<![CDATA[Postgres error in Nextcloud app with volumes]]>I tried to move my Nextcloud app data to a block storage volume because I ran out of space, however, that failed.

Now I keep getting this error inside the application: Error : Addons Error - Error setting up postgresql. Status code: 500 message: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432

I cannot even import the last backup due to the same error.

How can I get access again?

Take a look at my output. Compare with the files in your backup and the one in your (broken) live app.

But then re-implementing the backup from scratch might be even more helpful after I will have deleted it already.

These files should be small as data is the big chunk but be careful to not run out of space! 🦆

ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 yellowtent yellowtent 4096 Oct  3 09:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 yellowtent yellowtent 4096 Jun 26 11:40 ..
drwxrwx--- 9 www-data   www-data   4096 Sep 11 14:46 data

I cannot reinstall the backup in the same instance because I ran out of space in the disk. Moving the data directory failed, so I cannot revert it either.

My best alternative is to delete the app completely and then set it up again, either through backup or generally new, if I cannot solve this problem here. I was hoping to get access, though, so that I can still make the necessary changes.

Have you tried to restore an older Nextcloud backup to a different subdomain? My first guess would be file permission related. I would suggest to stop the app, revert the data directory to its default location (/home/yellowtent/appsdata/ following the original app ID as folder name) and copy over the data that was moved to the volume by hand. Keep an eye on file permissions within the directory. My permissions look like this:

root@my:/home/yellowtent/appsdata/9cff92f2-cf59-4a7e-9455-5261ee1fe533# ls -la

The whole app directory (including db etc.) or just appdata? Symlinks? More infos please 🙂
