been trying to troubleshoot this on my own but i think i need help. i originally had nextcloud-aio docker working on a bare metal ubuntu machine, with an entry in my fstab for a director on my nas.
i was able to move everything else to my vm (mostly through copying the home folder), but nextcloud is still not working.
the issue is when i try to route to my reverse proxied domain (through caddy which i havenāt changed and is working for my other services), i got a 502 error. if i try localip:11000, that gives me a connection refused. localip:8080 works, hereās what i see
if i docker ps in my vm, it looks like nextcloud-aio-nextcloud is stuck restarting, but apache and push seem to be up and healthy. everything else pertaining to nextcloud seems up and healthy too.
if i check docker logs for nextcloud, or click on āstartingā for the nextcloud container from the iplocal:8080 page, hereās what it says:
+ '[' -f /dev-dri-group-was-added ']'
++ find /dev -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -name dri
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ set +x
Configuring Redis as session handler...
The initial Nextcloud installation failed.
Please reset AIO properly and try again. For further clues what went wrong, check the logs above.

i tried properly resetting 2-3 times, but still leads to the same result. i have ports 443 and 80 open. i think i deleted some local nextcloud volumes (i try to keep things in a local folder for my services or on my nas or a mix of both) so i deleted some of those folders and let docker re-create them, but that didnāt work either. iām assuming my caddy and docker compose are fine since i didnāt touch them, but i can post those or anything else that would help.
thanks a lot all.
quick edit: iāve seen posts with similar issues, can link some of the ones iāve tried, but only making a most since i havenāt found a solution yet.
Btw, using the built-in backup solution would have helped you here but I guess you didnt use it? You could have restored the whole instance on the new server.
Btw, did you also back up all docker volumes on the old server and restored it to the new one?
No, it is not including all persistent data as you can see. I would recommend to use the built-in backup solution of AIO to back up and then restore on a new server.
hello,
i was able to make a backup. how should i proceed to restore? should i properly reset including deleting the directory with all my data and let it re-create everything when i restore from the admin interface?
restored the backup on initial setup, said it restored succesfully
now the logs for the nextcloud container is what i posted before:
+ '[' -f /dev-dri-group-was-added ']'
++ find /dev -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -name dri
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ set +x

See https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-properly-reset-the-instance
and apache logs: getaddrinfo for host "nextcloud-aio-nextcloud" port 9000: Name does not resolve
anything else i can try?
edit:
on my previous server, i havenāt done a full wipe yet, which is why i was able to make a backup. would that impact this new installation? i usually keep that machine in sleep or powered off.
sorry for the delay, i checked but forgot to reply.
my local folder and my nas folder are completely either removed or empty. my local config folder does not exist since i deleted that folder and i guess it didnāt re-create it when it ran, and my nas folder is there but completely empty.

The www-data user doesn't seem to have access rights in the datadir.
Most likely are the files located on a drive that does not follow linux permissions.
Please adjust the permissions like mentioned below.
The found permissions are:
1000:1000 755
(userID:groupID permissions)
but they should be:
33:0 750
(userID:groupID permissions)
Also make sure that the parent directories on the host of the directory that you've chosen as datadir are publicly readable with e.g. 'sudo chmod +r /mnt' (adjust the command accordingly to your case) and the same for all subdirectories.
Additionally, if you want to use a Fuse-mount as datadir, set 'allow_other' as additional mount option.
For SMB/CIFS mounts as datadir, see https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#can-i-use-a-cifssmb-share-as-nextclouds-datadir
i tried running sudo chmod +r in the parent folder (shown below) and in the nextcloud folder.
hereās my ls -la of the parent folder of where my nextcloud datadir is, i just blocked out some sensitive data and my name, but they all have the name listed.
edit2:
i tried some small things, no luck, restarted the entire vm (before was just restarting the containers), and now im getting the initial error of āinitial setup failedā. might try to do the proper reset again and see if i can get back to the point of the permissions error
the only difference i found was the way i handled credentials. i still tried it, but it did not change the error. i will try again with a proper reset + backup and checking permissions prior to starting the containers and will report back when i do.
