NextCloudPi: Nothing happens after "Initializing NextCloudPi for the first time"

Hi,

I tried to run NextCloudPi in the docker container with the command

docker run -d -p 4443:4443 -p 6443:443 -p 6080:80 -v ncdata:/data --name nextcloudpi ownyourbits/nextcloudpi-armhf

There is an nginx reverse proxy on the machine to provide different applications (docker containers) on the same port.
In the logs ā€œInit doneā€ is shown but the browser shows (no matter if I access it from the Internet via the reverse proxy nor locally);

Initializing NextCloudPi for the first time
Please waitā€¦

In some older forum posts there is a much longer logfile. Am I ā€œmissingā€ any logs?

On the RaspberryPi ā€œdocker-ceā€ is installed, since the docker container couldnā€™t be loaded with docker.io.

pi@raspberry:~ $ docker run -d -p 4443:4443 -p 443:443 -p 80:80 -v ncdata:/data --name nextcloudpi ownyourbits/nextcloudpi-armhf

Could this be an issue, using docker-ce instead of docker.io? (sorry, total docker noob).

I have exactly the same issue, I am also using docker-ce and the second last line of my log file says ā€œStarting redis-server: redis-server.ā€ and finishes then with ā€œInit doneā€. My solution for now is to use the full Raspberry Image instead of the docker image.

this is not the first time you run the container, you probably didnā€™t clear the ncdata volume.

Try to stop and remove the container, and remove also the volume before issuing docker run

Thank you, thatā€™s it.
As I said, Iā€™m a docker noob. I tried to restart the container the container with the full run command as stated in my first post. If anyone facing the same problem, just start the docker container with

docker start >container-id<

The container ID can be found with

docker ps -a

One-liner if you NextcloudPi container was the last to exit:

docker start ā€˜docker ps -q -lā€™

thanks, deleting the volume worked for me as well

Hello guys. I have the same problem and donā€™t get it fixed. I did 1 to 1 what the manual says https://ownyourbits.com/2017/11/15/nextcloudpi-dockers-for-x86-and-arm/
I installed docker and this docker-compose. The panel works great with https://192.168.178.29:4443/ but the real NextCloud is stuck at Initializing NextCloudPi for the first time. Please waitā€¦
I already removed the container and the volume and did the same process again. Can you help me?

I think I found the solution.
After waiting a sufficient amount of time (15 min?) I found the window that was reloading and reading ā€œInitializing NextCloudPi for the first time. Please waitā€¦ā€ I simply altered the URL from
https://myserverip:443 to https://myserverip/nextcloud

This brought me to the happy blue admin login window.

Hello,
i had the same issue. (I am using a Raspberry PI 3B+). I also tried to remove the volume, but it did not work for me.
On the nextcloudpi admin interface (https://yourIP:4443) : I updated the nextcloud app from 18.x to 19.x. Strangly, this solved the problem. (I went through the upgrade to version 21 after that. It is stils working).
Good Luck.
