    Hello, i try to update my nextcloud instanz, but it failed:

    Check for write permissions
    The following places can not be written to:
    
        /app/code/updater/../COPYING
        /app/code/updater/../cron.php
        /app/code/updater/../occ
        /app/code/updater/../.user.ini
        /app/code/updater/../remote.php
        /app/code/updater/../robots.txt
        /app/code/updater/../version.php
        /app/code/updater/../console.php
        /app/code/updater/../public.php
        /app/code/updater/../status.php
        /app/code/updater/../index.php
        /app/code/updater/../index.html
        /app/code/updater/../AUTHORS
    

    chown -R www-data:www-data on /app/code/ doesn't change anything.

    Is there any solution for this?

      Can you try chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/ instead ?

      Er, hold on. Are you trying to update nextcloud from inside nextcloud?

        Your Nextcloud instance is only updated through Cloudron packages.

        /app/code/ is nerver writable and this is how it's meant to be. Go to the docs I linked above 🙂

          Ah okay, I thought so, but wanted to try my luck. Thanks for the enlightenment.

          But how can I install Nextcloud 25.x. to install? The latest versions are already being discussed here in the forum. Is there a beta program or something like that? I currently have 24.0.4

              @girish I'm still only offered 24.0.4, also in the App Store. I try to update to the latest cloudron version.

              EDIT: That seems to work.

                @girish said in Update failed: Check for write permissions:

                Only if you're on 7.3.x - that's why I previously updated to 7.3.2

                . I try to update to the latest cloudron version.

                Yep, that does it 🙂

                I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner
