Upgrade FileCloud on Linux

If you have folder-level security (granular folder permissions) enabled in Settings > Misc > General, changes in functionality will significantly impact the way existing share behavior works when you upgrade from versions below 23.1 to FileCloud 23.x and higher. If you have granular folder permissions set, please contact FileCloud Support before upgrading to FileCloud 23.x and higher to avoid share and file access issues.

Beginning with version 23.1, Linux installation and upgrades have switched to a new repository-based system, and FileCloud no longer supports Ubuntu 18.04/20.04, CentOS 7/RHEL 7 and RHEL 8. In addition, FileCloud no longer supports Debian. If you are using any of those OS versions, please migrate to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or RHEL 9.

Since support for OpenSSL 1.1.1 ends on September 11, 2023, FileCloud 23.1 uses OpenSSL 3.0. which is not available for previous Linux versions, and therefore FileCloud requires installation or update to the Linux versions listed above.

If you are using native LDAP for authentication and using non-TLS connections set the LDAP Host value to ldap://hostname. Older FileCloud versions supported host value without the protocol definition ldap://

MongoDB 6 requires use of the AVX instruction set, which is available on select Intel and AMD processors.
If your CPU doesn't have the AVX instruction set, MongoDB 6 will not run. 

To check whether your CPU has the instruction set, run:

#lscpu | grep -i avx"

Note: FIPS 140-3 modules are still in review for Ubuntu 22.04 and RHEL 9.
If you want to install FileCloud with FIPS, please wait until the OS vendors officially announce they are supporting FIPS.
