I have Nextcloud running on TrueNAS Scale.
Local access works fine. Remote access works fine on the Web.
However, the app will not log in remotely.
It just gets stuck on “logging in” and spins forever.
In the logs, it simply says “login failed” with the IP address.
I have been scouring articles and videos for days, to no avail.
Does anyone with the same setup that has gotten this to work have any tips or any guides that may resolve this? The app is not very useful without cloud access.
Thanks.
It usually is that straightforward.
Any chance you’re on a really old phone? I’ve seen the authentication screen sometimes have issues on really old versions of Android.
Can you login successfully via the web from the phone?
Hi. Sorry for the delayed response.
It is a Samsung Galaxy S22, so quite recent.
I have also tried on another phone, and on my tablet.
I am able to access the Web UI remotely from the phone and from a laptop.
However, the Android app will not connect. It just shows “Logging in” with a spinning circle that never completes.
If I type the password incorrectly, I get an error, so it’s obviously authenticating, but it never successfully logs in.
Okay, sounds a bit like a server-side issue.
- Check your
nextcloud.log(server) - Try an app password
- Post your redacted
config.php(or better yet the output ofocc config:list system
