Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/4/c/d/?] (c):

That is absolutely correct. Nextcloud 23 is not compatible with php >= 8.1 The official documentation refers to php 7.3 - 8.0. This also correctly reflects the nextcloud.spec. And a, in my opinion unnecessary, issue on github also shows that nextcloud does not work with php 8.1. You have to use solution1 o install php 8.0 from other repos if you want nextcloud to run.

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/php:/php80/open... If you add this, you'll be able to keep using PHP-8.0. This will be maintained by the PHP maintainers as long as upstream provides updates. See https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php for a list of supported PHP versions and a timeline.

I've tried this.

zypper dup then asked for at least 10 or 15 php packages repo vendor changes from "Opensuse:Factory" ->  "php 8.0 (openSUSE_Factory)", which I did until being stuck on:

Problem: the to be installed php8-mysql-8.1.2-1.1.x86_64 requires 'php-pdo = 8.1.2', but this requirement cannot be provided   not installable providers: php8-pdo-8.1.2-1.1.i586[http-download.opensuse.org-ade0eb17] php8-pdo-8.1.2-1.1.x86_64[http-download.opensuse.org-ade0eb17]                    php8-pdo-8.1.2-1.1.i586[repo-oss]                    php8-pdo-8.1.2-1.1.x86_64[repo-oss]  Solution 1: do not install php8-zip-8.0.15-8.1.x86_64  Solution 2: break php8-mysql-8.1.2-1.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies.

The very first choice I made that lead to situation above, was Solution 3:

You should switch all packages in one go: # zypper dup --allow-vendor-change --repo devel_languages_php_php80

Thanks. I did this and it completed successfully, then 'zypper dup' resulted in:

2 Problems: Problem: the to be installed php8-APCu-5.1.21-1.3.x86_64 requires 'php(api) = 20210902', but this requirement cannot be provided Problem: the to be installed php8-imagick-3.7.0-1.2.x86_64 requires 'php(api) = 20210902', but this requirement cannot be provided

both php8-APCu and php8-imagick are recommended by nextcloud (and not used by another package) so I removed them and then dup worked. Still mentioning this for completeness.

Here you can see for what you need apcu and imagick: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_in... Regards Eric

That was to be expected, as these extensions are build against the PHP version in Factory, which currently is at php(api) = 20210902 (PHP 8.1) and not php(api) = 20200930 (PHP 8.0). This would require a rebuild against the PHP 8.0. At the moment, these packages can still be downloaded from https://download.opensuse.org/history/20220201/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/ so if you need them, you might install them from there. This is an interim solution at best, the fix should really come from the upstream nextcloud developers. We run into this almost every year when the next major PHP version is released. The upstream nextcloud developers seem to start making adjustments when the next stable PHP version is released (and things break), rather than when the first alpha PHP version is released (and be prepared for the API changes). There is really nothing the openSUSE packagers/maintainters can do about this.
