Hmm maybe try to disable and fully reinstall the app? 

Could maybe be that you have wrong permissions on your nextcloud folders too...

[Alpha.Ars]

I'm having a permission problem. In the logs of nextcloud-cronjob I get this feedback

 

Cannot write into "config" directory!
This can usually be fixed by giving the web server write access to the config directory.

But, if you prefer to keep config.php file read only, set the option "config_is_read_only" to true in it.
See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/25/go.php?to=admin-config

 

Can someone guide me here ?

What's the owner of your nextcloud appdata folder and contents? Should be user/group 33, shows up as sshd on current unraid

right now it is  nobody users 

 

Should I:  chown -R user:33 ?

 

[Kilrah]

chown -R 33:33 yes

[Alpha.Ars]

hmmm well:
 

 

Di I have to edit my data dir too ?

 

[Alpha.Ars]

uhm wait. I tried it like tat and looks like it's working

docker exec -u root nextcloud chown -R 33:33 *



But I can't access the website

[Alpha.Ars]

docker exec -u root nextcloud chown -R 33:users * 
was the correct command. Thanks for you help!

Issue 2:  Picture files are very slow to load up, any way to speed that up?

 

If you're talking of generating the previews not really, if they're large images that's a lot of processing. There's a "preview generator" app in nextcloud apps that you can use to pre-generate them, might help.

 

----

I installed the preview generator and it says that I have to add this to a cron job "php /var/www/nextcloud/occ preview:pre-generate"  can i add this to the cron job docker that I downloaded for Nextcloud itself and if so do you know how I might be able to do that?  Sorry I am new to all of this. 

 

[Kilrah]

Maybe try to generate them once initially and see if that's helping you with speed, if so you can move on to making a custom cron script...

[bluepoet]

I can try that - guessing using the same command structure you have on the top of this - can't hurt to try - thank you.

Reinstalling (two times) helped. It seems that Node.js binary was not downloaded completely or could not be decompressed. Thank you very much!

Added info about using Redis caching for performance improvements in 2nd post

I'm surprised I didn't see this mentioned yet, but is it possible to expose a GPU to this container? I'm desperately trying to find a way to expose my Quadro P400 to Nextcloud so I can enable hardware trasncoding in Memories.

Looks like what you were answered in  https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/1525

also applies here, ffmpeg on debian not being built with nvenc support either.

I didnt know that, but now that I think about it Debian is one of the 100% Foss distros so that makes sense.

Thanks for pointing that out, I actually hadn't seen the latest reply yet.

 

So unless I'm missing something, it looks like my only option is a VM if I want HW transcoding, especially nvenc. I cant think of a single Docker image I haven't tried in the last 2 weeks.

[Kilrah]

Most likely. Since it is one app from a third-party developer I doubt nextcloud themselves are going to go through the rabbit hole of adding a lot of dependencies to enable that to their containers...

I'm realy struggeling with the permissions for the Nextcloud cron.
Can't run with the nextcloud basic config. When I run this command "docker exec -u root nextcloud chown -R 33:users * "
the cron works... but then I'm unable to access nextcloud  

 

Unable to write to the "config" directory!

This problem is usually solved by giving the web server write access to the configuration directory. Or, if you prefer to keep the config.php file read-only, set the "config_is_read_only" option to true. See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/25/go.php?to=admin-config

 

when I run: "docker exec -u root nextcloud chown -R 99:users * "

I do have access on nextcloud but the script can't access (just like in the begining)

 

I was able to fix it once in the past but then I had no access to the nextcloud appstore.

 

Do you have any hint ?

 

[Kilrah]

Hmm could be not just the owner but also the r/w permissions?

Thanks.

i have the same issue, anyone know how to fix it?

[Kilrah]

Have you checked the answer? 

This is an issue on the nextcloud side, not cronjob (and the cron job should be ran fine despite the warning)

Having this same exact issue. Using knex666's docker image of nextcloud. 

 

Setting permissions to 33:users lets the cron docker image run the script, but then the nextcloud container can't access anything. Switching permissions back to 99 gives nextcloud access, but then the cron docker image doesn't work.

[Kilrah]

2 options:

1) Change the user in the advanced settings of the cronjob container to 99:

 

 

2) remove the --user 99:100 in Extra Parameters of the knex666 template, then on unraid terminal 

chown -R 33:33 /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud/ (or your folder)

 

It should then work fine.

Did option 1. Had to change the perms for the data folder & contents to 99 since, for whatever reason, it was set to 33. Works now. 

 

Thanks

First of all, thank you for providing such an excellent project.

Now I facing an tricky issue which may need your help. I want to modify the max upload file size. I have tried to modify it in both Nextcloud/.user.ini and php.ini, but it doesn't work. Can you tell me how to modify the max upload file size in your project please? Thank you!
