NCP upgrade to Debian Bullseye thread

Yes, it works :slight_smile: it properly migrates over to grub-legacy now and completes the upgrade.

root@nextcloudpi:~# ncp-dist-upgrade

No worries, glad I could help :+1:

Upgrade from Buster (NextCloudPi_RPi_10-08-21) to Bullseye has been done successfully on an RPI4.
After the reboot everything was working as expected.

The upgrade from NC22 to NC23 was not done.
It was necessary to upgrade manually with nc-update-nextcloud to get the NC updated to NC23.

I tried to update to Bullseye, I did a docker-compose down after that a docker-compose pull. After spinning up the new container my instance shows an 503 Error.

Maybe my ncp-report can help somehow.

On an Debian 11 new/clean curl installation I have this problem with the diference that the user is root and I´m trying to activate my user

I’m going to test that in a clean installation with the rpi image and post the result here

You can also use chown to set ownership back to www-data

Thanks but did not work

nc-hdd-monitor does not work

Tested with Debian 11 x86_64 curl installation because I don’t have any disk available that supports smart to connecto to the rpi at the moment

Error:

Running nc-hdd-monitor

=== START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION ===
SMART Enabled.

Failed to enable unit: Unit file smartd.service does not exist.
HDD monitor enabled

completely remove the old container (don’t just stop it) and start the new one with the same volume

I already did that.
I removed the container and even removed the old image pulled the new one spinned up the new image and still got the 503 Error.

I can get into ncp-config with the new image. So I tried an ncp-update. But it downgraded me from 1.47.1 to 1.44.8.

then please share the output of ncp-diag

I just did the upgrade after I got the notification and it failed returning the following:

E: The value 'bullseye-security' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources 
Something went wrong. Fix it and try again

I then tried updating/upgrading again through ncp-config and it returned this:

NextCloudPi updated to version v1.46.8 
Done. Press any key...

What to do?

Are you following this step?

Update to bullseye available. Type 'sudo ncp-dist-upgrade' to upgrade 

Yes, I did exactly that, which led to the first error message. When I try to upgrade again using the same command it just ends without any output.
An on the web GUI it just says “Internal Server Error” now.

How can I do that?

I tried docker exec -it nextcloudpi ncp-diag and got this error:
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: exec: "ncp-diag": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

hi @furkan189, @nachoparker
i am in the exact same boat (pulled docker image v1.47.1, removed old container, spinned the new image and get 503 on both ncp and nc pages).
i get the same error as you when trying to run ncp-diag, so here is what i did :

docker exec -ti nextcloudpi bash
ncp-diag

i get an error here because there is no execute permission on /usr/local/bin/ncp-diag

chmod 744 /usr/local/bin/ncp-diag
ncpdiag

Here is the output of mine :
