## The Basics

- Nextcloud Server version _(e.g., 29.x.x)_:
  - nextcloud:32.0.9-apache@sha256:ad0e7ae7 ([Community Docker](https://github.com/nextcloud/docker) build)

- Reverse proxy and version \_(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
  - traefik:3.6.10 Community Docker build

- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
  - Yes

- When did this problem seem to first start?
  - Just about as of the time I’m posting this (today)

- Are you using CloudfIare, mod\_security, or similar? _(Yes / No)_
  - No

### Summary of the issue you are facing:

Very similar to [this](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/setupchecks-is-very-slow-takes-more-than-8-minutes/221747) locked topic. The `occ setupchecks` command takes a long time (almost exactly 8 minutes: [7m 52.886s]) to execute. There is no CLI output until the very end, nor any logging output as far as I can see. It also can’t be interrupted (Ctrl+C) (not sure if possible to work around/fault of docker interface?) During this time, a php process consumes the maximum amount of CPU available, but at least in a respectful way that still allows everything including the nextcloud server to continue responding to requests.

Is there any way for me to get a closer look inside of setupchecks while it’s running? Thank you all in advance.

### Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

1. Run `php occ -vvv setupchecks` (in my case, `docker exec -it nextcloud php occ -vvv setupchecks`)
2. Observe as command takes 8 minutes to complete, not outputing any information by internal logging system, Docker logging system or CLI. CLI & web output only available after all work appears to be done.

### Log entries

#### Nextcloud

_No log entries related to the setupchecks process appear to be generated._

#### Web Browser

Does affect the Overview portion of the web interface, too. Would there be any local web console output if the CLI or logging interface aren’t generating anything?

#### Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in `/var/log/ ____ `:

The apache2 error log is linked to the `/dev/stderror` device, and I’m not sure where that’s going. The docker logs for this container only appear to show access from web.

### Configuration

#### Nextcloud

The output of `occ config:list system` or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your `config.php` file from `/path/to/nextcloud` is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):
