Nextcloud from scratch...

[gideva]

Hi guys,

here is my problem…
I was installing Nextcloud on my server some weeks back but I had some issues and I had to wipe my appdata folder with all in it.
Today I started the installation again but apparently something is wrong since, every time I try to reinstall everything I get an error like the following (after I set up Mariadb and Nextcloud Docker and I try to create a new adminaccount): Username is invalid because files already exist for this user

I tried to change the username, the password and I also tried to reinstall everything again and again…
same problem. Any clue?

Thanks

cant comment on the problem, but why dont you just use sqlite. 

Unless you have some business type requirement, sqilite more than suffices.

Will give it a try. Thnx

if you are just starting from scratch, 

i was able to solve this problem by removing the  miradb docker

also removing the miriadb folder rmdir -r /mnt/user/appdata/mariadb/
