Nextcloud tries to reinstall on update

I tried to update my nextclound instance from nextcloud:29.0.9-apache to nextcloud:30.0.2-apache by swapping the image in my docker-compose.yml. This worked perfectly in the past, however it now tries to re-install. If go back to version 29, I can start nextcloud again. Any advice on how to make the update?

Here is the log:

nc_update_30
nc_update_301106×490 22.5 KB

Thanks for your answer @jtr

the compose file looks like:

The commands to update is just:

  • open compose file and change the image
  • docker-compose up -d nextcloud
  • (I also tried it with stopping the container before manually docker-compose stop nextcloud)

hm, I just tried to update to 29.0.10 but having the same issue there. So it seems not to be related to any specific version, just any update.

Strange thing is, I still can run other occ comands. E.g. occ config:list system

Okay, I was able to get it up again by performing the update via occ directly. After the update to v30, I ran into the same and recovered it again via occ upgrade. Still not sure how to really solve this issue.

Your app container’s volumes configuration is insufficient. You lack coverage of /var/www/html.
