I’m having trouble logging into one account from the sync client on Linux.
Two other accounts on a different server work fine.
Another account, on a different server gets stuck in an infinite loop:
“Connect your account” - click login
First time around, enter login details
“Grant access” - click grant access
Goto 1. Skip step 2. on subsequent tries. Loop forever.
Things tried:
*Deliberately enter wrong password. This throws an error, the login is successful.
*Web interface. This login works fine. I can also see that the client is logged in.
*Upgrade NC. Was on 14.0.6, now on 15.0.4. No change
*Remove cookies stored in ~.local/…etc…/Nextcloud
*Remove the account and re-add it
*Closing the login window - this just gets the client stuck on logging in.
*I’m logged in on another linux computer with the same distro and the same version client. Though I am not sure that I actually logged in on this version client - I think the login carried over from an earlier version.
*Version of client is 2.5.1git as packaged in Debian testing.
I really don’t want to nuke nextcloud.cfg, but can.
Hi,
I had exactly the same problem yesterday with my own nextcloud instance.
When trying to log in from desktop sync client i was getting infinite loop and when trying to log in from nextcloud notes on android, logging in would just time out without any real errors in the log.
Turns out you need to add ‘overwriteprotocol’ ‘overwrite.cli.url’ and ‘overwritehost’ parameters to your config.php file.
Also, my nextcloud instance is running behind nginx proxy, and i had missconfigured ‘trusted_proxies’ parameter.
After adding those overwrite parameters and fixing my trusted_proxies array, i can log back in with the sync client.
<Proxy />
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge/ !
ProxyPass / http://lucas.mgscreativa.com.ar:3080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://lucas.mgscreativa.com.ar:3080/
I’m still facing issues with NextCloud Linux client. There is any other options to avoid this loop?
I’ve tried all work around without success . Is very frustrating…
I’m using NextCloud Server 15.0.5 and Client 2.5.1.
Same here, internal server with no need for ssl at all.
No chance to get 2.5.1 to login, looped forever. I spend some days and:
used internal proxy or not (would be nice if it could be configured per account)
switched apache to use ssl
adjusted whatsoever parameter mentioned above
I the end: No fun :(.
I switched to client version 2.3., which worked out of the box, see https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases/Windows/
for older versions. However, I will have to switch over all our installations, too, though :(.
Thanks for the tips, @DooNa1oh! For my instance I just had to add the ‘overwriteprotocol’ to my Nextcloud config.php and things started working right away.
Since my Nextcloud server was behind an Nginx proxy, it didn’t know that the base URL should start with ‘https’. This fixes that:
I had the same issue. I tried a lot of the other suggestions, but nothing worked except converting back to version 2.3 worked. The only difference is I’m on Mac.
Your solution of 'overwriteprotocol' => 'https', broke LAN access via HTTPS. This is only a problem since all browser add https:// by default and you have to change it or always type http://lan_ip:8080 now.
I solve this by setting up a DNS record in my router. If your router doesn’t support that you could also set up a DNS server and tell your router to give out that server to all clients.
. Is very frustrating…
