<![CDATA[Nextcloud restore fails - out of memory]]>My Nextcloud was not running today, and I could see that there was an upgrade (5.3.0) yesterday. I tried to restore to that previous state (5.2.0), and it fails (Task Error: Task 15381 crashed as it ran out of memory).

I worry that the issue is likely due to my Nextcloud storage being filled up (out of space). When trying to restore, there is not enough space. I can't seem to get it started again.

What are my next steps? Restoring the backup also seems to be restoring the files that are filling up my drive.
I do have my data on a separate volume. I would be willing to migrate my data to a larger drive, but I need to get the instance up and stable first.

Can you give nextcloud much more memory (in the Resources section) ? What is it at currently ?

at the top of the app page, I see:  Error : Task Error - Task 15416 crashed as it ran out of memory

This is running on an AWS Lightsail machine with 2 vCPUs and 4GB RAM. This hasn't been an issue before.

I've disabled auto-update and started another restore to a 5.1.2 image to see what happens.

You can try to increase the memory limit for the app, also increase it for the postgres service, just in case, as Nextcloud is using that. Further if that doesn't help, does the system itself run out of memory maybe? If so try to stop some apps temporarily to give the restore more headroom or in the long term maybe add more memory to the server itself.
