- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?
Yes
- When did this problem seem to first start?
I never got Nextcloud to run under Docker on my NAS, but without Docker with an implemented Nextcloud Server Version under my Synology NAS
- Installation method
- Docker
- Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
No
Summary of the issue you are facing:
Nextcloud Installation stopps at creating Database.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-
Creating new Docker-Project in my “ContainerManager” and start Downloading of the images and the Installation-Process.
-
Wait 15 Minutes, then access the Web-Interface of Nextcloud http://feldNAS.fritz.box:38888 to continue the Installation-Process and the Installation of the admin account.
-
I can access the Web-Interface of phpMyAdmin, but login doesnt work with “root” or “ncuser”.
-
Also, after several minutes i can access the Web-Interface of Nextcloud. Then i try to create the “admin” account. Again it takes several minutes, but get only error message.
