OS: Armbian Buster (Kernel 5.9)
Installation method: NCP curl method
Original NCP version: 1.32.0(?)
Original NC version: 20.0.2(?)
Filesystem: /boot as ext4 on SD, / as btrfs on SSD, datadir as btrfs on HDD
Issues:
- Windows sync client reports error 503 (service unavailable)
- Windows sync client reports error 403 (permission denied)
- Floccus / bookmark app reports rerror 503 during sync
- I found out that my /mnt/datadir filesystem changes to read-only after some time. Why on earth would it do that?!
The system is still running and I can use the web UIs of NC and NCP. To fix the issues I need to reboot the system.
What I don’t understand are the messages about lack of permissions and non-existance of the data dir (which is clearly there and which I moved using NCP).
Analysis and examples of log file messages:
- NCP WebUI
“Nextcloud check” reports as error (what does this mean exactly?) - Manual check of file permissions
Seems as if every file and dir belongs to www-dir (and I have never transfered files directly, only via web UI or Android/Windows sync client) - ncp.log

If I run the ncp permission fix command (to be precise this part: sudo -u www-data php occ config:system:get datadirectory), I get a lot of error output:

Your data directory is not writable
Permissions can usually be fixed by giving the webserver write access to the root directory. See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/go.php?to=admin-dir_permissions.

Any hints on where I could start debugging?
