Duplicate of #2494

News 24.x does not support Nextcloud 28, the app also does not claim to support Nextcloud 28.
On the app store you will see that the latest supported version of Nextcloud is 28, but the app store includes all per-releases for that information.

You probably force-enabled News at some point.

If you want you can upgrade to the latest alpha release of News 25.0.0-alphaX. That version includes a major re-write of the UI. Unfortunately that version is not yet feature complete see #2503. There is no roadmap and no ETA. News is not supported by the Nextcloud company but a comunity project.

To upgrade to News 25.0.0-alphaX you can choose one of the options below.

  1. Use command line occ to install the alpha
    1.1 sudo -u www-data php ./occ app:update news --allow-unstable (adjust command according to your setup)
  2. Set the update channel in the Admin settings for Nextcloud to beta and wait until the update for News is offered in the webinterface
  3. Do it manually, download release, replace files, trigger upgrade via occ

Ah my bad, thanks for the explanation! I checked the last issues and couldn't find one that fit the description (apparently because they were closed already), but now I see there are already multiple ones, should have looked deeper. I rarely login as admin, so I didn't force-enable this time around, so not sure what happened there. Either way, thanks for your efforts and work!

If I'm right nextcloud remembers if you force enable an app, it writes the app name to a list in the config.php file. So it could be from long ago.

@Grotax Any chance those options can be added somewhere in the readme or pinned issue? That is the best upgrade path I have seen. Thanks for that!

I installed the alpha version, but still get a 404 error in the android app. Is this a missing feature in the alpha version or should I open an issue over at the android app repo?

@SMillerDev

I don't think anyone had any issue with a 404. So that sounds like something that would be good to report to the android app for sure

@bodograumann

Ugh, it was my own stupidity. After force-installing the app as unsupported version, I also had to activate it explicitely again. 🤦
Now it works fine afaict :-)

Using "sudo -u www-data php ./occ app:update news --allow-unstable" to update, will we have to do this frequently to stay up to date, or will it auto update the alpha once it is installed?

LMRW commented May 31, 2024

If someone mostly uses a 3rd party client app (I use Lire) is it safe to use nextcloud news within nextcloud 28? As I won't need the web UI, I just want the client apps I use to continue to be served

Thank you too for nextcloud news

It's one of the most interesting apps

I really appreciate it

Thank you I upgraded to the alpha, it's so much faster now, it's visibly so quick! Great results so far. Thank you.

@Grotax,

Yes you can update to the latest alpha.

thanks for the info...

"Nextcloud News" is a great app and definitely in my personal favs list. News works fine in Nextcloud snap with some minor caveats in the interface and perfectly with the Android client.

sudo nextcloud.occ app:update --allow-unstable news enables upgrading to alpha. Can you explain how we'd be getting back to "stable" once released... or is that automatic? see nextcloud-snap/nextcloud-snap#2758 (comment)

thanks for a great app

Once we release a stable version you will be able to upgrade to that and nextcloud will notify you.

@Grotax, working like a charm in Nextcloud snap vs. 29.02.1

there is an issue with autopdating feeds, somehow cron is ignored although cron is active:

so it requires manual refresh to update the feeds when using the browser interface. the Android client is updating fine though.

Grotax commented Jun 20, 2024

You mean that the feed items in the browser are not updated?

But the android app is getting updates.
That means cron is working.

Not sure what the issue of the web app is.

Ah ok so cron does actually stop working and then no cron job is running anymore. Therefore the News web and all clients don't get updates.

That's the opposite of what I understood before.

See #2693

@Grotax looks like this may solve the issue:

cron not working after upgrade to 29.02.1

new version of fulltextsearch available vs. 29.0.0

@Grotax, thanks for your patience... I've had some time to sort things out.

Ah ok so cron does actually stop working and then no cron job is running anymore. Therefore the News web and all clients don't get updates.

yes, cron had stopped working (my watcher script obviously sucks) cron not working after upgrade to 29.02.1 #2793 but I got that sorted by disabling and removing FTS.

this issue with autoupdating the feeds in the browser (FF, EDGE, CHROMIUM) still remains though

there is an issue with autopdating feeds, ....

strangely the android news app works fine and shows updated feeds icon immediately. yet the feeds aren't visible in the browser sidebar until the site is refreshed manually:

now I've been watching this thread and see no mention of other folks having the same issue. is it just me or can you confirm this?

I think the old UI never auto updated either, that's probably why nobody mentioned it as a bug.

@SMillerDev, thanks for you reply.

I can't confirm that... it always updated for me. I usually have the news feeds app open in a browser tab waiting for github RSS issue feeds...

see no mention of other folks having the same issue
