Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 12.0.2): newest (auto-update)
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 17.04): raspbian, debian, nextcloudplus
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): unknown
PHP version (eg, 7.1): 7.1

The issue you are facing:
I attached a NTFS formatted HDD (“HDD2”) to the raspberry with nextcloudplus (debian, nextcloud) installed. NCP was updated to the newest version. A HDD was already added to the device and the data directory is on “HDD1”. HDD2 was supposed to be used as backup solution.

No I can access data via my mobile phone, but the login via webpage is no more possible (not over my domain and not over local IP in network. So access via browser is no more possible. In a tab where I a still logged in via external access, the page looks broken up, so the design is messed. When I want to login via browser over a link in the local network, the login screen appears, but by entering login-Data, nothing happens.

I detached HDD2, but nothing changes.

Update: I restarted NPC, now it works better again, but the design is still partially broken.

What do I have to do to add a 2nd HDD as backup?
I have readthese infos, but this is not helpful, as it seems to break the filesystem (as showed above)

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
no access possible
nothing unusual under index.php/settings/admin/logging
At the time I added the HDD, nothing happed.
I only have

which is ok, as this is some external storage, which I cannot access now.

I can tell the short story of the answer to your only question, how to backup. Well, it’s a complicated answer, so the simple answer is no. It looks like there’s every possible hack for the raspberries, but I don’t see any official way to replicate, backup, or something else goes here. What I do is…I have a virtual machine and an OrangePi running nextcloud, (and I run the ownbackup app, which is somewhat redundant if you choose the database on USB option, although it’s not useless; it still provides a real backup and keeps versions, and stuff. ) and my desktop synchronization client synchronizes all files, and both servers in the sync client point to the same data directory. So when a file changes on a server and is synchronized to the desktop, the synchronization client picks it up as a change that needs to be distributed to all other connected servers.

Your problem is basically outlined in the first paragraph of the link you posted.

It looks like for now, you should remove all USB drives, reboot, insert the nextcloud drive, reboot again, then nextcloud will be working. Then you can log onto the system and determine the unique path with /media. There is probably an easy pi way to do this. Then change your data directory setting to point to the direct name, as outlined in the document you linked.

Make sure you re-read this again

From that documentation

Important note: If you are using only one USB drive, you can leave the default path /media/USBdrive for all configuration options, but if you are going to use more than one you need to reference them by label, or NCP will not be able to know which one is which. For instance, if the label of the drive is mylabel then use the path /media/mylabel for items such as nc-datadir, nc-database and so on.

So it is easy: stop using /media/USBdrive, use HDD labels

I tried to do that the following way:

  1. Logged into the NCP Panel > “data directory”
  2. Changed the path from “/media/USBdrive/ncdata” to “/media/MyCloudDrive/ncdata” (The name of the HDD I found by cd /dev/disk/by-label

No I get the error:

Fehler (Error)

Dein Datenverzeichnis ist ungültig (Data directory not valid)

Stelle sicher, dass eine Datei “.ocdata” im Wurzelverzeichnis des data-Verzeichnisses existiert.
(Make sure file “.ocdata” exists in root of data directory).

I still have the error after changing the directory back to “/media/USBdrive/ncdata”

Your data directory is invalid
Ensure there is a file called ".ocdata" in the root of the data directory.

Your data directory is not writable
Permissions can usually be fixed by giving the webserver write access to the root directory. See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/go.php?to=admin-dir_permissions.

Make sure that you have a valid datadir in /media/USBDrive/ncdata, and that it has the right permissions

8

Thank you for your answers.

How do I make sure I have a valid datadir in /media/USBDrive/ncdata? I did not change anything, I just changed the path from “/media/USBdrive/ncdata” to “/media/MyCloudDrive/ncdata and then changed it back.

stat /media/USBdrive/ncdata leads to

Datei: /media/USBdrive/ncdata
Größe: 0 Blöcke: 0 EA Block: 4096 Verzeichnis
Gerät: 28h/40d Inode: 256 Verknüpfungen: 1
Zugriff: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

How do I change the permissions?

9

try running nc-fix-permissions from ncp-web or ncp-config

10

This now leads to: “Unauthorized request. Try reloading the page”
I tried via the Panel in my browser. Is there another chance to start Fix permissions?

11

type sudo ncp-config from the terminal

12

Fix permissions via terminal leads to:

data dir not found

Ok, then let’s just do

sudo su
find /media/USBDrive/ncdata -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640
find /media/USBDrive/ncdata -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750
14

this leads to

pi@nextcloudplus:~ $ sudo su
root@nextcloudplus:/home/pi# find /media/USBDrive/ncdata -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640
find: ‘/media/USBDrive/ncdata’: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
chmod: fehlender Operand nach „0640“
„chmod --help“ liefert weitere Informationen.
root@nextcloudplus:/home/pi# find /media/USBDrive/ncdata -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750
find: ‘/media/USBDrive/ncdata’: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
chmod: fehlender Operand nach „0750“
„chmod --help“ liefert weitere Informationen.

But using USBdrive leads to:

root@nextcloudplus:/media/USBdrive# find /media/USBdrive/ncdata -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640
chmod: fehlender Operand nach „0640“
„chmod --help“ liefert weitere Informationen.

15

But I can cd to the directory you mentioned:

root@nextcloudplus:/media/USBdrive/ncdata# ls
root@nextcloudplus:/media/USBdrive/ncdata#

root@nextcloudplus:/media/USBdrive# ls
ncdata ncdata-07-22-18

16

ok, it’s empty… where are your data files? probably in the other USB drive (/media/USBDrive1 maybe).

In any case, like I said before, let’s try not to use the USBDrive names, but the labels, as found in

ls -l /media

Also, NTFS is not supported so you will have to do hackery with permissions

17

I have no clue where my data files are. The other USB drive was only connected for some seconds, I detached it, restarted nextcloud and NCP was running for ~2 weeks.

Then I tried to use the label name by changing the data directory as described above.
As it did not work, I changed back. Does the NCP panel delete data on the USB drive when setting new data directories?

And if everything is broken and deleted now, what to do best?

root@nextcloudplus:/home/pi# ls -l /media
insgesamt 16
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42 Jul 22 16:51 myCloudDrive
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jul 22 16:52 USBdrive → /media/myCloudDrive

And what about the other folder in the USBdrive:

root@nextcloudplus:/media/myCloudDrive# ls
ncdata ncdata-07-22-18
root@nextcloudplus:/media/myCloudDrive# cd ncdata-07-22-18
root@nextcloudplus:/media/myCloudDrive/ncdata-07-22-18# ls
access.log files_external ncp tmp

appdata_ocx378o6vm14 index.html nextcloud.log updater-ocx378o6vm14

18

Seems like you found your data. Probably there was some problem with the operation, such as permissions, and the operation did not complete. You can delete the empty folder and rename ncdata-07-22-18 to ncdata.

That should fix it for you
