<![CDATA[Update failed: Check for write permissions]]>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?

Cloudron package is already at 25.0.1.

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.
EDIT: That seems to work.

Yep, that does it 🙂

I try to update to the latest cloudron version.

EDIT: That seems to work.

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

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

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