NextBox OS Update: Ready for All Users

We are excited to announce that the latest NextBox OS update has successfully completed its testing phase and is now ready for all users. This update brings numerous improvements in terms of security, performance, and compatibility.

Testing Phase Completed

As many of you know, we initiated a testing phase for the OS update in our previous NextBox blog post. Your feedback and reports have been invaluable in ensuring a smooth and stable update process. The Nextcloud platform, which forms the core of NextBox, has proven its resilience throughout this process.

Update Process

We strongly recommend all users to update their NextBox. This gives you the opportunity to create manual backups and address any unforeseen issues that might arise. To update:

1. Go to the system settings in your NextBox app.
2. Navigate to the "NextBox System Update" section and click "Update" and follow the instructions.

The update will start automatically from there. No further interaction is required.

In approximately 4 weeks, we will automatically update any remaining NextBoxes that haven't been manually updated. This ensures all users benefit from the latest improvements and security enhancements.

Looking Ahead

With this update, we're not just maintaining NextBox; we're pushing it forward. Our commitment to providing a robust, open-source home server solution remains unwavering.

We're already looking ahead to future updates. As always, your ideas are crucial. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or via GitHub Issues. Your input directly shapes NextBox's future.
