Posting here since I don’t seem to be able to reply to posts in the News section.
I am going to test the PHP8 pre alpha on our 60K+ users installation (LDAP backend). However I just read that the new release will only be distributed as a docker image. We really rely on the plain tarball in our setup, we use the minimal version with a couple of modifications to the source code.
Please reassure me that at least the minimal tar.bz2 will still be distributed 
the tar ball is available - just like any source code of owncloud.
It is simply a no longer supported installation mechanism. Not saying it will not work (why shouldn’t it) - but we do not document anything else besides the docker setup and in case of trouble: told you so - not supported.
This is done to streamline the effort being put into the project.
Other than that: Thank you for pre-testing! Much appreciated! In return I’ll give you a hand or two to support your non-docker setup 
Thanks very much!
Where should I get the tarball from? Can’t find it in testing | download.owncloud.com or anywhere else…
oc11 is in the daily release at the moment - not tag yet daily | download.owncloud.com
As another who is currently running 10.15 uncontainerized, will there be an easy to follow “for dummies” readme to transition an existing OC10 setup to Dockerized OC11?
We will provide some explicit docs on this but you can basically follow Migrating to a Different Server :: Documentation for ownCloud (A Kiteworks Company)
