The Basics

  • Nextcloud AIO Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
    • 12.2.1

Basically all containers are all up to date. After I installed Giphy integration and go to connected accounts in settings, I got the internal server error.

Here’s what’s in the log that is related

Did you by chance have it previously installed and maybe with a different api_key?

From the looks of the code, that’s the main scenario I could see causing that. Well that or migrating to a new instance under some scenarios.

You can check the current config (and delete/modify it as desired) via the command line:

occ config:list integration_giphy

config related sub-commands for occ are covered in the Admin Manual.

AIO specifics for running occ are here.

Thanks! I did reinstalled NC AIO and restoring the database. I could clear out some encrypted contents in the database by using pgAdmin with SQL queries to clear all contents related to an app. For example external share. Is on oc_appconfig table.

I couldn’t find for Giphy.

The output

docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ config:list integration_giphy
{
    "apps": {
        "integration_giphy": {
            "types": "",
            "api_key": "***SENSITIVE INFO REMOVED***",
            "installed_version": "2.2.0",
            "enabled": "yes"
        }
    }
}

            "enabled": "yes"
        }
    }
}

Well, I did remove the app by clicking the box to remove data upon deletion/removal. It does not help.

Found out that this is the correct SQL query

DELETE
FROM public.oc_appconfig
WHERE appid = 'integration_giphy';

And now, I’m able to configure it
