The Basics

- PHP version (e.g, 8.3): 8.3.29
- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No): yes
- When did this problem seem to first start? first try
- Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.): AIO
- Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No): No
Summary of the issue you are facing:
I’m looking for a method to import a batch of users and tried to use the nc-userimporter script, as it worked fine for me with a previous instance on NC.
However, I stumbled upon many issues and I’m not sure I still can use the script with the most recent releases:
- The script documentation stipulates that I need to install all required dependencies first, so I started a shell into the nextcloud-aio-nextcloud container and tried to install those dependencies.
- The command `python -m pip install --user requests` is rejected as Python says there’s “No module named pip”.
- I then tried to install pip but the command `python -m ensurepip --upgrade` returns an error “error: externally-managed-environment”.
- I finally tried to run the script without any dependency (`python3 nc-userimporter.py`) and… it obviously fails because of the missing dependencies!
Hence the point above: I don’t really know if nc-userimporter is still valid with AIO 32.0.4. If not, is there any alternative? I don’t want to create 250+ users manually…
Thanks in advance for any help!
