If you really don’t want to wait any longer? No worries. Just upgrade to Nextcloud 19 manually. However, backup your server first! Then, switch into the privileged user mode:
sudo -s
Change your directory:
cd /var/www
Move your current Nextcloud folder:
mv nextcloud nextcloud18
Download the new (latest) Nextcloud release:
Extract the binaries and remove the download:
tar -xjf latest.tar.bz2 -C /var/www
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
rm -f latest.tar.bz2
Copy your Nextcloud configuration back:
sudo -u www-data cp nextcloud18/config/config.php nextcloud/config/
Perform the upgrade to Nextcloud 19:
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ upgrade
Finally optimize your Nextcloud database:
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ db:add-missing-indices sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ db:add-missing-columns sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ db:convert-filecache-bigint sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ app:update --all
Create an update script file using Vim to optimize and update Nextcloud 19 system:
vim update.sh
Copy and paste below information into the new update.sh file:
# Ahuitech (December 14, 2020)

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/service nginx stop
sudo -u www-data php7.4 /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

sed -i "s/output_buffering=.*/output_buffering=0/" /var/www/nextcloud/.user.ini
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud
redis-cli -s /var/run/redis/redis-server.sock <<EOF

sudo -u www-data php7.4 /var/www/nextcloud/occ files:scan --all
sudo -u www-data php7.4 /var/www/nextcloud/occ files:scan-app-data
sudo -u www-data php7.4 /var/www/nextcloud/occ app:update --all
/usr/sbin/service php7.4-fpm restart
/usr/sbin/service nginx restart
exit 0
Save the update.sh file in Vim using the following commands:
Press the Esc key first and then type :wq and then press Enter key.
Now, execute the update.sh file with the following commands:
chmod +x update.sh
