How to join such a "project"? I am interested in getting a syno-package of nextcloud, as owncloud is not really supported as it looks like.

@falcotec seems to be a php app... so you might want to check how other PHP Based SPK's work. ex: https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/tree/master/spk/bicbucstriim and https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/tree/master/cross/bicbucstriim

I am no longer interested in adding Nextcloud... I prefer to keep maintain ownCloud.

[AurelienKun]

@ymartin59 could you elaborate what's the advantage of owncloud over NextCloud. I read somewhere on the web that NC has more features and is more security oriented than OC ...

I'd prefer Nextcloud over ownCloud.

@ymartin59 could you think again about that? google trends

[cytec]

Basically the do more or less the same... i can understand that @ymartin59 doesn't see any advantage in maintaining two nearly same Packages, wenn we have a whole lot of others to maintain already... however since this is an OpenSource Project everyone is allowed to contribute:

just create the Package yourself, add yourself in as maintainer and open up a PR. IMHO that's the easiest or "most likely to happen" solution if you'd want NextCloud to be added...

Got a beta package working on braswell arch. See #3853
One good thing : the existing embedded Postgresql 9.3 from Synology can be used instead of MariaDB. Other versions of PostgreSQL should be fine as well like 11.6

@AurelienKun: We've already implemented updates to ownCloud. Is this request still necessary?
