Nextcloud fresh install - Error: Command "upgrade" is not defined.

[afix-space]

Hi,
I'm testing nextcloud it seem there is an issue.
I'm tying to install a fresh nextcloud and with the minimal example of the man : https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#module-services-nextcloud

I get :

janv. 29 16:56:31 cloud systemd[1]: Starting nextcloud-setup.service...
janv. 29 16:56:31 cloud nextcloud-setup-start[20532]: Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available
janv. 29 16:56:31 cloud nextcloud-setup-start[20532]:
janv. 29 16:56:31 cloud nextcloud-setup-start[20532]: Command "upgrade" is not defined.

nextcloud-setup-start try to update a new install

same result with :
nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [ "nextcloud-19.0.6" ];
or
package = pkgs.nextcloud20;

I may not be calling all the maintainers in case it's a false alarm :-)

I just ran into this too, with nextcloud20 as my package. Running nextcloud-occ list doesn't show an upgrade command.

[IslandUsurper]

I ran the maintenance:install command manually, and now upgrade shows up. Not sure why it didn't install through nix, though.

[afix-space]

Thanks, it works for me too.
It must certainly come from the test.
if [[ ! -e /var/lib/nextcloud/config/config.php ]]; then
I'll check that later.

Cannot reproduce this on latest master and release-20.09. Can you please give me a minmal VM config that I can use to reproduce?

[afix-space]

Same config works in a test VM.

I'll try to take a closer look next week if it's still relevant.

[DieracDelta]

I am running into this error as well with about the same config as afix-space. Specifically I'm using this configuration without the nginx stuff (e.g. lines 5 to 27 commented out and services.nextcloud.nginx.enable not set) for nextcloud20 on both nixpkgs master and release-20.09. I'll try it in a VM and report back..

[DieracDelta]

It doesn't look like the builds of nextcloud and postgres are cleaned up completely, which is where it looks like this problem is coming from. Specifically, I had built nextcloud and postgres several times while I worked out the configuration settings I wanted. It turns out there were nextcloud and postgres folders in /var/lib that still remained after I uninstalled both apps. Removing those two folders, then reinstalling these programs via nix fixed the error for me.

[beardhatcode]

When I've first set up Nextcloud i encountered the same issues @DieracDelta is describing, but since then everything has run smoothly for me.

It might sense to verify the installed: true/false result of status after the maintenance:install block, before executing upgrade, e.g. using --output=json and jq -e '.["installed"], where -e causes jq's returncode to represent the boolean value of installed.

The --output=json of nextcloud-occ is unclean. Instead of returning simply JSON, it also returns an informative message on the same FD:

Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available
{"installed":false,"version":"20.0.5.2","versionstring":"20.0.5","edition":""}

Although this should be fixed upstream in the long term (see also nextcloud/server#23596), it needs to be stripped away for now (e.g. using grep -v ...).

#112013 may prevent corrupted installations in some cases. But I'm still missing a minimal VM setup to reproduce.

[afix-space]

I thought I gave one. I 'm very new with nixos but I would be delighted to learn more. maybe you can give me a link or guide me to do this? or pass the assignees to someone that can reproduce it. thanks

[Ma27]

Well, that's the test VM's config that I already checked. Was there any existing state in /var/lib/nextcloud during your install attempt?
