Problem with updating Nextcloud on TrueNAS

Submitted ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨NervousGynocologist@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

Hello friends,

I’ve been running a personal Nextcloud instance on my TrueNAS server for about a year now. I sadly haven’t been able to update it though.

For some reason my data directory is called data2…

Now when I try to update through the web updater onthee step “Check for expected files” it gives me the error of: "The following extra files have been found:

data2 "

I have looked through the web for a solution and haven’t found anything that works. I’ve tried renaming the directory data2 -> data and changing the default directory of nextcloud from data2 -> data… But this for some reason did not work.

If someone could please help/give me a link to a guide or something. I’m not a very advanced user but I’ll give it my best shot. Let me know if you need more info please.

Thanks in advance.

If you are using the Truecharts app of Nextcloud you can open a support ticket on the Truecharts Discord server, they might be able to help or maybe someone already had the same problem and you can find a solution there.

  Thank you for the reply. Wasn’t aware of Truecharts… But I think they only support TrueNAS scale from what I see, I’m using Core. Not sure if that makes a difference but I’ll check out their discord.

Gah, this is the reason I havent set up nextcloud. Cant tweak the all in one docker thing to my needs, and a manual install cant easily be updated. Too much hassle when I just want to use nextcloud memories

  manual install cant easily be updated
  
  It definitely can, been doing it for years. Just bump the version number in nextcloud_version, deploy, done.

  It took a little bit of work but I rolled my own docker compose and it’s been pretty solid. I pin the specific nextcloud version in my compose file (I don’t like using :latest for things) and updating is as simple as incrementing the version, pulling the new image, and restarting the container. I’ve been running this way for a couple years now and I couldn’t be happier with it.
