NextcloudPI activation failed - RapsberryPi 4B 8G

Hello everybody

I recently bought the new RaspberryPi 4B 8G model and wanted it to use it with Nextcloud.
But I can’t get it to work. On the activation screen, after copying the passwords, I can’t activate it. It tells me Nextcloud is not initialized yet.
After applying the image on the SD card, I added the SSH file and that’ was it. All available updates for Nextcloud and NexcloudPi are installed and no HDD/SSD is attached.

When I try to (Re-)initiate Nextcloud, it tells me Nextcloud is not installed and the available commands are limited.

Not sure if the model is to new and not supported yet, if the image is broken or I’m doing something wrong. I tried to find some things on the internet, but haven’t found anything usefull.

Thanks in advanced for your help and patiance. :wink:
Best regards

Checked md5sum of downloaded image?
Posting a downloadlink to the file you used can be useful as can a (pastebin) link to content of ncp.log

Have you tried that? or a reboot?
or manually starting mariadb.service?

Hello Oliver

I used the official download source from “ownyourbits.com” and loaded the tar.bz2-file.
(https://ownyourbits.com/downloads/NextCloudPi_RPi_03-28-20/)
The md5sum is correct. :ok_hand:

After running this command, there was not much of an improvement. A reboot doesn’t change a thing as well.

After manually starting the mariadb.service, the following is noted in the status:

Jun 12 09:08:34 nextcloudpi systemd[1]: Failed to start MariaDB 10.3.22 database server.

Following is a pastebin of the “ncp.log”.
https://pastebin.com/criy8TDC

I did only copy one block, since it was always the same. The rest was the same message or the note, that commands are not available since nextcloud is not installed.

Best regards :slight_smile:

Did not read the logs, but there may be an issue with ncp version 1.26
See here: Nextcloudpi unusable after update to v1.26, Ports 80 and 443 cannot be opened

Probably @nachoparker should have a look…

That looks like a (harmles but annoying) bug to me, created github/issue

Nothing wrong with ncp v1.26 is only releasing auto-update to NC 18.0.5

I also can’t get nextcloudpi to work on my pi 4 8gb. I get a process aborted notification after setting up ncp through curl installer. And whenever i try to install/update a version of nextcloud i get a process aborted notification after mariaDB starts. I tried manual starting mriaDB, but it doesn’t help.

same error,

It has something to do with the nc-limits i think…

ive now running Raspberry pi 4 8GB 64bit RaspberryOS beta and thats running verry smooth with over 800 GB of data.

Same issue on Pi4/8GB

Hello everyone

I wanted to close this thread, since it’s resolved for me.

I installed the latest beta of RaspberryPI OS 64bit. After running the updates and upgrades I installed NextcloudPI with the curl command.

After the installation I was able to configure everything and use the web interface.

Thanks for your help!
