Hi everyone, I’ve got a problem with the CLI updater which is recommended to use for instances with some more accounts like mine, having around 100 accounts, some are disabled btw.

Now when beginning the update session by opening the nextcloud “updater” dir and issuing the command “sudo -E -u www-data php /MYSTRUCTURE/NC-BASE/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar“ the script tells me this:

Cannot load Zend OPcache - it was already loaded
Nextcloud Updater - version: v29.0.0-1-g9293bcb dirty

Current version is 29.0.16.

Update to Nextcloud 30.0.17 available. (channel: “stable”)

Updater stopped.

The problem is that the web gui tells me following:

Version: Nextcloud Hub 25 Autumn (32.0.3)
Update: A new version is available: Nextcloud 32.0.5

So which one is the truth? For the recent updates I have been going with the web updater although knowing it’s not the recommended way.

The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
    • 32.0.3
  • Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
    • Ubuntu 24.04 (dirty in-place-upgrade from 22.04)
  • Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
    • 2.4.58-1ubuntu8.8
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
    • ---
  • PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
    • 8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.6
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
    • no
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • I think after ubuntu in-place-upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04
  • Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
    • BareMetal/Archive/zip-file
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
    • No

Summary of the issue you are facing:

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

Preferably I’d like to use the CLI updater again.

The “Current version is x.y.z” is pulled directly from the installation. The most likely explanation is you have two installation folders.

What does the config.php indicate from the same installation folder you’re running Updater from?
