Whiteboard problem after upgrading to Nextcloud 31 (Hub 10)

After upgrading from Nextcloud 30 AIO (Hub 9) to Nextcloud 31 AIO (Hub 10) , the upgrade itself went fine — but I ran into a problem with the Whiteboard app.

I didn’t want to go off-topic in the original thread where I first mentioned it, but since @devnull already replied there, I’m creating this dedicated topic.

:right_arrow: I’ve already reported the issue on GitHub:
:backhand_index_pointing_right: https://github.com/nextcloud/whiteboard/issues/488

:right_arrow: @devnull replied in the original thread:

Is Whiteboard running on port 3002, for example? Are the correct apps activated? Is the reverse proxy configured correctly? You should check all of this and write it in your issue.

Just to clarify — on the previous version (Nextcloud 30 / Hub 9) Whiteboard was running perfectly fine, using Whiteboard app version 1.0.5.
After the upgrade to NC 31 and installing Whiteboard 1.1.0-beta.1, I started getting this error:

Nextcloud server could not connect to whiteboard server: Client error: GET https://test.linuxdoma.sk/whiteboard resulted in a 404 Not Found response

:red_exclamation_mark: I did not change anything in my docker-compose.yml configuration compared to the original setup, where Whiteboard 1.0.5 was working.
The Whiteboard container is running normally in AIO.

For full context — this whole setup is running as a VM on Proxmox with Ubuntu 24.04 as the OS.

This seems to be caused by changes in the app itself or in how it handles requests after the update.

If anyone else has encountered this or knows what’s going on — feel free to share. I actively use Whiteboard, and for now I had to disable it.

I have the same problem on my NC AIO install (on a Pi 5, no reverse proxy)

Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.6)


ClientException

Nextcloud server could not connect to whiteboard server

Same here. Though accessing with Caddy.

Got the same problem now.

Whiteboard app version 1.1.1
Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.6)
Nextcloud AIO v11.1.0
[whiteboard@1.0.5 server]

There wasn’t problems before.
I don’t change anything, except container-update in the AIO-interface.

Same here: Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.6) AIO in docker install, accessing with Traefik 3.
Tried with outside access to port 3002 to whiteboard page using the traefik config PathPrefix addition.
When logging in I get: “Excalidraw collaboration server is up :)” but error message remains.

I’m having the exact same problem. after the update, got this error message: * Nextcloud server could not connect to whiteboard server: Client error: GET https://mynextclouddomain.com/whiteboard resulted in a 404 Not Found response: <head (truncated…)

Hi, for everyone running AIO, see https://github.com/nextcloud/whiteboard/issues/507#issuecomment-2996876047

Should we simply wait next upgrade by AIO interface?
