What happened;

  1. Power failure at 27 Feb 2021
  2. AutoUpdate at 1 Mar 2021

What I already tried;

  1. Rebooted and noticed device unreachable every minute
  2. I cloned the SD card and used the new SD card to see if it is a bad SD card, same error, same ping up then down.
  3. Used the clone SD card on spare RaspberryPi, same error ā€˜Internal Server Errorā€™, ping is stable and up.
  4. Tried to restore March 1 from nc-update-backups, same error ā€˜Internal Server Errorā€™

Please helpā€¦

I think these backups only include the nextcloud files but not the ncp files. Id suggest you download latest ncp image, flash it to the second sdcard, initialize your new instance and then restore the backup from nc-update-backups again.

Thank you so much! I was hoping to avoid that, but that worked! May I also get your recommendation on how you backup the ncp files?

Should upgrade to 10, upgrade or do fresh install and restore from backup.

facing a simular problem with an nc instance on a shared hoster. Is flushing the system, reinstall, and init form backup best practice on this matter?

I dont backup the ncp instance itself anymore, also the settings backup is actually pointless, because it makes changes on the system when done, when you restore the settings i have experienced thst all changes need to be done again anyway (like setup the auto backups, cert renewal and other stuff) because the restore does not restore cron jobs and other stuff which has to be done again anyway
