What type of hardware are you using: Virtual machine What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.11 (issue at time of upgrade from 11.3.0.2) What app is this about: NextCloud
Describe your issue
Per log heading summaries:
upgrade nextcloud – failed (my intended action)
remove nextcloud – failed
delete permission nextcloud – succeeded
restore nextcloud from archive – failed
remove nextcloud – succeeded
I’m not sure how to re-install or restore the last working version to re-attempt the upgrade pathway appropriately.
2025-01-25 18:00:40,562: DEBUG - + ynh_die '
Upgrading from Nextcloud < 22.2 is not supported anymore.
You should first upgrade to 22.2 using:
yunohost app upgrade nextcloud -u https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcloud_ynh/tree/41f5f902e7c7cd3c30a6793020562ba98b9bf3e9'
Would it be an option to
restore the backup on a temporary installation of Yunohost 11,
then upgrade to NC22.2 using the specific commit,
and then upgrade to NC29
create backup
restore on your actual server running Yunohost 12
and then upgrade to NC30
I suppose you have quite a bit of history in Nexctloud, after all this time. If it is mostly personal files, few users and low number/not too important fileshares, it may be worth considering installing a new Nextcloud 30 and occ files:scan on your data directory to import the files.
occ files:scan – tempting, very tempting. This would include data from extensions? I’m not recalling the architecture and data model of NC.
I could consider a YNH11 recovery flow, perhaps spin up a docker container for it. I’m not quite sure it’s worthwhile for me.
Extension of my process & thoughts
Yes, I tried to recover in the mean time. I’m seeing failures in the recovery script.
I have a not yet justified fear that they depended on ynh 11, but perhaps the warning from argument parsing is unrelated, whereas I’ve since completed an upgrade.

Info: Removing nextcloud…
I’m curious about a route forward of:
installing a current version
and importing data.
Or installing this targeted version and upgrading.
I’m now concerned I might’ve used some workaround for a previous issue with nextcloud. I uninstalled nextcloud manually from php7.3 but this restore is putting it into php7.4.
I’ll assess the size and complexity of my data – I don’t rely on NextCloud much, but a costly failure to migrate will only lessen that.
Next steps
I would like to install the current version and scan in files. The directory /home/yunohost.app/nextcloud/data still has data in it, I assume it’s all my files. The size matches the archive
Of 200 MB: 100MB is nextcloud.log.1, 50MB is nextcloud.log.
Yeah I’ll just move the directory, install current, and scan in files.
I would not have come up with this on my own, thank you.
Thanks for your friendly words, but it’s not a solution as much as a plan of attack
With Yunohost, users’ files are indeed stored in /home/yunohos.app/nextcloud/data/.
Do you mean the pre-upgrade backup by ‘the archive’? Without changes to the default though, Nextcloud is one of the apps for which BACKUP_CORE_ONLY is set, meaning that the data files are not included in the backup.
