The newest version of Nextcloud is released, with a lot of improvements:
Can we get this into Nethserver, please

This New Version is one most extremely anticipated.
It should, if possible in my opinion be the fastes nextcloud release cycle for Nethserver.
Especially the improvements that have been made for next cloud talk, are both massive, as well as important.
The ability of dragging and dropping files, very needed.
The editing function is very nifty. Not sure if it supports onlyoffice. i saw they advertised collabora, but I think it’s because of community backlash on their forums.
While someone is working on the updates, it would also be great if we could also get the high performance backend server as a module on Nethserver.
I have so far tried to inquire on someone that’s interested on it. perhaps most community members don’t invite many members t a call.
I am more than ready to test as much as possible this new Nextcloud version, for the Remote economy. Desperately needed update.
How do we install to test it on Nethserver?
ALso looks like someone has brought back mobile editing back
As usual:
yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing install nethserver-nextcloud
I guess they will start porting many apps to the new code base!
i see a good number have already began porting to the new code base.

@giacomo Have you had an opportunity to test the HPB signaling server for nextcloud that they open sourced
@oneitonitram this would be more incumbent on the community users to test and validate isn’t it? NS provides the base Nextcloud architecture but anything beyond the base install is beyond their scope of work.

No, I didn’t. I would like to, but I don’t know if I have time to do it and share the results (my notes are usually not understandable by other people 
).
You nailed it

Updated - Went well. Logged in via SAMBA AD authentication. NC Talk with remote screen sharing worked for me from remote sites. Thank you.

I have a lot of issues with Remote Storage after update from Netxtcloud 18 to 19, so please test everything thoroughly before you put it on production servers.

Thanks @support_team for making Nextcloud 19 available so quickly for us! I’ve upgraded Nethserver now and my Nextcloud 19 is working very well. I had trouble with OnlyOffice Document Server at first as it wasn’t updated yet but a new release of that app went out yesterday so all is good again.
So far I’ve not seen any issues. I’ll need to test out Talk though. I was never able to get video conferencing to work with Talk for attendees outside our office on Nextcloud 18.
Thanks!

what do you mean problems with remote storage.
I tested on a testing machine, it worked well, so i updated the production, it also worked so well.
nextcloud was also update to 18.6 which includes the new talk app, and some additional functions, maybe thats already available for prodcution on Nethserver, i dont know
do you have coturn installed on your server, or even a seprate serve to connect to.
if you do, vide calls and audio should work very well.

Hello Martin and thank you for your reply to my comment.
I’ve heard about using coturn server before. I’ve tried on test Nethservers to setup a coturn server but I’ve I’ll be honest and say I don’t know if what I setup was correctly setup. Personally I don’t like installing anything on my Nethserver that is not a native app to Nethserver. Our Nethserver is our AD, Webmail, Nextcloud and File Share. It’s working very well for us and I don’t want to add anything to “mess” it up.
That being said I believe I can install coturn on another server (we use Proxmox so installing a separate CentOS server and adding Coturn to it would not be hard). My problem is I’ve not found a step by step documented process I could easily follow to install coturn on CentOS. I have been linked to the following:
And perhaps it’s just me and I’m being thick and installing coturn is not that hard. The other part of installing coturn is how do I point my Nextcloud to this coturn server, what ports do I need to open in order to have users connect to my coturn server.
Sorry Martin…too many questions here and not relevant to this post. I have a post already where others have taken the time to respond to me. I will need to relook at installing/configuring coturn for my Nextcloud but for now I’ve been sidetracked on setting up our WebTop mail and file sharing for a planned upgrade to move our mail to WebTop.
Thanks!
External storage that read ibay with Nethserver user/password authentication
Permissions to these external storage are inherited directly from the data access permissions on ibays
so you need to work on ibay permissions by creating the correct groups and not assign the groups in the external storage configuration as you could do in Nextcloud 18
there is a case that if you go to put users (and only users, not groups) in the configuration of external storage, they take over the data permissions on ibay and accesses only have them from nextcloud
so if you want some users to be able to access ibay from smb but not from nextcloud via remote storage, forget it.
unwanted effect: you created a user directly in Nextcloud (not in Nethserver) and gave him permission to access an external storage/ibay (by configuring the access with another fixed netserver user): when that user accesses Nextcloud he also sees all the other external storage/ibay configured (which is not nice at all) without having access to it.
Simply: you can no longer manage ibay access with Nethserver groups from the external storage configuration panel in nextcloud 19 as you could in nextcloud 18
