They've pretty substantial one at that. They've pretty substantial one at that. They've completely rewrote a big chunk of how completely rewrote a big chunk of how completely rewrote a big chunk of how Nextcloud handles files under the hood. Nextcloud handles files under the hood. Nextcloud handles files under the hood. Federation is getting better. The AI Federation is getting better. The AI Federation is getting better. The AI assistant is improving. And there's just assistant is improving. And there's just assistant is improving. And there's just a lot of quality of life enhancements a lot of quality of life enhancements a lot of quality of life enhancements within talk, mail, and office that I within talk, mail, and office that I within talk, mail, and office that I want to go through. Of course, I'll link want to go through. Of course, I'll link want to go through. Of course, I'll link to their full blog post as well as one to their full blog post as well as one to their full blog post as well as one that I put together. So all that will be that I put together. So all that will be that I put together. So all that will be down below. So in this video, we're down below. So in this video, we're down below. So in this video, we're going to be covering a lot of those going to be covering a lot of those going to be covering a lot of those changes, but first I'm going to show you changes, but first I'm going to show you changes, but first I'm going to show you how to actually update it because I talk how to actually update it because I talk how to actually update it because I talk about Nextcloud quite a bit. So there's about Nextcloud quite a bit. So there's about Nextcloud quite a bit. So there's a chance that you might already be a chance that you might already be a chance that you might already be running the all-in-one instance. But running the all-in-one instance. But running the all-in-one instance. But before all of that, we need to give a before all of that, we need to give a before all of that, we need to give a second to thank the sponsor of today's second to thank the sponsor of today's second to thank the sponsor of today's video.

So real quick, if you don't know, what is quick, if you don't know, what is quick, if you don't know, what is Nextcloud? Basically, it is a free and Nextcloud? Basically, it is a free and Nextcloud? Basically, it is a free and open-source alternative to something open-source alternative to something open-source alternative to something like a Google Drive, Google Workspace, like a Google Drive, Google Workspace, like a Google Drive, Google Workspace, as it has everything you're going to as it has everything you're going to as it has everything you're going to need. It has files, contacts, emails, need. It has files, contacts, emails, need. It has files, contacts, emails, video conferencing, documents with video conferencing, documents with video conferencing, documents with collaborative editing, all of that. And collaborative editing, all of that. And collaborative editing, all of that. And you could self-host it on your very own you could self-host it on your very own you could self-host it on your very own hardware, on a VPS, however you want to hardware, on a VPS, however you want to hardware, on a VPS, however you want to do it. Granted, I will note it's a do it. Granted, I will note it's a do it. Granted, I will note it's a pretty large application. So the better pretty large application. So the better pretty large application. So the better the hardware, the better of an the hardware, the better of an the hardware, the better of an experience you'll have in general. But experience you'll have in general. But experience you'll have in general. But some of the updates kind of addressed some of the updates kind of addressed some of the updates kind of addressed some uh issues that it's had in the some uh issues that it's had in the some uh issues that it's had in the past. The whole idea of Nextcloud is to past. The whole idea of Nextcloud is to past. The whole idea of Nextcloud is to own your data, know where your data own your data, know where your data own your data, know where your data actually is, and you don't have big tech actually is, and you don't have big tech actually is, and you don't have big tech companies using your data, analyzing it, companies using your data, analyzing it, companies using your data, analyzing it, using it to train models, and all that using it to train models, and all that using it to train models, and all that garbage. That's the general appeal, and garbage. That's the general appeal, and garbage. That's the general appeal, and that's why me and a lot of other kind of that's why me and a lot of other kind of that's why me and a lot of other kind of home lab enthusiasts like to use it. So home lab enthusiasts like to use it. So home lab enthusiasts like to use it. So with that, you can see right now I'm on with that, you can see right now I'm on with that, you can see right now I'm on 25 autumn. 26 winter is what is 25 autumn. 26 winter is what is 25 autumn. 26 winter is what is released. You can see their full release released. You can see their full release released. You can see their full release announcement right here. Again, quite a announcement right here. Again, quite a announcement right here. Again, quite a bit of things have been added, changed, bit of things have been added, changed, bit of things have been added, changed, and improved. But first things first,

