NextCloud: Web interface is unreachable after Update

Grapple · April 19, 2025, 6:57am

Recently I did the 28.0.14~1 update and since then the NextCloud instance is borked.
When I open the web interface it always shows the Maintenance Screen (couple of weeks now).
I tried the " Disable Maintenance Mode" and that results in a screen that shows:
" Update needed"
Please use the command line updates because updating via browser is disabled in your config.php.
For help, see documentation

Some logs:

StuPleb · April 19, 2025, 12:47pm

From your description, since 28.0.14~1 hasn’t been out for the couple of weeks you say you’ve had the problem, I think what you actually did was…

Upgraded to 28.0.14 – upgrade failed and error started
Later upgraded to 28.0.14~1 and the error wasn’t fixed

I think you’ll next need to make sure you have SSH set up so you can access the command line. To do that, follow this guide here: Start9 | Using SSH

When ready, this is the plan…

The fix for users with a broken 28.0.14 installation is:

SSH into the server.
Exec into the nextcloud container (nextcloud needs to be running)

sudo podman exec -it nextcloud.embassy bash

Disable non-default apps by running this command from within the NC container:

sudo podman exec -it nextcloud.embassy bash nextcloud:/var/www/html# declare -A default_map; default_apps=('activity' 'calendar' 'circles' 'cloud_federation_api' 'comments' 'contacts' 'contactsinteraction' 'dashboard' 'dav' 'federatedfilesharing' 'federation' 'files' 'files_pdfviewer' 'files_reminders' 'files_rightclick' 'files_sharing' 'files_trashbin' 'files_versions' 'firstrunwizard' 'logreader' 'lookup_server_connector' 'nextcloud_announcements' 'notifications' 'oauth2' 'password_policy' 'photos' 'privacy' 'provisioning_api' 'recommendations' 'related_resources' 'serverinfo' 'settings' 'sharebymail' 'support' 'survey_client' 'systemtags' 'text' 'theming' 'twofactor_backupcodes' 'updatenotification' 'user_status' 'viewer' 'weather_status' 'workflowengine'); for app in "${default_apps[@]}"; do default_map["$app"]=1; done; enabled_apps=($(sudo -u www-data -E php /var/www/html/occ app:list | awk '/^Enabled:/ {f=1; next} /^Disabled:/ {f=0} f && /^[[:space:]]+-/ {sub(/:$/, "", $2); print $2}')); for enabled_app in "${enabled_apps[@]}"; do if [[ -z "${default_map[$enabled_app]}" ]]; then echo "Disabling non-default app: $enabled_app"; sudo -u www-data -E php /var/www/html/occ app:disable $enabled_app; fi; done

The user should see an output like this:

Disabling non-default app: mail
mail 3.7.24 disabled
Disabling non-default app: richdocuments
richdocuments 8.3.13 disabled
Disabling non-default app: richdocumentscode
richdocumentscode 24.4.1302 disabled

The nextcloud server should now be accessible in the UI (no need to restart).

I managed to get in with SSH and Exec into the next cloud container by

sudo podman exec -it nextcloud.embassy bash

And than disable non default apps by running this command:

declare -A default_map; default_apps=('activity' 'calendar' 'circles' 'cloud_federation_api' 'comments' 'contacts' 'contactsinteraction' 'dashboard' 'dav' 'federatedfilesharing' 'federation' 'files' 'files_pdfviewer' 'files_reminders' 'files_rightclick' 'files_sharing' 'files_trashbin' 'files_versions' 'firstrunwizard' 'logreader' 'lookup_server_connector' 'nextcloud_announcements' 'notifications' 'oauth2' 'password_policy' 'photos' 'privacy' 'provisioning_api' 'recommendations' 'related_resources' 'serverinfo' 'settings' 'sharebymail' 'support' 'survey_client' 'systemtags' 'text' 'theming' 'twofactor_backupcodes' 'updatenotification' 'user_status' 'viewer' 'weather_status' 'workflowengine'); for app in "${default_apps[@]}"; do default_map["$app"]=1; done; enabled_apps=($(sudo -u www-data -E php /var/www/html/occ app:list | awk '/^Enabled:/ {f=1; next} /^Disabled:/ {f=0} f && /^[[:space:]]+-/ {sub(/:$/, "", $2); print $2}')); for enabled_app in "${enabled_apps[@]}"; do if [[ -z "${default_map[$enabled_app]}" ]]; then echo "Disabling non-default app: $enabled_app"; sudo -u www-data -E php /var/www/html/occ app:disable $enabled_app; fi; done

The output in the NC container is this:

Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade
nextcloud:/var/www/html#

But I still see the Upgrade Required screen on the Web UI

You haven’t replied to any of my suggested possibilities at to how you got into this state, which is something we’d need to understand in order to formulate an approach.

If you need to, you could restore from a recent backup and then upgrade again.

Grapple · April 28, 2025, 1:05pm

Hi @StuPleb , I have not done anything special. I access my server on a almost daily basis to see if there are service updates and if there are I will press the update button. I have not done anything else. I use Nextcloud only for syncing to dos and one other productivity app that uses the nextcloud storage to sync.
I see someone else has a similar issue. I tried to disable maintenance mode this morning and I now see the screen below. Also did the latest update (29.0.14~1) but that did not resolve the issue either.

Tried a hard refresh as well, still the same.

I’m seeing these error in the logs

Found something similar
[Bug]: Upgrade FAILED: ERROR: column “type” does not exist at character 45 · Issue #46879 · nextcloud/server

Grapple · April 28, 2025, 3:25pm

I have tried to uninstall and recover a backup but that backup already had the same issue, I did not see an option to recover any earlier backups.
I know there are probably some other ways to recover my data using SSH but I accepted the data loss and have decided to uninstall Nextcloud and start from scratch by installing it again.

Good to know is that you should not do a backup if the service is borked because than you can’t recover from a backup anymore.

Happy to hear how this can be resolved in the future (recovering a bricked Nextcloud service)

StuPleb · April 28, 2025, 6:59pm

Sorry for my delay in getting back to you. I’m convinced that this is an issue with one of the installed apps. There are likely ways to recover from this state. The first thing I’d have recommended was to use the v29 action in Nextcloud → Actions in StartOS to disable anything and see if that helps.

Some research online did reveal some similar situations.

Yes… if a service is borked, don’t back it up in the borked state. Your backup will then be of that borked state.

Ultimately the files are still in that backup and can be accessed via command line tools.

Grapple · April 29, 2025, 10:26am

No worries, I did not have a lot of data in there. I think I did the backup when i did not realize there was a problem. Would be a nice feature to have more than 1 backups per service at some point.
