Upgrade from 4.4-8 to 5.0-0 fails due to appliance.json

#1

Hey everyone,
Looking for some guidance on this as trying to push the update.
OwnCloud is the only app package running on the server, running the latest release 10.7.0; which is supported for UCS 5.0-0

The system can not be updated to UCS 5.0 due to the following reasons:

python_ucr_template_compatibility:
The following UCR templates are not compatible with Python 3:
/etc/univention/templates/files/usr/share/univention-web/js/umc/hooks/appliance.json (package: univention-app-appliance)

Well, no response to your problem :frowning: (having same/similar). I will try to dig a bit…

Same problem here too!

#4

Please check UCS 5 : troubles upgrading from 4.4.8 errata1036 - univention-web UCR template not compatbile with Python3? - #3 by sandie

I am successfully running 5.0.0 now :slight_smile:

I think Univention people are smart a*ses and their software is great although with minor, unpolished flaws :slight_smile:

Wget should be the answer here!

Thanks for the direction @sandie

Kinda frustrating that it took 6 months to get a solution, I appreciate your direction to a resolution.
Didn’t have the DHCP issue myself, but the wget python fix worked wonders.!

Hi,

it took me a while with „no pressure”, as I am not running anything important / mission critical (I would buy a license if I did)
I have learned a bit about ucr and I generally like the idea of how the system they built.
Generally speaking we should not expect that somebody will help us, because we? (me at least) did not pay eurocent for the software.

Univention should have an option to support them with lower amounts than regular license. I am generally happy of OwnCloud appliance and would like to show my appreciation to them.

I think we should not complain much - they did their job pretty well. Maybe some minor things are unpolished, but I am dev by heart so I know that things break easily sometimes…
