Nextcloud: Upgrade to 29

[stephdl]

I propose to upgrade nextcloud to the version 29 because nextcloud 28 is EOL in december 24

Proposed solution

Check requirements and upgrade to the version 29

Alternative solutions

if we fail we could try to upgrade to 30

Additional context

ns8-nextcloud:1.2.1

QA

• case 1: direct install
  install nextcloud testing directly with an account provider
  add-module ghcr.io/nethserver/nextcloud:1.2.2-dev.1
  login with the admin (default admin of nextcloud)
  you can see some indexes warning but nextcloud is workable

• case 2: upgrade
  install nextcloud stable with an account provider
  upgrade to testing
  api-cli run update-module --data '{"module_url":"ghcr.io/nethserver/nextcloud:1.2.2-dev.1","instances":["nextcloud1"],"force":true}'
  login with the admin (default admin of nextcloud)
  you can see some indexes warning but nextcloud is workable

• case 3: test the collabora version Collabora: upgrade to 24.04.11.1.1 #7232

case2:
upgrade went fine,. after i have only one warnig mor than before

check_for_working_wellknown_setup is set to false in your configuration, so this check was skipped.

but all is working
only one minor glitch at first login for each user black window with a white small rectangle (esc or left mous click to exit), i suppose some welcome screen... but it could be my browser
only nextcloud, no test on collabora
thx!

[stephdl]

hey, @dz00te thanks

Could you try also collabora ?

Could you try also collabora ?

I have never used collabora, so I may not be precise
I did a quick test on my nextloud and I had no particular problems using the Nexctloud Office app, I did not use LE (use the set Disable Certificate Verification)

Nextcloud 1.2.2-dev.1
Collabora Version 1.0.9-dev.1

I will do some more checks on a test vm

• We must prevent upgrades from version 27 (after migration). The app is missing org.nethserver.min-from label for that.
• Let's bump 1.3 for NC 29. A patch increment does not fit a NC major as we've already seen.

QA

target package 1.3.0-dev.1

• upgrade case
  enable the testing repository
  redis-cli HSET cluster/repository/default testing
  install nextcloud:1.1.9
  add-module ghcr.io/nethserver/nextcloud:1.1.9
  configure nextcloud
  then upgrade with the software manager, you must upgrade to 1.2.1
  once upgraded you can upgrade to 1.3.0-dev.1 from 1.2.1
  nextcloud is up and workable

• direct install
  test to install directly the module
  add-module ghcr.io/nethserver/nextcloud:1.3.0-dev.1
  configure it
  nextcloud is up and workable

Both test cases (upgrade and direct install) VERIFIED successfully

Would it be Ok and in order to get a version 30 in beta or testing, immediately version 29 Has had a full release cycle.

This should not impact any prodcution installs, but only those seeking to premptively test the newer version of NC30 for their workflows.

For thos using in prodcution, will continue using version 29, untill 30 becomes mainstrean in NS.

WHat are your thoughts?

[DavidePrincipi]

The Renovate bot should file a PR as soon as a new release is available. The automatically built image should fit the new installation test use case.
