Output errors in nextcloud.log in /var/www/ or as admin user in top right menu, filtering for errors. Use a pastebin service if necessary.
There is no /www folder in /var. I found a nextcloud.log file stored in /var/log/nextcloud but I don't know how to copy it. I tried winscp but couldn't view that directory. If you need it please let me know how to copy this file and I'll be happy to get it for you.
I started my Nextcloud journey with the All In One 40GB VM machine distributed by Hanssonit. It seemed like the best beginner version of Nextcloud and I ran it on my VMware ESXI server. For the most part it ran smoothly. It’s when I went to do updates that I ran into HUGE problems. This first time was my own fault because I didn’t do any backups and when I ran sudo bash /var/scripts/menu.sh and went down to updates it failed. When I went to the web address it told me it was in Maintenance mode. So I turned that off in the config.php file and the website said Nextcloud will be updated to version 24.0.4 Please make sure that the database, the config folder and the data folder have been backed up before proceeding. *To avoid timeouts with larger installations, you can instead run the following command from your installation directory: ./occ upgrade* I tried clicking the update button here and it gave me a series of errors. So I tried the .occ upgrade command and again was met with tons of errors. I searched everywhere I could to find a solution to this problem and eventually decided to turn off network security temporarily to see if something different would happen when I ran sudo bash /var/scripts/menu.sh. It didn’t fail this time. Instead it told me that I couldn’t update between major versions with that script. It told me to visit https://shop.hanssonit.se/product/upgrade-between-major-owncloud-nextcloud-versions/ I would have to pay fifty euros every time I want to update. For this server I just want to recover my Nextcloud data, files, contacts, calendar etc. How do I do this?
Fast forward to today and I decided to host Nextcloud through TrueNas in hopes that updates would be more reliable or at least easier to roll back when I inevitably bricked something. Sadly I was wrong and I bricked my server again. This time I have lots of snapshots in TrueNas but when I click Rollback it doesn’t seem to do anything to restore my Nextcloud server.
The steps I did are as follows. I ran updates from the web based updater. It immediately popped up an error message: The following extra files have been found: .htaccess.dist but a quick google search told me to delete the file and it worked. It went through all 12 steps of the updater and then had an error message. Before I could save the error message it reloaded the page and wanted me to login using an updater.secret. I didn’t see it in my config.php file so I made one by running php -r '$password = trim(shell_exec(“openssl rand -base64 48”));if(strlen($password) === 64) {$hash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT) . “\n”; echo "Insert as “updater.secret”: ".$hash; echo “The plaintext value is: “.$password.”\n”;}else{echo “Could not execute OpenSSL.\n”;}; as shown in this post: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/cant-access-nextcloud-need-updater-secret/62348/3 I added the updater.secret to my config.php file but it never would let me login to the page using the updater.secret. I gave that up and tried disabling maintenance mode and going to the web address of my server. I clicked the update button it showed and it gave more errors:

I gave that up and tried running occ upgrade on the TrueNas Jail Shell. It showed this:

Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade

What can I do to save this mess I created? I would love to host Nextcloud in order to have privacy and control over my data but I'm a beginner at this and keep messing things up. This https://www.truenas.com/docs/ and https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/ both have lots of info on how to set things up correctly and manage it but I still managed to mess it up. Is there any way to rollback the changes I made and/or make updates more reliable? Let me know if you need any more logs or info and I will do my best to supply.