and improved. But first things first, and improved. But first things first, I'm going to do a little update guide I'm going to do a little update guide I'm going to do a little update guide because, like I said, chances are some because, like I said, chances are some because, like I said, chances are some of you might be running it. And of you might be running it. And of you might be running it. And thankfully, it's not too much work cuz thankfully, it's not too much work cuz thankfully, it's not too much work cuz they have their own little update guide they have their own little update guide they have their own little update guide right here. You can wait around a little right here. You can wait around a little right here. You can wait around a little bit for them to actually release 33 bit for them to actually release 33 bit for them to actually release 33 properly and get updated that way. But properly and get updated that way. But properly and get updated that way. But if you're impatient like me and you want if you're impatient like me and you want if you're impatient like me and you want to run it now, you're going to have to to run it now, you're going to have to to run it now, you're going to have to switch to the beta channel. So what I'm switch to the beta channel. So what I'm switch to the beta channel. So what I'm going to do is open up a terminal here going to do is open up a terminal here going to do is open up a terminal here and actually SSH into the VM that I have and actually SSH into the VM that I have and actually SSH into the VM that I have a Nextcloud all-in-one running on, just a Nextcloud all-in-one running on, just a Nextcloud all-in-one running on, just like so. We're going to say yes, type in like so. We're going to say yes, type in like so. We're going to say yes, type in my password, and we're in. So first, my password, and we're in. So first, my password, and we're in. So first, it's suggesting we go ahead and create a it's suggesting we go ahead and create a it's suggesting we go ahead and create a backup. Probably a good idea. So we are backup. Probably a good idea. So we are backup. Probably a good idea. So we are going to stop the container just like going to stop the container just like going to stop the container just like this. So that way I can actually access this. So that way I can actually access this. So that way I can actually access our kind of all-in-one management our kind of all-in-one management our kind of all-in-one management instance. So once that container stops, instance. So once that container stops, instance. So once that container stops, give this a refresh here, and we can give this a refresh here, and we can give this a refresh here, and we can sign in. What to do that, you're going sign in. What to do that, you're going sign in. What to do that, you're going to go down here to backup and restore, to go down here to backup and restore, to go down here to backup and restore, but I live on the edge, and I'm going to but I live on the edge, and I'm going to but I live on the edge, and I'm going to go ahead and go to the next step. Don't go ahead and go to the next step. Don't go ahead and go to the next step. Don't recommend you do that. But what we're recommend you do that. But what we're recommend you do that. But what we're going to want to do is actually execute going to want to do is actually execute going to want to do is actually execute into the all-in-one container. So just into the all-in-one container. So just into the all-in-one container. So just like this. And now that we are in, we like this. And now that we are in, we like this. And now that we are in, we are going to run this command right are going to run this command right are going to run this command right here, which is going to change a value here, which is going to change a value here, which is going to change a value in our PHP config file to change it to in our PHP config file to change it to in our PHP config file to change it to the beta release. So just like that. And the beta release. So just like that. And the beta release. So just like that. And then from there, we're going to run the then from there, we're going to run the then from there, we're going to run the update. So here, we're going to get this update. So here, we're going to get this update. So here, we're going to get this updated. So the current version, you updated. So the current version, you updated. So the current version, you could see was 32, but now it's going to could see was 32, but now it's going to could see was 32, but now it's going to be downloading 33.0, and it's just about be downloading 33.0, and it's just about be downloading 33.0, and it's just about finished up. Once that does finish, finished up. Once that does finish, finished up. Once that does finish, we're going to switch back to the stable

we're going to switch back to the stable we're going to switch back to the stable channel. It won't downgrade us, but channel. It won't downgrade us, but channel. It won't downgrade us, but it'll make it so it won't update to the it'll make it so it won't update to the it'll make it so it won't update to the next beta version again automatically. next beta version again automatically. next beta version again automatically. And there we go. The OCC upgrade is And there we go. The OCC upgrade is And there we go. The OCC upgrade is finished. So we're going to drop that finished. So we're going to drop that finished. So we're going to drop that into switch back to stable. We can use into switch back to stable. We can use into switch back to stable. We can use this command here to show the status. this command here to show the status. this command here to show the status. And then finally, we can exit out. So if And then finally, we can exit out. So if And then finally, we can exit out. So if I go back over here to my all-in-one I go back over here to my all-in-one I go back over here to my all-in-one instance, give it a refresh. So what I'm instance, give it a refresh. So what I'm instance, give it a refresh. So what I'm going to do is stop these containers going to do is stop these containers going to do is stop these containers real quick. And now we're going to do a real quick. And now we're going to do a real quick. And now we're going to do a Docker compose restart. So then we're Docker compose restart. So then we're Docker compose restart. So then we're going to restart that all-in-one master going to restart that all-in-one master going to restart that all-in-one master container. And now if I refresh this, container. And now if I refresh this, container. And now if I refresh this, and then start up our containers, it's and then start up our containers, it's and then start up our containers, it's going to pull all those images. One going to pull all those images. One going to pull all those images. One