I ran into an issue on Nextcloud 18 that all the shares, which the users on my server created, were suddenly deleted. The database table āoc_shareā was completely empty and so there was no more internal or public share available.
It turned out, that due to a bug the whole āoc_shareā database table gets wiped, when one NC user removes a federated share:
A fix has already been provided by the developers, however it will first rollout with the next release and therefor some time will pass, were you might lose your shares.
So in case, you use federated shares, or just allowed federated sharing to your users, better act fast and implement the fix yourself.
Luckily the fix is easy to implement:
I hope none of you loses his shares!
By the way: in case you notice the issue that sharing a file or folder internally to another user throws an error message, this is caused by the app āMapsā:
This also has been fixed already and will be available with the next version/ release of āMapsā. Until then it helps to disable the app āMapsā.
Good catch. I ran into this issue as well but I related it to a change of a hostname I did recently. The entries werenāt updated properly, I had to fix the database manually and I thought to have missed something there.
Wow thanks !!!
This bug happened to me last Monday !
I quickly analyzed that the oc_share table was empty but I didnāt understand why and how! I spent more than 3 hours looking at all the logs of my server and I didnāt find anything wrong. I concluded it was a bugā¦
Fortunately my database backups allowed me to restore the oc_share table and everything was restored !
Since Monday I wanted to come and open a topic here and Iām happy to see that itās really a ābugā whose origin has been found and fixed.
Great work for finding bug and thanks to the nextcloud community.
Backups save lives and have saved mine. Do your backups: database and files!
Long live to nextcloud
Hello.
I just have this bug i noticed that my next cloud folder is completely empty, the whole folder has disappeared.
Except the 3 files :
._sync_77faa22245af.db
._sync_77faa22245af.db-wal
._sync_77faa22245af.db-shm
I did not delete the file of course, it disappeared by itself.
I think I have a copy of all the documents present, but it is still annoying
The last time I used next clound it was 8 days ago, and everything was fine.
I even have on the āactivityā the history of me creating folder and adding new file and on the history we donāt see a ādelete commandā anywhere so i assume all the data get removed like that with no reason. I would like to recover my files because they are important.
I am not the owner off this next cloud server.
How can i do to backup all the file?
