Issue with Reinstalling Nextcloud on Umbrel OS

Problem Description:
I encountered an issue while trying to reinstall Nextcloud on my Umbrel OS system.

  1. Nextcloud was not working, and in the Umbrel apps interface, it showed as “not running.”
  2. Checking logs with docker logs -f nextcloud returned an error: no such container exists.
  3. Running docker ps -a | grep nextcloud did not find any Nextcloud containers.
  4. Attempting to reinstall Nextcloud using ~/umbrel/scripts/app install nextcloud failed because the scripts directory does not exist in ~/umbrel.
  5. The bin/update script is also missing from ~/umbrel, so I was unable to try updating the system.

What I Have Tried:

  • Deleted the ~/umbrel/app-data/nextcloud folder.
  • Restarted Umbrel using sudo systemctl restart umbrel.
  • Tried finding the installation and update scripts, but they are missing.

System Information:

  • Device: Raspberry Pi 5
  • OS: Umbrel OS
  • Nextcloud was installed on an external HDD

Question:
How can I properly reinstall Nextcloud in my situation? Is it possible to restore the scripts and bin/update files, or do I need to completely reinstall Umbrel OS?

Hello @yuramaksym, welcome to the Nextcloud community.

honestly it looks more like an issue with your OS and I would ask in the respective support channel. Chances are higher you get qualified support there related to the location of applications, scripts and troubleshooting steps

Asking in the Umbrel forum is certainly a good idea, but you can also ask ChatGPT and work through the suggestions.

Here is a suggestion for a prompt:
