Any plans to make a version for windows server?

Does the existing version run on Windows? It's PHP and standard components.

Sorry if this is answered, Internet has been down for half an hour and I've been in the process of replying all this time.

Nextcloud doesn't run on Windows as much of what we do has to do with the filesystem and Windows has been a pita in that area. It used to require us to maintain an entirely separate filesystem abstraction just to have it not break all the time. If Windows ups its standard there, offering a full transparent, posix-compatible FS then I guess it will be easy... But we don't want to go the route of having all kinds of special cases anymore as that just results in exploding test cases and breakage.

there's a docker container but it wasn't there when I made the video so it is only in the text. Also, I'm entirely unexperienced in using those so I'll probably go for a VM...

I think it is time to start sending sweaters to hell. They'll need it!

Any plans for more of a Nexcloud "appliance" , say a NAS with Nexcloud integrated. Love the Raspberry Pi WD project but one still has to provide the Pi

On the software side, a couple of projects offer something like that. @alefattorini talked about one - Nethserver. And there is Univention's UCS which is a bit like that for SMB. And the Snaps from the Nextcloud Box can be put on any device/os that supports it (most linux'es).

With hardware - yeah, it would be nice to have a NAS with Nextcloud sold out of the box... We are talking to the guys doing the Omnia router, perhaps that'll come with Nextcloud some day

And maybe somebody wants to start a business? We would be happy to help and if you need hard drives, let me know, I know some ppl at a big storage vendor

Full program now:

I just published our upgrade blog which I highly recommend to read before you upgrade.

The forums have a good topic on 9.0 too.

Enjoy 9.0!

I was wondering when some integration for MAC os like the client will be become available? It seems the current client is coded against an old openSSL library? Same for firefox or safari browser integration on a MAC? It seems like some file preview functions are all giving issues that is not helping the adoption to MAC users? Those same functions like preview etc. seem to work fine on a windows client. but please keep up the good work in coding! the product is awesome in its functionality.

More work is happening in this area, the upcoming 2.3 client will have a newer openSSL for example. And more is coming

and a nice blog with an overview: https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-conference-program-live/

you probably miss some PHP plug which allows LDAP. "php7-ldap" it is called on my openSUSE system.

What type of support does NC have for contacts and Calendars?

We have CardDAV and CalDAV syncing and apps to handle contacts and calendars. So you can share calendars, invite people and all the basic stuff.

Let me add another one then: we just released a Windows Mobile app. Community FTW, this was done by a volunteer!

I just want to troubleshoot this issue

Well your version is part of troubleshooting the issue. Your OS lacks the support that you want (support meaning it lacks support for PHP7 with LDAP.) That's part of the issue. It's not an aside.

Does ownCloud9 actually REQUIRE PHP 7?

My install updated without any headaches, but that is because I already had PHP-7 installed.

no no, not at all, I just gave that as example on MY system. It requires PHP 5.4+

So installing php5-ldap or php-ldap should do the trick...

Going away from the open core was the right step. Still, Nextcloud (.com) is owned by the Nextcloud GmbH, will there ever be non-profit organization or a foundation that holds all the trademarks and domains.

Good question and the answer is 'yes'. Frankly we wanted to do this much earlier but it is a fair amount of work and we are still very busy building up the project. The plan is to create a foundation that would own the trademark and, under certain circumstances (like a take-over of the business) have the right to take it away from the company. The board of the foundation would consist of a majority of non-company-affiliated people, and the community should vote on who's on there.

Open questions are what else the foundation should do. Accept and handle donations? Do the conference? Even some development? Or nothing other than the trademark protection? These things have their pro's and cons so we have to have a wider discussion still. Perhaps at the upcoming Nextcloud conference, I'm not sure yet. We will have a solution in 2017, though, I am quite certain of that.

Wow that is great. As the last WP user in the world, thank you for doing this.

pay me back by sharing the news and telling people to use Nextcloud

@mlnews Yes, widely held theories. Hard to know if there's any truth to them.

What I also heard from people who should know (as in, people who contributed to KDE in its infancy) is that he first tried to contribute to KDE, was turned down, then to XFCE (which, indeed, predates GNOME), was turned down - then moved to create his own desktop.

Well, if this was all a ploy to harm Linux on the desktop, it succeeded, though it's a long play - far longer even than Stephen Elop destroying Nokia and MeeGo to give MS a chance with Windows Phone.

@scottalanmiller certainly sounds like a bug, yeah. I never really used the app myself so I can't speak for it but I would suggest to file an issue

@JaredBusch let me hereby promise that if you find a bug going from oC 9 to Nc9 or Nc9 to Nc10 and we can find and fix the issue, you get a t-shirt!

yeah, the versioning history is file specific and not a security thing.

Ubuntu's Snap tech perhaps could be made that way, or something like btrfs snapshots but those have a cpu and memory overhead.

These images are specifically made for the Raspberry Pi + Western Digital PiDrive (see here for info). WD wants to sell a special ownCloud edition of the PiDrive with ownCloud preinstalled and asked the ownCloud community to create an image for it - we took the challenge

@scottalanmiller said in How Do You Rename a Note in NextCloud:

It's also important for NC to see it. They have it as an included app that shows up and if customers lose data, that's not a good selling point for them on the system. They need to be aware, too.

note that it being on our apps.nextcloud.com site doesn't mean it is 'included'

But it is available so yeah, reason to have a good look and warn users. Thanks for the bugreport, I hope this can be fixed soon. Losing data is an absolute no-no.

Yeah, it works now - whatever it was it is solved
