With a forced upgrade of my provider from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.1\u00a0 miniflux v1\u00a0 did not work anymore with Reeder 5<\/a>. After trying to\u00a0 correct all issues with phan, I decided to switch to a freshRSS<\/a> install that has even a more modern Google API.<\/p>\n

BTW I find it quite helpful to debug PHP 7.4 code by intentional throwing a javascript error to block any ongoing action with<\/p>\n

throw "SimulatedException"<\/pre>\n
and setting PHP more verbose with<\/p>\n
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT)<\/pre>\n
While it was quite straightforward to replace all “each” with “for each”, or “read_exif_date” with “exif_read_date” the main issue were unquoted “$_SERVER” variables and functions that need to be checked for missing variables<\/p>\n
$rows= (is_countable($ret) ? count($ret) : 0<\/pre>\n
The biggest problems came by Nextcloud update to version 25. It turns out that there is a file limit of 262.144 of my internet provider.<\/p>\n
Any Nextcloud update always needs about 30.000 files. Whenever it encounters any other error, a restart produces\u00a0 another 30.000 files, basically killing my account.<\/p>\n
In contrast to the documentation the issue is also not at the root nextcloud updater directory but in the data directory.<\/p>\n

superfluous Nextcloud backup files hiding in the data directory<\/dd>\n
