The issue you are facing:
I am running the Linuxserver.io Nextcloud docker container, and haven’t had any issues thus far.
Today, I received a notification of an update, which I’ve done without problems several times before, and so I went to update. I got an error on step 10, and accidentally closed the browser tab by misclicking. Now Nextcloud just seems stuck and I haven’t been able to fix it.

Here’s the relevant bits from updater.log:

Here’s the .step file:
{“state”:“start”,“step”:10}

But I haven’t been able to get it to finish.

I have tried some occ commands (mainly trying to force it out of maintenance mode) and I get errors like this:

An unhandled exception has been thrown:
OCP\AppFramework\QueryException: Could not resolve OCA\Settings\AppInfo\Application! Class OCA\Settings\AppInfo\Application does not exist in /config/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppFramework/Utility/SimpleContainer.php:106

I’m not exactly sure what nextcloud version I am on since going to the URL just gives me “Update in process”
But in the folder containing the .step file, there’s a backups folder which, the latest backup it contains is nextcloud-18.0.1.3.

Is there a way to abort the update and restore that backup from the shell? I don’t have high hopes since occ seems to be hosed right now.

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

Steps to replicate it:

Run nextcloud web updater
Receive error on step 10
Close browser tab

Can anyone advise? I keep all my documents, pictures, calendar and contacts in my Nextcloud so I’m a bit screwed if I can’t get it fixed.

I’ve just noticed that /config/www/nextcloud doesn’t exist, I’m guessing because it was going to do the upgrade and got rid of it to replace it with the newer version. So that explains why the occ seems hosed. Not sure what do do here.

I was able to (seemingly) fix the issue by these steps:

cd /config/www/nextcloud/updater
sudo -u abc php updater.phar

After following the prompts there, I was able to log into Nextcloud again. I checked Settings > Overview (as I do after every upgrade, to see if I need to run something like db:convert-filecache-bigint or db:add-missing-indices) and it was giving me a warning saying the background jobs hadn’t run successfully for two days.

I ran the jobs manually with:

cd /config/www/nextcloud
sudo -u abc php cron.php

Knock on wood but everything seems good now. If anyone else has these problems and aren’t using the linuxserver.io container, you should be able to substite the path to your nextcloud installation and www-data for the user above.
