I have an owncloud instance and want to migrate to nextcloud. Just wanted to know if you have ubuntu/debian ppa like owncloud? I have very little experience with PHP and don't want to install it from source.
Probably the easiest way in your case is to backup the config folder and your data folder, then uninstall the ownCloud packages and install PHP/Apache yourself. Then simply put our newest release into the web root and copy your old config there as well. If you need more help on that I'm sure we have many people in our forums willing to help :)
So what we're focusing on is providing an easy and reliable updater (just like Wordpress does) instead of distribution packages.
Migrating is described at https://nextcloud.com/migration/ and we also have a help topic in our forums: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/migrating-from-owncloud-to-next...
