Hey, I’m currently transferring my Nextcloud that was running in a Docker Compose to a Proxmox LXC container. To do this, I transferred the database, data files, config folder and templates folder (ref: Restoring backup — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation). After that, I changed some values in the config.php to make it work with the new Postgres database. Somewhere in this process, I made some mistakes and that’s why I’m looking for help here.
To be more specific:
Right now, when I access the website, I get the following error message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report.
More details can be found in the server log.
And I search for this “server log” so I can analyze the problem.
Some basic information:
The LXC runs on Alpine with nginx as the web server.
