I am sure you can make my worries disappear...

@solarsimon Dumb question but ... have you tried in another browser, just to make sure it's not a cache problem ?

no words. It had to be that simple.
solved, or better erase

@girish said in Migrate Nextcloud - Keep Nextcloud Users and Settings:

you will have convert it somehow.

I did some relevant steps futher to migration. Nextcloud is running with my data, database and apps on cloudron. So far pretty nice.

One more issue in detail:
All Files get a new FileID. Thats a big problem, cus file-links don't work anymore, both internal and external.
Anybody got a hint? Gonna ask in the nextcloud community.

For those how want to migrate, some further information.
On my System (Ubuntu 20, php7.4, mariadb10.5, Nextcloud 22) I installed PostgreSQL. Then convert database by occ db:convert...

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ db:convert-type --clear-schema --all-apps pgsql nextclouduser 127.0.0.1 nextcloud

Than make your Database setting equivalent to cloudron setting (u find them in config.php)

sudo -u postgres psql
ALTER DATABASE nextcloud RENAME TO db8fe...;
ALTER ROLE nextclouduser RENAME TO user8fe...;
ALTER ROLE user8fe... WITH PASSWORD 'f99...';
\q

postgres said something about crashing md5
so i switched to "trust" in pg_hba.conf
https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-change-the-postgresql-administrator-password-693900817.html

create your dump

pg_dump -Fp -h 127.0.0.1 -U user8fe... db8fe... -f /home/backup/nextcloudpg.sql

Sync your data-folder and your apps-folder.
Then follow https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/import-postgresql/

solved!
Make sure your data folder has the same folder structure.
Otherwise (in general when changing data folder) nextcloud does a rescan.

In my case I had to move all my data to new folder (media/storage) before I dump the database

Step by step:

1. maintenance mode and move data folder
2. update database

sudo -u postgres psql
\c db8fe...
UPDATE public.oc_storages SET id = 'local::/media/storage/' WHERE id = 'local::/home/data/';

3. update config.php

Maybe you can save work, by just alter the oc_storages in your database on your new server after import. But I did not try.

I also copied 'passwordsalt' and 'secret' in config.php from the old to the new server.

I made a clean installation of cloudron on a ubuntu hetzner server.
After that I could mount the storage box with the procedure I tried before without problems.

So I dont know what was wrong. But now everything working fine.
Thanks

I had to enable Masquerading under settings.
"Masquerading allows users and apps to send emails with an arbitrary username in the FROM address."

I did a clean installation and restored a backup.
Since than, everything is working fine.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have had discourse installed for a long time. (lately 3.1.3)
Recently a user informed me that the login no longer works.

Currently nothing happens during login, the login window remains and shows "Signing In" forever.
If I move the Discourse app to another subdomain, everything seems to work. If I put it back on the original subdomain, the login does not work again.
Even a fresh installation shows the same error.

What I have already tried.

• I quickly found out that a plugin could be the problem. I removed all subfolders from the plugins folder. At that point, the login worked again. I put the plugins back in one by one. Suddenly the login no longer worked at all.
• I have restored backups. First the login worked again without plugins. So I tried again to find out which plugin was causing problems.
• Now there is no login at all, with or without plugins. Not even with a fresh installation.
• On another subdomain the login works, even with the plugins.

How can the domain cause the error? What should I do?

Okay, I've come one step further.

The situation with the domain was apparently caused by Firefox. With Vivaldi there is a successful login again, or an error, depending on the plugins. How unnecessary

Actually Discourse only works with one plugin, but the plugin itself does not work: Discourse User Notes

With the other tested plugins nothing works, only the error message:

"Oops
The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem...."
I only tested two further Plugins: check-list and reactions

My test procedure is simply to remove the plugin folder and restart the app. I have no idea whether this is a reliable test.

Hi there, I wanna migrate from a other cloud service to nextcloud.
I have set up the cloud running well. Now I want to upload my data.

I'm talking about several 1000 files and around 20GB size.

I wanted to upload a zip file and installed the "extract" App on nextcloud. But here I do get encoding problems with german umlauts. I found a solution to run on the server:
'convmv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -r --notest --nfc <nextcloud-data-folder>'
But this wont work in the Terminal?

When I upload with the cloudron Filemanager, I get the same problem.

On Nextcloud side there was an issue already in 2017. https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/3136
With the same 'convmv' solution.

Seems like I will install Nextcloud Client and sync the files.

Also, it would be very interesting if it is possible to get the files with the original timestamp and have them visible in Nextcloud with the original timestamp.

I am grateful for any suggestions.

maybe consider to wait to update to version 28.0.5
