Summary of the issue you are facing:

I am experiencing a persistent and strange issue with my Nextcloud Docker installation regarding the update notification in the web UI (Administration Overview).

The Problem: My Nextcloud instance is currently running on version 33.0.2 (verified via version.php and occ). However, the web interface constantly shows a notification that an update to 32.0.8 is available. It seems the UI is stuck suggesting an older version than the one currently installed.

Has anyone encountered this “stuck” notification before or knows which specific database entry or cached file might be forcing the UI to display this specific version?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What I have verified/tried so far:

  • Version Check: Both config/config.php and the command php occ config:system:get version correctly report the current version (32.0.8.2).

  • Codebase: The version.php file in the root directory is correct and matches the installed image.

    • $OC_Version = array(32,0,8,2);
    • $OC_VersionString = ‘32.0.8’;
  • Database Upgrade: Running php occ upgrade returns “No upgrade required.”

  • Cache Clearing: I have cleared the Nextcloud cache (php occ cache:clear) and performed a hard refresh in the browser (Ctrl+F5).

  • Update Channel: I tried switching between “Stable” and “Beta” channels to force a refresh, but the 32.0.8 notification persists.

It also update my Nextcloud instance to the latest 33.0.2 and even here the overview page suggest to update to “32.0.8”.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Do an update from 31.0.14 to 32.0.8

  2. Open the Overview Page
