@jaredbusch build a new VM, and move the config and data over

Was what I posted hard to understand?

You obviously have no idea how many sync issues that type of thing causes.

So, upgrading....

Nextcloud (and ownCloud before) always say to upgrade without skiping anything, but never to skip a major version.

As I am on the last version of 9 with this instance, Should I upgrade to 10.0.1 or straight to 10.0.6?
https://nextcloud.com/changelog/#latest10

And then subsequently? Point releases and then majors?
Or should I just do the latest 10, latest, 11, latest 12, and finally current 13?

I would do point releases and then majors as outlined here:

https://nextcloud.com/migration

[JaredBusch]

Well looking closer, there are no minor Nextcloud releases. Only bug fix releases..

So that means upgrade to 10.0.x, then 11.0.x, then 12.0.x, and finally 13.0.x.

[JaredBusch]

No problem upgrading to 10.0.6.

Now I even have the option to use the built in updater.

@jaredbusch from step 4 The data files should keep their original timestamp (can be done by using rsync with -t option) otherwise the clients will re-download all the files after the migration. Depending on the original installation

Would you stop already because that is not the supported upgrade method.

FFS.

11.0.7 looking good.

success

[JaredBusch]

At least I am up to a supported version now.

To do the 9 to 10upgrade, I renamed the owncloud directory, downloaded the Nextcloud bz2 and extracted it as owncloud.
My data is in a different folder.
I copied the config back in and reset ownership and permissions, as well as reset SELinux permissions.

This system started life as ownCloud 7 or something like that. So it couldn’t hurt to clean the root folder up totally.

That's a lot of updates over the years!

Not yet.

At least not yet while I have been checking.

That transmit spike is offsite replication.

Yes

That’s a lot of files so I was wondering but seems pretty solid. I am possibly recommending this for a file server replacement.
