-          Unfortunately Nextcloud appears to be very stateful when it
-          comes to managing its own configuration. The config file lives

-          (by default
-          <literal>/var/lib/nextcloud/config/config.php</literal>) and
-          is also used to track several states of the application (e.g.,
-          whether installed or not).

-        <para>
-          All configuration parameters are also stored in

-          ensure that all values from <filename>config.php</filename>
-          can be modified by the module. However
-          <filename>config.php</filename> manages the application’s

-          Nextcloud doesn’t allow to move more than one major-version

-          upgrade to <literal>v18</literal>, you need to upgrade to
-          <literal>v17</literal> first. This is ensured automatically as
-          long as the
-          <link linkend="opt-system.stateVersion">stateVersion</link> is
-          declared properly. In that case the oldest version available
-          (one major behind the one from the previous NixOS release)
-          will be selected by default and the module will generate a
-          warning that reminds the user to upgrade to latest Nextcloud
-          <emphasis>after</emphasis> that deploy.

-          This error usually occurs if the initial installation

-          failed. After that, the application is not installed, but the
-          upgrade is attempted to be executed. Further context can be

-          First of all, it makes sense to find out what went wrong by

-              It’s advisable though to check the logs first on why the

-              This is the only time advisable because the fresh install

-    <title>Installing Apps and PHP extensions</title>
-    <para>
-      Nextcloud apps are installed statefully through the web interface.
-      Some apps may require extra PHP extensions to be installed. This
-      can be configured with the
-      <xref linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.phpExtraExtensions" />
-      setting.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Alternatively, extra apps can also be declared with the
-      <xref linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.extraApps" /> setting. When
-      using this setting, apps can no longer be managed statefully
-      because this can lead to Nextcloud updating apps that are managed
-      by Nix. If you want automatic updates it is recommended that you
-      use web interface to install apps.

-    <title>Maintainer information</title>
-    <para>
-      As stated in the previous paragraph, we must provide a clean
-      upgrade-path for Nextcloud since it cannot move more than one
-      major version forward on a single upgrade. This chapter adds some
-      notes how Nextcloud updates should be rolled out in the future.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      While minor and patch-level updates are no problem and can be done
-      directly in the package-expression (and should be backported to
-      supported stable branches after that), major-releases should be
-      added in a new attribute (e.g. Nextcloud
-      <literal>v19.0.0</literal> should be available in
-      <literal>nixpkgs</literal> as
-      <literal>pkgs.nextcloud19</literal>). To provide simple upgrade
-      paths it’s generally useful to backport those as well to stable
-      branches. As long as the package-default isn’t altered, this won’t
-      break existing setups. After that, the versioning-warning in the
-      <literal>nextcloud</literal>-module should be updated to make sure
-      that the
-      <link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.package">package</link>-option
-      selects the latest version on fresh setups.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      If major-releases will be abandoned by upstream, we should check
-      first if those are needed in NixOS for a safe upgrade-path before
-      removing those. In that case we should keep those packages, but
-      mark them as insecure in an expression like this (in
-      <literal>&lt;nixpkgs/pkgs/servers/nextcloud/default.nix&gt;</literal>):
-    </para>
-    <programlisting>

-    <para>
-      Ideally we should make sure that it’s possible to jump two NixOS
-      versions forward: i.e. the warnings and the logic in the module
-      should guard a user to upgrade from a Nextcloud on e.g. 19.09 to a
-      Nextcloud on 20.09.
