Upgrade quickstart
------------------
One effective, if unofficial method for keeping Nextcloud current on Linux servers is by configuring
your system to use Nextcloud via a self-contained "Snap" package: a technology allowing users to
always have the latest version of an "app".
Nextcloud snap is an unofficial Nextcloud designed to be easy to install and simple to maintain.
The ideal Nextcloud snap is an "install and forget" Nextcloud instance that works on most
architectures and updates itself without needing administrative skills.
Combining Nextcloud with snapd makes it a perfect fit for IoT or scalable environments.
Snapd is a secure and robust technology which the Nextcloud snap team has embraced.
That version from Canonical is quite restrictive. It is not aimed at developers or advanced users
who would want to tune their configuration by installing extra features. It is aimed at end-users
who want a no-brainer solution. Install it, use it. No need to worry about updating Nextcloud any
more.
It will work for as long as Canonical pushes releases, just like with any other Linux package
maintained independently of Nextcloud.
However, the snap is opinionated.
- Nextcloud snap uses Apache.
- Nextcloud snap uses MySQL.
- Nextcloud snap uses PHP.
In other words, it's not very tinker-friendly.
Installation
------------
**Ubuntu**
$ sudo snap install nextcloud
sudo snap install nextcloud
**All other distros**
(`be warned <https://github.com/nextcloud-snap/nextcloud-snap/wiki/Why-Ubuntu-is-the-only-supported-distro/>`_)
By default the latest stable Nextcloud snap release will be installed and it will automatically update to
subsequent stable releases, but there are [other releases available as well](https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/wiki/Release-strategy)
and you have full control of [automatic updates](https://github.com/nextcloud-snap/nextcloud-snap/wiki/Managing-automatic-updates).
After installation, Nextcloud will start automatically.
Assuming you and the device on which it was installed are on the same network, you will reach the Nextcloud
installation by visiting `<hostname>.local` or the IP address of the instance in your browser.
If your hostname is `localhost` or `localhost.localdomain`, like on an Ubuntu Core device,
`nextcloud.local` will be used instead.

Do not use on IoT devices yet. You probably don't need these instructions anyway if you're