thing that I do like that I haven't thing that I do like that I haven't thing that I do like that I haven't really touched on is down here, they really touched on is down here, they really touched on is down here, they make it really easy to select between make it really easy to select between make it really easy to select between Nextcloud Office and OnlyOffice, which Nextcloud Office and OnlyOffice, which Nextcloud Office and OnlyOffice, which is cool that they actually did that. But is cool that they actually did that. But is cool that they actually did that. But it looks like all of our containers are it looks like all of our containers are it looks like all of our containers are running. So let's go over here, give it running. So let's go over here, give it running. So let's go over here, give it a little refresh. You could see we're a little refresh. You could see we're a little refresh. You could see we're now on the version 33. Everything seems now on the version 33. Everything seems now on the version 33. Everything seems to be looking good. Nice. So now let's to be looking good. Nice. So now let's to be looking good. Nice. So now let's get into what has actually changed in get into what has actually changed in get into what has actually changed in this release. And I want to start with this release. And I want to start with this release. And I want to start with the big one to me, and that is the Ada the big one to me, and that is the Ada the big one to me, and that is the Ada engine right here. This is the headliner engine right here. This is the headliner engine right here. This is the headliner and probably the big thing that most and probably the big thing that most and probably the big thing that most people are actually going to feel. This people are actually going to feel. This people are actually going to feel. This is their new Ada engine. And it's a is their new Ada engine. And it's a is their new Ada engine. And it's a pretty significant rewrite of how pretty significant rewrite of how pretty significant rewrite of how Nextcloud actually accesses files under Nextcloud actually accesses files under Nextcloud actually accesses files under the hood. Now, they rewrote the core the hood. Now, they rewrote the core the hood. Now, they rewrote the core file access layer using PHP, Rust, and file access layer using PHP, Rust, and file access layer using PHP, Rust, and Go. What's kind of cool, they named it Go. What's kind of cool, they named it Go. What's kind of cool, they named it after Ada Lovelace, the uh mathematician after Ada Lovelace, the uh mathematician after Ada Lovelace, the uh mathematician who often is considered the first who often is considered the first who often is considered the first computer programmer, which is a nice computer programmer, which is a nice computer programmer, which is a nice touch. So what does this actually mean

touch. So what does this actually mean touch. So what does this actually mean in practice? A few things. Photo preview in practice? A few things. Photo preview in practice? A few things. Photo preview generation uses 40 to 90% fewer generation uses 40 to 90% fewer generation uses 40 to 90% fewer resources. And if you're on a larger resources. And if you're on a larger resources. And if you're on a larger instance of Nextcloud that has like S3 instance of Nextcloud that has like S3 instance of Nextcloud that has like S3 object storage, files and previews can object storage, files and previews can object storage, files and previews can be downloaded directly without routing be downloaded directly without routing be downloaded directly without routing through the PHP layer, which is a big through the PHP layer, which is a big through the PHP layer, which is a big deal for bigger deployments. Which this deal for bigger deployments. Which this deal for bigger deployments. Which this paired with the other performance kind paired with the other performance kind paired with the other performance kind of improvements in the last few hub of improvements in the last few hub of improvements in the last few hub releases has really made it just a releases has really made it just a releases has really made it just a wonderful platform to work with. In some wonderful platform to work with. In some wonderful platform to work with. In some of their own independent testing, of their own independent testing, of their own independent testing, downloading like a smaller 10 MB file downloading like a smaller 10 MB file downloading like a smaller 10 MB file went from taking around like 2 seconds went from taking around like 2 seconds went from taking around like 2 seconds to like 0.4 seconds. Now, another thing to like 0.4 seconds. Now, another thing to like 0.4 seconds. Now, another thing that is actually standing out is the that is actually standing out is the that is actually standing out is the federation. Federation is something that federation. Federation is something that federation. Federation is something that makes Nextcloud completely different makes Nextcloud completely different makes Nextcloud completely different from a lot of the other platforms and from a lot of the other platforms and from a lot of the other platforms and solutions in kind of the similar space. solutions in kind of the similar space. solutions in kind of the similar space. And federation just basically means that And federation just basically means that And federation just basically means that you can connect to different Nextcloud you can connect to different Nextcloud you can connect to different Nextcloud instances to each other. An example of instances to each other. An example of instances to each other. An example of another thing that is federated is another thing that is federated is another thing that is federated is something like Mastodon, as you can have something like Mastodon, as you can have something like Mastodon, as you can have a bunch of different instances and a bunch of different instances and a bunch of different instances and separate Mastodon-running websites, but separate Mastodon-running websites, but separate Mastodon-running websites, but they can still connect to each other.

