NextCloudPi documentation server fails to load, 502 error

[servette]

I have downloaded the ncp image for the Raspberry Pi, and would like to follow installation and configuration steps with it, however when I try to access the documentation server at https://docs.nextcloudpi.com/ I get Loading… but it never loads (and in the browser inspector it shows that there has been a 502 error, which is likely a system configuration error or similar).

Is there an alternate documentation repository that I can view for installation and configuration guidance, or, failing that, is this the proper place to alert the maintainers of the ncp documentation server of this error?

I saw this thread about docs.nextcloud.com being down, which possibly is due to the same problem that I am experiencing here:

Nextcloud docs (https://docs.nextcloud.com/) down

Also the case with my instance. Backend/admin interface not loading at all(timeout eventually). (after disabling updatenotification app, it’s working again) Maybe this has something to do with the fact that in my case Nextcloud is running behind a HAproxy/reverse proxy. Still strange though.

I did try a cache clear and hard reload, in case it was just a case of a cached DNS entry following a server change, but that did not help.

See my answer here:

Nextcloud docs (https://docs.nextcloud.com/) down

I don’t think so. It looks like docs.nextcloudpi.com is hosted on a different server. It also looks like the actual content of docs.nextcloudpi.com is hosted here in the Nextcloud forums, and the script that is supposed to fetch and categorize the content is somehow broken, respectively it cannot access the content anymore. Maybe due to an update of Discourse? (the forum software used here) Nevertheless, all the contents of docs.nextcloudpi.com should also be available here: NextcloudPi Docume…

OK - the starter documentation that looks most promising is in at least these three forum posts:

Thanks - I’m new to this community site and still figuring my way around (looks like that post was made before mine, but in a different subforum).
