Hi,

• Ubuntu_18.04
• Ubuntu_19.10

I did not see a Ubuntu 20.04 repo for owncloud either. Most probably this is because of Ubuntu 20.04 shipping PHP 7.4, which is not yet compatible with ownCloud.

The soon upcoming ownCloud 10.5 (there is already RC3 at https://download.owncloud.org/community/testing/owncloud-10.5.0RC3.zip) will be ready for PHP 7.4.

I guess repositories will be available little time after the release.

Anyway, from my experience I prefer manual installation to one via packages. If this is an option for you, you might want to read the installation docs at https://doc.owncloud.com/server/admin_manual/installation/manual_installation.html

If you choose not to use the release candidate for manual installation but the last stable version, there is an important thread about PHP on Ubuntu 20.04:

Owncloud 10.4.0-1 on Ubuntu 20.04 problem

Error Message “This version of ownCloud is not compatible with PHP 7.4 You are currently running PHP 7.4.3.” The only thing I could find on the internet was installing an older version of php and making that work side by side with 7.4.3 which I couldn’t get running.
