Download Nextcloud 12.0.8 / 13.0.3

Nextcloud has released updates for versions 12 and 13 of their eponymous software. With this program it is possible to run cloud storage in-house. Nextcloud was created after a large number of developers left ownCloud and started over. All components, including the enterprise functionality, are offered as open source and the revenue model is similar to what Red Hat does, which is to provide paid support for major customers. Nextcloud also promises a so-called drop-in replacement, which makes it possible to easily switch from ownCloud to Nextcloud.

In version 13, the user interface has been refreshed, making it more responsive and better looking at high resolutions. Furthermore, ldap has become a lot faster and we see the introduction of Nextcloud Talk, an audio-video and text communication platform. The release notes for this update can be found below.
