The issue you are facing:
After upgrading from Nextcloud 24.0.8 the
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): no, I already tested a los
Steps to replicate it:
- Install Nextcloud 24.0.8, configure custom background picture
- Update to Nextcloud 25
- Logout and try to Login again, you won’t see your background picture anymore, just a blank color
Strange thing:
Directly after the update, when still being logged in, the background image is there. But once being logged out or using another browser…it’s gone. I assume it’s a caching problem here but I still wanted to mention it.
Problem:
We’re hosting a few nextclouds for our customers and update them regulary. Some of the customer use custom designs like favicon, background image etc.
After updating our own nextcloud I realized, that the background image was gone.
Testing it with a testing instance I found out, that the images were previously stored at
data/appdata_xxxxx/theming/images/
When upgrading nextcloud the folder images gets deleted.
With nextcloud 25 the path changes to
data/appdata_oc3ofb7zlt0w/theming/global
There i no “images” folder. If I set a new background picture the folder appears and contains the picture.
I tried to save and copy the files form Nextcloud 24 there but it didn’t help.
Why can the custom config not be transfered to Nextcloud 25? This has a huge impact since the customers would have to reconfigure everything.
Can someone tell me what we can do to avoid the reconfiguration?
Thanks in advance!
