks overkill to have experts to have a secure PHP version rather than upgrading to PHP8 … We have contracted experts to assure that our Docker above will always include a maintained and secured PHP version.
My point is not to be a hassle, just could you consider adding PHP 8 support on the official roadmap to keep ownCloud 10 afloat ? But the same problems could occur on Ubuntu.ī) Right, Ubuntu 20 will stick around for a while, but still PHP 7.4 shouldn’t be maintained once its EOL has been set officially. The maintainer could stop anytime its support, could inject backdoors or anything catchy, there could be packages conflicts, etc … At least on the Debian point of view I share. I understand your position but IMHO it’s not “good advises”.Ī) Using PPA, even when it’s not coming from some unknown source, is not a good way to keep your system up to date nor secure. My personal recommendation currently is to use eitherĪ) Ubuntu 22.04 with ppa:/ondrej/php which brings you the latest php-7.4.29 with not only security, but also bugfixes.ī) Ubuntu 20.04 with php version 7.4.3-ubuntu2.10 which contains all known security fixes also present in 7.4.29Ĭ) Or any other distribution which has their php at 7.4.x and applies security patches. PHP 7.4 is still community supported, including security fixes. If oCIS was a replacement to ownCloud 10 it wouldn’t matter so much, we could wait for a migration documentation to move from ownCloud 10 to oCIS. Nextcloud which one is more secure ownCloud Vs. It’s a bad habit and we’ll still have PHP 7.4 running in 10 years with all the security/migration problemsĪlso, by the end of 2023, PHP 8.0 won’t be maintained anymore, my point is that time flies by and ownCloud 10 might lose users, because distros won’t package old PHP versions forever, at least they shouldn’t.Īn interesting thread about PHP versions. Nextcloud which is more user-friendly ownCloud Vs.
#OWNCLOUD VS PATCH#
It shouldn’t be up to the maintainers of distros to patch security fixes to PHP 7.4 because some softwares still require it. PHP 7.4 security fixes won’t be done by the official PHP team by the end of this year. I’m not sure to understand your position about PHP 8.0. Even after the end of support upstream of PHP, there will be maintained versions of PHP 7.4 around from various distros. PHP8 : Currently there are no plans to start working on PHP8 support.
