THIS is the future! Eventually most small and medium sized companies will stop trusting closed source.. Large companies and government.. some of the most nefarious entities ever to exist... don't trust them with your company data! Self host in a closed environment.. Nextcloud with AI FTW.

[@biorig]

Greetings from Academe Research, The Commonwealth Institute, India. Nextcloud powers our Universities!

[@heiko4297]

Great new Version of Nextcloud Hub.

[@papablopapapablo8123]

Nice job. Congrats and a lot of thanks. 😃👁‍🗨🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵.....

[@nilse]

Paperless support, AMAZING, LETS GOOOO

[@RealMTBAddict]

Can't wait for Nextcloud 420

[@melbruki]

Looks great always developing always staying ahead. For those critical of them, always develop and always inovatig is the right mind set. I applaud nextcloud for making this wonderful project available to all of us.

[@nahlcode]

This is extraordinary and worth trying.

[@jonidimo]

Amazing, as always!

[@gl5638]

Very good news! Please also check the the apps section because there seems to be a problem for versions after 28.0.3

[@biorig]

We need better n8n connectivity. Pabbly connect (Zapier alternative) would be great too. Thank you!

[@Nextcloud]

Great suggestions!

[@stephan3455]

I was looking at IONOS but I cant find the AI backend solution you are talking about in the video

[@DeirdreYoung1]

You guys need to drop this version numbering which is not the version number. I am running Version Nextcloud Hub 7 (28.0.4)

[@chrss.r]

Link Download OFF! :(

[@waffleMccoy]

I LOVE YOUUUU

[@morgfarm1]

Never had a reason to bump to the Beta channels before. This tiny and old Dell Optiplex 3090 is crying right now, but so far worth the upgrade. Question that I've yet to find a solid answer for: Is there a reason the richdocuments app (Nextcloud Office) runs so terribly slow on small deployments?

[@gphinol4243]

🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@ClarkDarlton5000]

Paperless-ngx-Integration?! Great! Tell me more - how to do that?

[@Nextcloud]

We love hearing your excitement for this integration! You can install the Paperless app from the Nextcloud app store: apps.nextcloud.com/apps/integration_paperless

[@l.a.v.5663]

Did you know that with each new Release (Hub) you increase the complexitity of the system. I'm now 70 years old and I'm a Bachelor of Computer Science since 1980 with some update at ETH Zurich. But again, I feel sometimes very unhealthy in the documentation and/or forums as well. Please note that if you continue to make it more complex I would be out of focus, once again since the retirement, and also you - don't forget - in 40 years. My dream 40 years ago was to make it simpler for human beeings not the opposite.

[@Sebastian-oj8ds]

Nextcloud Hub is positioned to be a MS 365 competitor which seems very promising to me. But you don't need to use all of its features...

[@l.a.v.5663]

Please note that I mean system administration issues of Nextcloud 22, 23, … 27 and last but not least 🎉28.0.4 like missing-Indices, protocol errors, and many of such inconvienieces in system administration, and daily System Updates. My Udater Button is not working since version 25 and I have to do it manually, and so on, and so on … This system updates admistration is not Perfect

[@thulanidhlamini1347]

This is a very good observation. Look at how the menu and apps have grown. I don't know whether its still a file and sync or its trying to be an ERP system. All these features may end up working against it . The focus should be on APIs and integration , better integration with InvoiceNinja , Moodle , Dolibarr , Mattermost , Rocketchat , Chatwoot , OpenProject etc.

[@Nextcloud]

@@thulanidhlamini1347 Thanks for the feedback that integrations are important for you. Our OpenProject integration is very active and strong, while we also have RocketChat, Mattermost and Moodle integrations that can use more contributors. OpenProject: apps.nextcloud.com/apps/integration_openproject

[@GUN2kify]

wow , only few month later and the next hub .. the next level of beta software, which has to mature at the customer.

[@JonNordland]

Gave Up after 2 hours fighting the docker all in one image.

[@kras_mazov]

Groups, Circles, Teams - aren't they just the same thing basically?

[@Nextcloud]

Teams can be seen as the evolution of Circles, and adding much functionality. Teams is a further expansion of the concept of Circles, upgrading some functionality and use cases throughout Nextcloud Hub.

[@stephendetomasi1701]

Great to see progress! Any idea if File Locking has been fixed yet? We run into problems with this regularly and it's really worrying that a basic feature like this still hasn't been fixed :(

[@Nextcloud]

So sorry to hear you've been having issues with file locking. Not quite sure what issue you're having specifically, but if you're able filing a bug would be helpful! github.com/nextcloud/server/issues. You can also visit help.nextcloud.com/ for some community assistance and discussion, if helpful. We'd love to find and fix bugs if we can!

[@Wlp42]

I'm incredibly disappointed in the lack of supporting amd GPU. This is a bias toward Intel and nvidia when and is years ahead of Intel while working to catch up with Nvidia on GPU. I cannot use your solution nor recommend it to customers as a tech consultant until there is amd support.

[@zenonvandeventer5229]

Hi, this is not a Nextcloud issue, this is an AMD issue. AMD has not provided a API platform like NVidia has and this is an industry known problem. Working with AI and other similar GPU intensive applications there are very limited options due to AMD just not caring.

[@malzbier1339]

Is it still gender neutral or has the AI Assistent warned of the idiological madeness.
