Available applications in UCS 5.2

[jlk]

Hey,

let me answer the both of you separately:

@ascadm

However, when I try to update from 5.1 to 5.2, I get the following error message:

The system can not be updated to UCS 5.2 due to the following reasons:

blocking_apps:
The update to 5.2 is currently not possible,
because the following Apps are not available for UCS 5.2:

• DHCP server
• Let’s Encrypt
• Active Directory-compatible Domain Controller
• Self Service
• Self Service Backend

I find this very surprising, because it is not mentioned in the release notes of UCS 5.2 that these applications are not available.

Indeed, that should not be the case - These apps are in fact released for UCS 5.2 (as it can be seen in the screenshot of @getcom ), so this sounds like a bug to me. Could you run univention-app update and retry the update process?

@getcom

What I`m missing is Nextcloud and Open-Xchange.
I installed a fresh server for a new customer and this limited choice was surprisingly for me.
Is there a chance to get this in the near future or should I setup additional VMs & container for that (Galera Cluster, OX Appsuite 8, NC)?

Most apps, specifically the two mentioned, are developed and maintained by a third-party, not Univention, so our usual challenge is that we cannot force an update for these apps - Nonetheless we are of course in contact with our app providers to ensure that new versions for UCS 5.2 are released as soon as possible and for most often-used apps I expect updates rather sooner than later.

Regarding Nextcloud and Open-Xchange: For the former I’d like to refer to a comment made by my colleague @Steuwer in another thread:

@Steuwer

Nextcloud is working on providing the Nextcloud Hub App for UCS 5.2, the current status can be found here: Keycloak compatibility needed for UCS 5.2 · Issue #204 · nextcloud/univention-app · GitHub

Furthermore I am currently talking to Open-Xchange to coordinate the update of the OX AppSuite. Nonetheless it would be advisable to look into a separate installation in order to prepare for OX 8, which might not be installable as an app on UCS anymore due to technical reasons.
