dont think we need nextcloud 26 support before the other versions run stable

@Jannik44 this is for tracking the development of 26. It does not yet exist. Please do not reply here; this is for internal testing. Thank you.

RC2 was released a few days ago and first stable release has been pushed back to eta 3/21 (updated in top post). This means features are in a freeze and it should now be a good time to thoroughly test basic ncp support (32-bit and 64-bit) along with PHP 8.2

I got an error while updating to NC 26.0.0. This is caused by the music app. If the music app is disabled, NC26 works without problem. To get the update working you have to disable the music app and run ./occ upgrade (the ncp updater produced an error). After finishing the upgrade it was necessary to restart the server.
owncloud/music#1050

Tested the path ncp 1.51.0 - NC 25.0.4 --> 1.51.0 - NC 26.0.0.
Installation is a Debian 11 instance with curl installer ncp.

Update ras running without issue. Tinkered a little bit with it but had no issues so far. Looks like NC 26 offers some cool tools.

Nextcloud 26.0.1 is out!. I'll look into it now :)

[Schniefel]

Upgrade to 26.0.1 worked without any problem.

[LSchober]

Has anybody tried 26.0.2 yet?

[Schniefel]

Worked perfectly.

[theCalcaholic]

@LSchober I just updated an instance of mine to 26.0.2 and it seems to work fine. If my other tests reflect this, we will soon officially support 26.0.2
