I tried to upgrade from 7.2.3 to 7.3.1. All boxes ticked until the last step "continue to update" and it goes back to the login screen. What am I doing wrong?

I want swag to resolve a second domain. Is anyone aware of a youtube tutorial to do this. There are plenty of posts which declare you can do this but I can't find an explanation of how.

Thanks for the feedback. I will see if I can get my head around the documentation. Also looking forward to the video in the future. Regards Greg

How about a youtube video on setting this up?

An explanation. I posted a solution to no ones problem. When using windows, the client available on the wireguard site provides a gui solution to access the clients. The windows gui client allows you to set up connections for multiple clients. The linux solutions provided on the wireguard site are commandline clients. This makes the operation cumbersome if you want to manage say 20 unraid servers. the wireguird app works as per the windows app for deb (aka ubuntu,mint,zorin distributions) I made the post with the assumption that other linux users wishing to gain access to Unraid via wireguard could benefit from this client.

For those who want to know.. In my quest to say goodbye to Windows I have decided to go with Zorin. One Issue that I have had was the apparent lack of a gui to configure Unraid wireguard clients. Then I came across this. https://github.com/UnnoTed/wireguird?tab=readme-ov-file It is called Wireguird. It has a look and feel of the windows client. I found that I had to unzip the unraid config file and install the .conf file instead of the entire .zip as you can with the windows gui. I was wrong. Wireguird will accept the unraid generated client .zip file. I also had to modify the tunnel name once imported so the the length was less than 15 chars. The only other solution prior to this was via command line which is not convenient when you have multiple wireguard clients. (Not sure how to mark my own post as solved. Meant to be informational. It took me a while to find a solution to this. Hopefully it may be helpful for others)

Yes you only let it go to :latest if it is up to the current version. If it gets to be 2 versions behind you have to lock it to current version +1 for the updates.

I haven't tried it in practice either yet, but it looks feasible given the interface is part of unraid and will be builtin to v7.xx.

The update button only disappeared from about version 27 or maybe 28. There was the other preferred method using docker exec -it nextcloud updater.phar but in this instance I found that it broke it when trying to break through v27 more times than not when trying to resolve this problem. I found that this method, though cludgey, usually produced the goods. The button method always worked as long as you were aware of its shortcomings and you compensated for the time outs. Most importantly you let it run its course and dont abort part way through.

(This was a response to a possible solution to an editor to update the .conf files) To finish this off, Spaceinvader one put out a quick video to use the unraid file manager with a couple of mods to update the .conf files. This seems like a good cross platform solution.

Assuming your v25 still works. Try this. Not necessarily the best way but it worked for me. Backup your appdata. In nextcloud Admin settings / overview, you should still have the update button. Use this to update until it gets to v27. DONT update Mariadb until it gets there. This update method will probably time out. Dont panic, it is still doing it in the background. If it times out before it gets to the step Maintenance mode, click the back button on your browser to bring you back to the overview menu and wait a few minutes until it finishes the current step.. Then press update again. It should resume at the next uncompleted step. If the step has reached or gone beyond the "Maintenance mode step" dont go back. Just wait. After a few minutes press retry and it should eventually complete. Repeat above until it gets to v27. After you get to v27. In admin/overview in nextcloud, check security setup and warnings and deal with any issues. Once it looks clean, if the update button is still there, try for one more update to v28. May or may not work. In the unraid nextcloud template lock the version to 28.0.0. Update the template, then check the logs. It should begin the new update method this time. Wait until it finishes and address any messages eg fixes to .conf files. After it has gone as far as possible with v28.x.x Change the unraid nextcloud template to v29.0.0. By now, you can probably update the mariadb docker. Check the logs in the mariadb docker. You may have to do an commandline update. The instructions will be in the logs. Repeat until it gets to v30. Once it is at 30, remove the version lock in the unraid nextcloud template and let it go to the latest version. Check the logs. Update any .conf files according to the logs. Log into nextcloud admin/overview and address any security & setup warnings. If the above crashed and burned, copy the backup from the nextcloud folder back to the nextcloud appdata and start again.

I use nano to edit conf files in Linux. Its a CLI tool. Hope that helps. @Geck0 Thanks. I'll give it a go..

It is the tool that I use to modify config.php and other files in the nextcloud distro, so thought that was relevant. I assume other users are doing the same. Other than SWAG it is the docker that I would use it most. Edited just now by Jessie

Well with the forthcoming demise of Windows 10, I have decided to leave Microsoft and go to a linux dist as my daily driver. I am currently experimenting with Zorin. I am endeavoring to find out what I cant do in Zorin that I could do in Windows. So far the change has been fairly painless. I do have one issue though. To edit .conf files in unraid/nextcloud I have been using notepad++. I like this app due to its ability to load multiple .conf files to copy/paste info between files. Does anybody know of a linux app equivalent to notepad++ ?

Thanks...