they can still connect to each other. they can still connect to each other. And in Hub 26, they expanded that to And in Hub 26, they expanded that to And in Hub 26, they expanded that to include Deck, their little Kanban include Deck, their little Kanban include Deck, their little Kanban project management thing, a calendar, project management thing, a calendar, project management thing, a calendar, and teams. So that way you can share and teams. So that way you can share and teams. So that way you can share your deck with somebody from a different your deck with somebody from a different your deck with somebody from a different organization, on a different Nextcloud organization, on a different Nextcloud organization, on a different Nextcloud instance, browse it, add cards, create instance, browse it, add cards, create instance, browse it, add cards, create stacks, and so on. Calendar federation stacks, and so on. Calendar federation stacks, and so on. Calendar federation allows you to share calendars across allows you to share calendars across allows you to share calendars across servers for cross-team planning. And servers for cross-team planning. And servers for cross-team planning. And teams, which are basically group teams, which are basically group teams, which are basically group collections in Nextcloud, now include collections in Nextcloud, now include collections in Nextcloud, now include people from different instances, which people from different instances, which people from different instances, which is nice. And it works pretty cool. It's is nice. And it works pretty cool. It's is nice. And it works pretty cool. It's not like all Nextcloud instances are not like all Nextcloud instances are not like all Nextcloud instances are automatically connected to each other. automatically connected to each other. automatically connected to each other. If I go over here to my administrative If I go over here to my administrative If I go over here to my administrative settings, and then we go down to the settings, and then we go down to the settings, and then we go down to the sharing setting, which is right here, sharing setting, which is right here, sharing setting, which is right here, and then scroll down, you will be able and then scroll down, you will be able and then scroll down, you will be able to see the federated cloud sharing right to see the federated cloud sharing right to see the federated cloud sharing right here, trusted servers. So this is where here, trusted servers. So this is where here, trusted servers. So this is where you add other Nextcloud instances that you add other Nextcloud instances that you add other Nextcloud instances that you can communicate with. What they also you can communicate with. What they also you can communicate with. What they also added the file locking support in added the file locking support in added the file locking support in federated sharing, which closes a gap federated sharing, which closes a gap federated sharing, which closes a gap here. If you and somebody from another here. If you and somebody from another here. If you and somebody from another organization are collaborating on the organization are collaborating on the organization are collaborating on the same file, you can now lock it to same file, you can now lock it to same file, you can now lock it to prevent conflicts. And another big one prevent conflicts. And another big one prevent conflicts. And another big one is going to be data migration. Easily is going to be data migration. Easily is going to be data migration. Easily migrate, export, import data here. And migrate, export, import data here. And migrate, export, import data here. And this is something that I've seen quite a this is something that I've seen quite a this is something that I've seen quite a bit with people complaining on like bit with people complaining on like bit with people complaining on like forums who use a managed instance of forums who use a managed instance of forums who use a managed instance of Nextcloud with some hosting provider, Nextcloud with some hosting provider, Nextcloud with some hosting provider, them not being able to easily take their them not being able to easily take their them not being able to easily take their data out and move it around. This solves data out and move it around. This solves data out and move it around. This solves that, as you can now import export your that, as you can now import export your that, as you can now import export your data across Nextcloud instances, and data across Nextcloud instances, and data across Nextcloud instances, and coverage is a lot more complete now.

