Getting help

In order to help you as efficiently (and quickly!) as possible, please fill in as much of the below requested information as you can.

Before clicking submit: Please check if your query is already addressed via the following resources:

Official documentation (searchable and regularly updated)
How to topics and FAQs
Forum search

(Utilizing these existing resources is typically faster. It also helps reduce the load on our generous volunteers while elevating the signal to noise ratio of the forums otherwise arising from the same queries being posted repeatedly).

Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can.

The Basics

Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
- 32.0.3
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
- Debian 13
Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
- as perAIO
Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
- HAProxy (via pfSense)
PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
- as perAIO
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
- Yes
When did this problem seem to first start?
- After Upgrading AIO to latest image
Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
- AIO
Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
- no

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I have been running NC for a while and I have also connected it to my locally hosted LocalAI instance. The connection worked well but after upgrading to the latest NC/AIO image, when I click on the little stars icon on the top right (AI), I am getting the above error message. I have not removed any apps I had running prior to the upgrade, so I don’t see what might be missing.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

Since I’m the only one reporting this, I am doubtful whether it can be replicated but
Upgrade existing NC to 32 / NC Hub Autumn 25
Try to use AI

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
