Warning about 32-bit PHP, will this be an issue? #4

Closed ogressel closed 1 year ago

First of all, this is an amazing project. Thank you so much for sharing this solution!

I recently got this warning message:

It seems like you are running a 32-bit PHP version. Nextcloud needs 64-bit to run well. Please upgrade your OS and PHP to 64-bit! For further details read the documentation page about this ↗.

Will this be an issue, and if yes, how can I update to 64-bit PHP?

Hi @ogressel

The docker-compose file uses the linuxserver/nextcloud:latest image to build the nextcloud container. This should pull the correct image for your architecture.

I guess the hardware you are using has a 32-bit architecture. I think Nextcloud just performs better on x86-64 architectures.

The worst thing that could happen is, that Nextcloud drops support for 32-bit arch (not sure if they plan to). Good news, all your files are stored outside of the container (/share/Docker/nextcloud/data). So if Nextcloud (or linuxserver) drops support for 32-bit arch and you are not recieving updates for you Nextcloud instance, you should be able to get the data and migrate to another hardware.

Thanks for your reply. It appears 32-bit support for NextCloud will indeed run out with the next major version. I am so used to everything being x86_64 that I did not realize my QNAP hardware was not.
