Question about Upgrade from UCS-4 to UCS5

UCS - Univention Corporate Server
,
#1

I have made extensive test on UCS 5 and UCS-5 looks ready for prod, at least for new installations. but … I am a bit surprised to see an upgrade proposition in my ucs-4 servers, because UCS-5 is absolutely not ready to replace existing UCS-4 regarding app availability.

Or should you noisily alert all UCS upgrade about compatibility in the app center, or regarding installed app in previous UCS-4.

Some essential APP have comme later like NextCloud, but there is essential app like Nagios, Kopano, openExchange,

I have made a diff regarding app availability between ucs4 and ucs5 and I feel scary by the lost of all these app:

< webuntis

< zimbra
< zuludesk

even in dev-test-mode lots are not installable. impossible for me to install letsencrypt for instance. So I am really not sure if installed UCS-4 server are ready to migrate with this lack of apps.

Could you please provide clear instruction on what are optimal conditions for migrating UCS-4 to UCS-5

I tried to upgrade my test UCS4 VM to UCS5 and it failed with only the self service and ucs mail components installed. I had to manually remove some things to even get it to finish the upgrade, but after it was done the self service components were not installed properly and I haven’t been able to fix it by manually uninstalling the packages either.

Right now I would not recommend the upgrade for anyone personally. It seems to me that a new install with a migration might be the only viable option currently, and that’s assuming you are only using UCS 5 supported apps on your existing server.

I have an image of my test UCS4 server so I plan on testing the upgrade again after some further refinement is done on UCS 5. Hopefully the upgrade issues can be worked out.

But < letsencrypt is working with UCS 5.0 have tested that.

letsencrypt is present in the app center, but I can not reach install page. every time I try to install it, its ends in a non-responsive page. (app center page with central gif rolling, with no response, I can’t even not reach install page). Others packages install successfully, or at least I can reach the install page. I have made 2 distinct install of ucs-5 and see the same problem with letsencrypt.

UCS 5 I can't install an application from App Center
