i believe something on that update ether is wrong or went bad cause now my nextcloud is getting randomly into maintenance mode, so i have to log into my console and switch it off manually with
sudo nextcloud.occ maintenance:mode --off
i have snap nextcloud getting updates from the 17/edge channel, i dont really wanna backup my nextcloud and do a fresh install all over again, cause it would take me too long, so if anyone can gimme some help here to fix my issue it would be great
We have the same problem since today or yesterday. Turning off the maintenance mode in config.php did not help (it was set to true), using your command “sudo nextcloud.occ maintenance:mode --off” did help.
In the log I can see the following errors:
[lib] Error: ResourceLocator can not find a web root (root: /var/snap/nextcloud/18155/nextcloud/extra-apps/deck, file: index.php/css/deck/b654-b56f-style.css?v=f9e2d8a20319e5266176138ed0adc6a2, webRoot: , throw: true)

We also use snap nextcloud. But we are on version 16.0.7 Build:2020-01-12T23:21:39+00:00 177f0220ae625c21a81711aa07a96a08f7ffdd56.
That’s the usual way to deactivate the maintenance mode but something must have caused the problem. Have you e.g. updated an app? The mentioned error seems to refer to the deck app.
We did not update manually. Maybe there is an auto-update activated somewhere (if this is an option?!). I checked the deck app, it seems to work but I´ll need to have a closer look later today.
i didnt update manually ether, it automatically updated, my last entry on my log is:

i dont not have an app on my nextcloud called spreed, so i do not know where is this comming from, is there a way to downgrade or go back to my previous version of nextcloud, the one that was working, or a way to disable these automatic updates :S
Afaik, an automatic update function doesn’t exist within Nextcloud. If a Nextcloud update or an app update has taken place, someone has kicked it off manually. Would it be possible that someone has updated the php components of your server in the background? Very often people are updating their environment without thinking about a possible impact on installed software.
“speed” is the former name of the talk-app which hasn’t been fully renamed yet.
No, im the sole admin in my nextcloud server, only me has access to that server, no one else, so i dont understand how that happened then :S is there a way to go back to my previous version?, ill disable talk to see if it makes any diference and post back.
Edit: i disable and uninstalled Talk with no success, still goes into Maintenance Mode, one thing i forgot to mention is that if i click refresh on the webpage multiple times, it allows me to go back into my nextcloud, but then when i change pages it goes to maintenance again, so i have to refresh multiple times for the page to load again instead of the maintenance page.
Yes, use your regular backup to revert to the previous version - I still don’t believe that the environment has been updated. Check your log file and verify the software version number. Currently v17.0.2 seems to be installed - which works like a charm on my server.
i do not have a backup, id have to data backup my current nextcloud, uninstall it, install it again and restore a data backup, thats what i was trying to avoid, but if i cant get a solution by tomorrow at least then ill have to do it to restore proper functionality :S i cant have my nextcloud behaving like that, going into maintenance every 5 secs
Unfortunately I’m not an expert on Nextcloud snap. Eventually one of the required components is not running properly, e.g. Redis?! Have you checked the installation using the occ command?
As far as I know snap updates automatically, correct? I read this on various forums, and checking with “snap -list” indeed shows a new version (note the version-date, this is where our problems started).
I did not test this yet, but with snaps it should be possible to rollback:
“sudo snap revert nextcloud”. This might break your installation - or not. I did not dare to test this yet…
Tyvm for that command, i wasnt aware of it, i did dare to execute it and now everything is back to normal hehe, now i just have to look for ways to disable automatic updates on nextcloud snap :S u should use 17 tho
Can you post a solution to disable snap updates? A very quick research showed: it´s complicated up to not possible. I´m open for ideas…
Version 17, yes, - it only had some problems with our aws storage, this is why we use 16 for now… This might be solved now, but still was a problem in December…
if ur using storages why not going for a normal full install instead of the snap? it would allow u to have more control over it, i ran 2 companies, both of them i have them with nextcloud installed manually, i only use the snap version of nextcloud because its for personal use and i dont need anything else than just regular cloud storage, but on my companies i have it integrated with my windows networks and active directory authentication and that requires a bit more tweak to make it work so snap was not an option
I use it on an AWS instance and wanted to test it first. The snap installation was the first tutorial I found
Anyway, the system is only set up to transfer big amounts of data, so we do not need all the bells and whistles it might offer. Until today it worked like a charm. But auto-updates which can not be postponed or stopped are a problem of course…
Found a way to at least change the amount of times the snap refresh using this command:
sudo snap set system refresh.timer=fri5,4:00-7:00
fri5 will update only on the last friday of the month 4:00-7:00 will refresh from 4 am to 7 am
u can modify any of those to ur like
theres also a work arround by setting up ur connection as metered, but i think ill stuck with this one for now and see how it goes, to check if ur command ran properly use:
sudo snap refresh --time
mine shows a result like this:
timer: fri5,4:00-7:00
last: today at 08:45 CST
next: in 17 days, at 22:00 CST
hope it helps
