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 `_)
+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 `.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.
