Process I followed was due to my passwords on all accounts simultaneously expiring + not having automatic renewal of letsencrypt for some reason. Seems cron is not running. Strange, so I decided to fix credentials and update to a more current stable:
- Confirm
nc-updateis current for ncp interface. -
letsencryptmanual renewal. - Change
nc-adminpassword from the panel.- “invalid parameters” error as space characters are not supported, so adjusted password.
- Prune older backups to recover disk space.
- Update to 20.0.11 automatically began upon login to webui as admin.
-
nc-update-nc-appsto manually update all apps.- No output displayed, but I see the apps have not actually updated when manually directed via 4443 or ncpconfig.
- auto updates are enabled, but not working.
- Update to 21.0.3 manually from
/settings/admin/overview

Now an error crops up under /settings/admin/overview

Take a break to drink some water… and repeating the update magically now works a few minutes later.

- Disable Maintenance Mode again and reload. Attempt update to 21.0.3 again… lol, it says it has already succeeded.
The database is missing some indexes. Due to the fact that adding indexes on big tables could take some time they were not added automatically. By running "occ db:add-missing-indices" those missing indexes could be added manually while the instance keeps running. Once the indexes are added queries to those tables are usually much faster.
Missing index "fs_size" in table "oc_filecache".
$ sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ db:add-missing-indices
