nexcloud Nextcloud upgrade failure

[brent]

If you try and run an upgrade on your nextcloud instance and it fails. Try the following.

 

1. Occasionally, files do not show up after a upgrade. A rescan of the files can help:

sudo -u www-data php console.php files:scan --all

 

2. Sometimes, Nextcloud can get stuck in a upgrade if the web based upgrade process is used. This is usually due to the process taking too long and encountering a PHP time-out. Stop the upgrade process this way:

sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:mode --off

 

3. Sometimes, Nextcloud will return errors after upgrading telling you some indexes are missing.

sudo -u www-data php occ db:add-missing-indices

4. Then start the manual process:

sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade

 

5. If this does not work properly, try the repair function:

sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:repair

6. Log back into nextcloud and run the upgrade again.
