After Nextcloud Update to 20.0.8.1 config dialog appears

Apps & App Center
#1

Hi,

after upgrading from Nextcloud 20.0.? to 20.0.8.1, Nextcloud went into an “unconfigured” status and prompts me to enter config information like about my database if I open the web interface.

The “occ” tool also says Nextcloud is unconfigured:

# univention-app shell nextcloud sudo -u www-data /var/www/html/occ status
Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available
  - installed: false
  - version: 20.0.8.1
  - versionstring: 20.0.8
  - edition:

I’ve been using this installation for years and did several updates. How can I reconnect Nextcloud to the existing database & data?

Thanks!

findings so far:

  • the nextcloud docker container mounts the data and config directories “/var/lib/univention-appcenter/apps/nextcloud/…” but these are not used by Nextcloud
  • in /var/www/html default “data” and “config” directories with empty structures and examples existed, I moved them away and replaced them by symbolic links to “/var/lib/univention-appcenter/apps/nextcloud/config” and “/var/lib/univention-appcenter/apps/nextcloud/data/nextcloud-data”
  • I had to restore the config.php from my last backup
  • I had to run the Nextcloud upgrade procedure by calling “univention-app shell nextcloud sudo -u www-data /var/www/html/occ upgrade”

Looks like Nextcloud now is working fine. Will this survive the next upgrade?

Hi I can’t find a 20.0.8.1 version on UCS - did you upgrade the nextloud app through the nextcloud internal upgrade mechanism ? - If so you never ever should do this. - only way should go through UCS Software Upgrade mechanism

The version numbers are confusing…

I did the update using the Univention App Center UMC module. Versions now are:

  • univention-app info: nextcloud=20.0.8-0
  • # univention-app shell nextcloud sudo -u www-data /var/www/html/occ status
    • installed: true
    • version: 20.0.8.1
    • versionstring: 20.0.8
    • edition:
#5

Same output here, but here it is working fine.