coverage is a lot more complete now. coverage is a lot more complete now. Mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and Mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and Mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and deck are all included. So if you want to deck are all included. So if you want to deck are all included. So if you want to move from one hosting provider to move from one hosting provider to move from one hosting provider to another, you're setting up your own, another, you're setting up your own, another, you're setting up your own, you're just doing some kind of you're just doing some kind of you're just doing some kind of migration, it is a much cleaner process. migration, it is a much cleaner process. migration, it is a much cleaner process. And then we got to talk about Nextcloud And then we got to talk about Nextcloud And then we got to talk about Nextcloud talk. This feature I personally don't talk. This feature I personally don't talk. This feature I personally don't really use too often, but I see the really use too often, but I see the really use too often, but I see the value for sure. All the teams I work value for sure. All the teams I work value for sure. All the teams I work with, unfortunately, use either like with, unfortunately, use either like with, unfortunately, use either like Google Meet or Slack. I hate it. Google Meet or Slack. I hate it. Google Meet or Slack. I hate it. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> But here, there's a solid list of >> But here, there's a solid list of >> But here, there's a solid list of changes. We have pinning, scheduling, changes. We have pinning, scheduling, changes. We have pinning, scheduling, and more. So you can now pin messages in and more. So you can now pin messages in and more. So you can now pin messages in a group conversation. This is something a group conversation. This is something a group conversation. This is something that pretty much every other chat that pretty much every other chat that pretty much every other chat application has, and it's it's finally application has, and it's it's finally application has, and it's it's finally here in talk. You can set a auto timer, here in talk. You can set a auto timer, here in talk. You can set a auto timer, which is cool, to unpin the message which is cool, to unpin the message which is cool, to unpin the message later on. And you can browse all the later on. And you can browse all the later on. And you can browse all the pinned messages in the sidebar. Really pinned messages in the sidebar. Really pinned messages in the sidebar. Really good for announcements, reminders, or good for announcements, reminders, or good for announcements, reminders, or links that you don't want to get buried. links that you don't want to get buried. links that you don't want to get buried. They've also added scheduled messaging, They've also added scheduled messaging, They've also added scheduled messaging, so you can go ahead and draft a message, so you can go ahead and draft a message, so you can go ahead and draft a message, send it at a specific time. So if you're send it at a specific time. So if you're send it at a specific time. So if you're the kind of person that like writes the kind of person that like writes the kind of person that like writes things out at night, doesn't want to things out at night, doesn't want to things out at night, doesn't want to ping your team with something, you can ping your team with something, you can ping your team with something, you can schedule it to send it in the morning. schedule it to send it in the morning. schedule it to send it in the morning. Another thing you can see here in this Another thing you can see here in this Another thing you can see here in this picture is the split message bubbles. So picture is the split message bubbles. So picture is the split message bubbles. So your messages will show up on the right your messages will show up on the right your messages will show up on the right side, similar to like iMessage, side, similar to like iMessage, side, similar to like iMessage, WhatsApp. It's optional, but people will WhatsApp. It's optional, but people will WhatsApp. It's optional, but people will probably enable that. On the actual call probably enable that. On the actual call probably enable that. On the actual call side, live transcription now supports side, live transcription now supports side, live transcription now supports translations. So if you're in a meeting translations. So if you're in a meeting translations. So if you're in a meeting with people, they start speaking with people, they start speaking with people, they start speaking different languages, you could get different languages, you could get different languages, you could get real-time translations. It's powered by real-time translations. It's powered by real-time translations. It's powered by AI. You have to enable it, but if you're AI. You have to enable it, but if you're AI. You have to enable it, but if you're somebody who works with international somebody who works with international somebody who works with international teams, it's a must-have. And audio teams, it's a must-have. And audio teams, it's a must-have. And audio options have been expanded, so now you options have been expanded, so now you options have been expanded, so now you can turn on auto gain, echo can turn on auto gain, echo can turn on auto gain, echo cancellation, noise suppression as cancellation, noise suppression as cancellation, noise suppression as opt-in settings, which is nice. And the

opt-in settings, which is nice. And the opt-in settings, which is nice.
