php smb client for nextcloud external storage

[gdh]

hi folks,

would like to use an nfs share from a server for nextcloud on centos8 stream.

nextcloud give me an indication, that it is currently not possible due to missing smb client. the usual smb client is instaled, so I assume it is talking about php smb client.

but how do I install it? i only found outdated (seems like) packages.

any idea?

Usually, additional PHP extension are available in EPEL

But for 8, EPEL is blocked by infrastructure issue 75

So for now, you have to build from sources or use my repository.
