- Nextcloud Server version _(e.g., 29.x.x)_:
  - 25.0.4

- Operating system and version _(e.g., Ubuntu 24.04)_:
  - Unraid 7.0.1

- Web server and version _(e.g, Apache 2.4.25)_:
  - `replace me`

- Reverse proxy and version \_(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
  - HAProxy 2.8.3

- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
  - Yes

- When did this problem seem to first start?
  - when running the following command:  
_docker exec -it nextcloud updater.phar_

- Installation method _(e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)_
  - docker container

- Are you using CloudfIare, mod\_security, or similar? _(Yes / No)_
  - Cloudflare DNS

I’ve searched through similar issues in this forum, but they had problems with different files. The concluded solution seems to be to delete those problem files; however, I don’t know where to find the “nextcloud” file to be deleted.

Need help…thanks
