The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
    • 33.0.0
  • Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
    • Debian Trixie VM
  • Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
    • via AIO
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
    • caddy 2.11.2 in front of AIO
  • PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
    • via AIO
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
    • yes
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • after installation
  • 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:

Fresh installation of AIO was working fine. But when stopping the containers (e.g. for borgbackup) in the AIO WebUI most containers won’t start up again (see pic). It seams like there is not even an attempt to start them. I can’t see errors in the master container a the non startet containers don’t even have any information in the logs (as they aren’t started…).
–> I have no clue, why this happens.

Reboot of the VM doesn’t fix it. The only way to get a working instance back (temporary) is to restore a VM snapshot (works as long as the containers are not stopped…)

This is the final state after starting the containers:

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

  1. With a fully working AIO instance to AIO WebUI in stop containers

  2. Wait for stopping to complete

  3. start containers

Log entries

Nextcloud

Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.

can't find meaningful logs, please advise where to look

Web Browser

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector Console and Network tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

PASTE

Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

Configuration

Nextcloud

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

Apps

The output of occ app:list (if possible).

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.

Hi, can you please post the output of sudo docker inspect nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer here?

Ok, this is really embarrassing. I found the problem and it was my fault. I’ll leave this here just in case anyone has the same problem in the future.

As mentioned I have a caddy instance in front of AIO. In the caddyfile I specified for the AIO-Admininterface (as part of some general hardening… which turned out as too hard :smiley: ):
X-Frame-Options DENY

What I didn’t realise is that the AIO WebUI seams to rely on IFrames to start the containers. Replacing it with

X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN

fixed the issues.

All containers are starting up again. Problem solved :slight_smile:
