Hi there,

I’ve installed Nextcloud with Snappy packaging system following the instruction here:

The installation went successfully and Nextcloud is running up from the start, while it looks like the package is not updated automatically.

Would someone please let me know how to update that manually or to set it updated automatically?

Here is the log by executing snap info nextcloud:

user@localhost:~$ snap info nextcloud

  Where are your photos and documents? With Nextcloud you pick a server of
  your choice, at home, in a data center or at a provider. And that is where
  your files will be. Nextcloud runs on that server, protecting your data and
  giving you access from your desktop or mobile devices. Through Nextcloud
  you also access, sync and share your existing data on that FTP drive at
  school, a Dropbox or a NAS you have at home.

It says it tracks stable but the package remains 15.0.5snap1, which should be 15.0.7snap1.

Thanks in advance,

Hmm, that shouldn’t happen. Can we please see the output of the following commands?

$ snap changes

And

$ sudo snap refresh nextcloud

Sorry for the late reply- I tried sudo snap refresh nextcloud again and this time it worked like a charm. Nextcloud was updated successfully.

nextcloud 15.0.7snap1 from Nextcloudâś“ refreshed

I still am not sure why it took more than a week for the snappy package to be updated, though.

Me neither, I expect it tried a few times previously and it failed for whatever reason. Did snap changes show anything?

No, it showed nothing to me. After updating it started to show:

user@localhost:~$ snap changes
ID   Status  Spawn                   Ready                   Summary

Hi @kyrofa, just FYI the latest update to 15.0.8snap2 has been done automatically as expected.

user@localhost:~$ snap changes
ID   Status  Spawn                   Ready                   Summary
11   Done    yesterday at 13:02 JST  yesterday at 13:02 JST  Auto-refresh snap "nextcloud"
12   Done    yesterday at 18:37 JST  yesterday at 18:37 JST  Auto-refresh snap "nextcloud"

It is also confirmed on Administration -> Overview on Nextcloud admin settings page.

I learned last week that this may have been a bug in snapd where it tried to update before network was available and then didn’t try again for far too long. Sounds like that has been fixed, which I’m glad to hear! Thank you for letting me know.
