* ## Check for write permissions

The following places can not be written to:
* /usr/local/www/nextcloud/updater/../.htaccess

I can find where this is to fix it

next I get these

There are some warnings regarding your setup.

* PHP does not seem to be setup properly to query system environment variables. The test with getenv("PATH") only returns an empty response. Please check the [installation documentation ↗](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/17/go.php?to=admin-php-fpm) for PHP configuration notes and the PHP configuration of your server, especially when using php-fpm.
* MySQL is used as database but does not support 4-byte characters. To be able to handle 4-byte characters (like emojis) without issues in filenames or comments for example it is recommended to enable the 4-byte support in MySQL. For further details read [the documentation page about this](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/17/go.php?to=admin-mysql-utf8mb4).
* Accessing site insecurely via HTTP. You are strongly advised to set up your server to require HTTPS instead, as described in the [security tips ↗](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/17/go.php?to=admin-security).

For this one, you could move the .htaccess in a temporary location that is not within the nextcloud install folder.
Then you can perform the update and then move it back.[/QUOTE]

Don't use the plugin. @G8One2 has given you links to a good guide for manual installation. If you want something a bit more automatic, some brilliant member of the community has written a script to automate the whole process, including SSL with trusted certificates.

what about backup up the jails o moving the jails over

 

[garm]

Jails are volatile, just nuke it and create a new. Alternatively you can clone an existing jail and build on that.
