Announcement: ownCloud 10 and PHP Versions

You can still use

It works fine with Debian 12 Bookworm.

My preference is to use it with PHP-FPM to make it easier to support newer PHP for everything else. While PHP-FPM is not officially supported by ownCloud, I have successfully run it that way for more years than I can remember.

Hey,

i think it is important to note that Bullseye will be the next “LTS” version with additional support until August 31st, 2026 if i’m understanding LTS - Debian Wiki correctly.

But i’m not sure if this also includes additional (security) support for PHP 7.4 :slightly_frowning_face:

Hey,

I am also very interested in a PHP 8 Support.
Is there any news? Is this aforementioned PR still worked upon? Or is there maybe any info if or when this can be expected in the near future?

Any Info is appreciated.
Best Regards

Hello,

Unfortunately, PHP 7.4 has reached EOL, therefore Owncloud must be made compatible with PHP 8+

Thank you.

Anything new on this topic?
Is this still active, it seems work on this has stoped for month.

Shouldn’t this be kind of a priority since php 7.4 reaches EOL?

Thanks for any information on this,
Best regards,
Leo Härdle

PHP 8.2 leaves active support at year’s end. PHP 8.3 may be a more suitable minimum target at this time.

Ok, sounds legit.
But is there any effort in this direction?
Any timeline?
I don’t understand why this is handled so poorly and seem to have no priority. In my eyes this will creep out users over time getting more rapid by the minute.
For my case the migration to next cloud also seems to get inevitable over time, if this keeps on going.

Hey,

i’m not sure but i don’t think that the ownCloud people will share any internals on this matter or will give any details in public here (otherwise i think they probably would have done this already since this thread was created two years ago). :frowning_face:

But i think it could be possible that their priorities have shifted with the introduction of oCIS or with the acquisition of ownCloud by Kiteworks. Maybe the days of the PHP based ownCloud are already counted? But i think we can only do assumption from user side :frowning_face:

I for myself are also weightening my options but luckily i have time until August 31st, 2026 when PHP 7.4 support will probably end in Debian Bullseye.
