NextCloudPi on a Raspberry Pi 4B

vrillo · July 20, 2019, 11:16am

After sudo ncp-update I did sudo ncp-dist-upgrade again. Now the notification disappeared. Thanks!

Today I tried to donate via credit card. But however the page forces me to open an account of PayPal. I won’t open such an account for some reasons. So I’m very sorry. Perhaps you do some changes.

Hi everybody,

I’ll receive my RPi 4 tomorrow !!
I already have my NextcloudPi server on a RPi 3B+.
Do you think I could put my SD card directly from 3B+ to 4B to upgrade my config ?

thank you !

Hi,
I would expect that to work, yes.
But would also expect the unexpected, so I’d make a copy of the card, make backups. To be prepared, better safe then sorry
Thanks for sharing!

Where is image for Raspberry Pi 4? It was under Downloads/ tests however looks like is missing now. Is it possible to install on RPI 4 on Raspbian Buster without Docker?

Did you check Download section before replying?

OveS · September 30, 2019, 7:42pm

I clicked on Code and got this: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi

Michal_Podgorski · September 30, 2019, 9:14pm

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is only docker version. I am looking for image based on Buster for RPI 4 as it was avaliable before.

Should work for RPI4.

Hi,
i try to migrate from 3B+ to a Pi 4B.
My files and database are on an external USB harddrive.
On my 3B+ I take a ncp-backup and on my Pi 4B the counterpart ncp-import.
But in the configuration of the Pi 4, the directory was not changed.
Also were settings, such as automount not adopted.

So I did it manually via ncp-config.
But there is an error with the database.
ncp-config >> CONFIG >> nc-database >> /media/USBDrive/ncdatabase >> START

Running nc-database
/media/USBdrive/ncdatabase is not empty
Done. Press any key…

This is true, on the Harddrive is a DAtabase with my Configuration. I will use the old configuration on my new Raspbeerry Pi 4B.

Is there any way to move my old data to a new Pi 4B?
Or do I have to copy everything manually?

I updated to latest NCP and Nextcloud versions and then just moved the SD card and external USB disk to the new Pi 4 and booted.

ttuuii · October 19, 2019, 4:45am

Hi, I try the same. But on my Pi 4 the green LED flashes briefly and then nothing happens anymore.
So I was hoping that I could install a new system on the Pi 4 and copy the old data (files and database) from my Pi 3 to the Pi 4. But the nextcloud system on the Pi 4 overwrite the folders

OveS · October 19, 2019, 8:12am

I did it differently. I did not install a new system on the Pi 4. I just physically moved the SD card and the USB disk from Pi3 to Pi4.

In your case, I would have done a full backup of the Pi 3 NCP, created a new NCP image on a new SD card for the Pi 4 and then restored the backup on that new system.

Hello everybody, today I tried the following again:

But Nextcloud just does not want to start in my Pi 4.
If I try it with a backup, which I create on my Pi 3, then the Pi 4 does not connect with the external hard drive. If I integrate the external hard drive on the Pi 4 over the control panael, then it overwrites all data on the hard drive.

Ok, now it works. I downloaded the current master firmware from the GIT and copied it to the boot partition. Now the SD boots in my Pi 4.

I have a four-unit cluster of RPi4s and I have had zero problems. Very stable platform, been up for months. Highly recommend running Ubuntu so you can have 64bit support works great!
