@BhargavRJ said in Everytime Nextcloud breaks when it app is autoupdated by Cloudron itself:

Here, only thing I did new is, my nextcloud data is being stored at my NFS storage using volume option of cloudron. Can it create some issues?

Yes this might cause issues with permissions and such.
If this is the last thing you changed and then the issues started, you have your culprit.

[BrutalBirdie]

Great, https://docs.nextcloud.com/ is down right now.

[BhargavRJ]

I think I have found the culprit.

When I use my nfs volume for the data directory in Nextcloud, it breaks when it gets updated.

But it should not happen. It works perfectly fine otherwise with my nfs storage, but when I update it breaks.

I think it has something to do with Cloudron.

https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#data-directory says:

Add the external disk as a volume named seagate.

and

mountpoint and nfs volumes may or may not work depending on the destination filesystem.

But at the same time https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/#default-data-directory says:

Do not use a Cloudron Volume as storage location for the directories below. Set up fstab or systemd mount manually.

So that's about as clear as mud

@jdaviescoates The storage section page is meant for server directory configuration . I think that setup is quite geeky and people commonly make mistakes . I think we should remove it altogether cc @staff

@joseph Doing that will make Nextcloud almost useless in Cloudron. Already there is no 3rd party plugin support, no whiteboard support in cloudron. What if we want to use more storage with Nextcloud. It is all about storing our things when we want to use Nextcloud. Please implement some proper way to mount storage.

@BhargavRJ I am referring to the symlinking of the directories on the server and not the https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#data-directory feature . Don't think mounting storage will ever go away....

Please implement some proper way to mount storage.

This is already there since years . I think we have to figure why your nextcloud doesn't update properly. From the logs logs, it seems your nextcloud goes into maintanence mode. Did you happen to set this intentionally? Or maybe some plugin is setting this?

[BrutalBirdie]

@BhargavRJ can you 100 % confirm that the Nextcloud app upadte is working when not using an nfs volume mount?
I'd like to narrow down the real issues before the Cloudron Team is starting to debug the Nextcloud App (again).

And, please confirm that you are using the Cloudron Volume setting to add the nfs and that you configure the storage location in the app settings to move all app data to the volume.

Want to make 100 % sure you did not use some Nextcloud magic inside the app.

[BhargavRJ]

@joseph No I have not set it to maintenance mode and I have not plugin installed.

Just right now I received update notification in Nextcloud I updated it and it worked flawlessly. But this time not mounted nfs volume, it was kept to default.

@BrutalBirdie I can confirm 100% that it is working without any problems and updating well when not using nfs volume mount.

Next time I will mount nfs volume and check.
