Hello,
I’m running into a frustrating issue with my Nextcloud instance in Docker and I haven’t been able to fix it yet.
The main problem:
when I download a folder as a .zip from the web interface, the server seems to keep generating / processing the zip even after the client has already stopped the download. As a result, the hard drive keeps spinning for a long time, which is becoming a serious issue.
Context:
-
Nextcloud is running in Docker.
-
Image used: bigbeartechworld/big-bear-nextcloud-with-smbclient:33.0.5
-
I’m on ZimaOS.
Important symptom:
-
As soon as I cancel a .zip download, the disk keeps spinning instead of stopping right away.
-
It feels like the server keeps processing the zip on the backend even though the client has already stopped in the browser.
-
This behavior was not happening before the Nextcloud update, so I strongly suspect a version change or a recently introduced behavior.
What I have already checked:
- The problem still happens even though the containers are running normally.
- The issue appears specifically when downloading folders as .zip files.
What I’m trying to find:
- Why the .zip download continues on the server side after the client cancels it.
- Whether this is a known Nextcloud bug.
- A reliable solution to stop the server / disk from working unnecessarily.
If anyone has seen this before or knows the real cause, I would really appreciate any serious leads.
Thanks in advance for your help.
