Question: Is There a Way To Upgrade Nextcloud From 22.2.7~ynh1 To 25.0.2~ynh1?

[JAho]

My YunoHost server

Hardware: VPS bought online
YunoHost version: YunoHost 11.0.10.2 (stable)
I have access to my server Through SSH and through the webadmin
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : yes
If yes, please explain:

Debian version: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Yunohost version: YunoHost 11.0.10.2 (stable)

Status: Have just done migration: 0021_migrate_to_bullseye

Now attempting: To upgrade nextcloud from 22.2.7~ynh1 to 25.0.2~ynh1

FULL LOG as yunohost log paste available upon request. Not included here because it shows (unnecessarily) all users (usernames)

Please, note that before the above activity, there was a migration: Question: how to force a yunohost version update? - #3 by JAho

The only (upgrade) problem application (that I have currently) is the: nextcloud

[Aleks]

I’m not sure writing the entire title with caps lock is necessary …

Let’s check the output of apt remove php-igbinary php-redis

[JAho]

Oops, CAPS. Corrected.

The done deed as instructed has a CLI output as follows:

Should I actually answer: Yes, to the above?

[Aleks]

Hmmm we should investigate first why it wants to remove nextcloud and wallabag2 dependencies …

can you share the output of apt show nextcloud-ynh-deps and apt show wallabag2-ynh-deps ?

Then let’s try maybe:

apt install php-igbinary- php-redis- php7.4-igbinary

This will remove (cf the - prefix) php-redis (not needed by both apps?) and php-igbinary, but install php7.4-igbinary as a replacement

COMMENT-3: You need to reboot here your server again [see my recommended method above (the comment number 1)], because going now (after all the above) to your nextcloud (as a user through/by the yunohost nextcloud tile) will produce: internal server error…

NEXT TO DO: fix all the nextcloud applications [within the nextcloud applications handling interface itself] and after that (and reboot) trying the above shenanigans again.

Stay tuned for seeing the result.

SPOILER ALERT(S) FOR COMING SEQUEL:

nextcloud / settings / apps

There are updates available

==> Update all

If you get stuck (with automatic update) then do it by hand one by one from bottom up. Then you will find which one is the problem.

As to mail application: according the log (above) it is not compatible. Remove it from use (in the the nextcloud applications handling interface itself) and also do the actual remove. (in the the nextcloud applications handling interface itself)

If you mess up (I did…) doing something else, then remember: you have the backup of nextcloud in yunohost. You can restore it if nextcloud becomes unresponsive. (You have to remove nextcloud app first to be able to restore it…)

Why all this trouble? Why not just remove old nextcloud and then install the new version from scratch? Well, if you have many users, they might already have data in nextcloud…

Hi JAho,

I got somewhat the same symptoms, also without a resolution so far:

• Migrate from YNH 4.x to YNH 11
• Perform pending app upgrades
• Nextcloud does not want to run, and rolls back to 22.x

There’s a little trick to get more info about the upgrade: Yunohost keeps a detailed, anonymized log of all actions. Each section has a button that posts the whole log to Yunohost, where you can link to it.

Edit: here’s a screenshot of the location and the button:

The log of my failed upgrade is at https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/oqawolaqid

Around timestamp 18.07 there is the cause of my rollback, ‘RedisException’:

Is the same error to be seen in your log?

Edit: my upgrade was completed successfully after setting read-only config to false; this is how it now looks like:

# cat  /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php |grep only
  'config_is_read_only' => false,

ACTIVITIES NEEDED BEFORE THE NEXTCLOUD UPGRADE

Check that when in: https://yourdomain.tld/nextcloud/settings/apps there are no update(s) (available) blue buttons. [Note: you must be logged in to yunohost as the nextcloud admin user, after which you can then enter nextcloud through/by the yunohost nextcloud tile.]

Make the updates so that everything is “white”

As to mail application: according the log (above) it is not compatible. Stop it from use [a button to press](in the the nextcloud applications handling interface itself) and then also do the actual remove. [a second button to press] (in the the nextcloud applications handling interface itself)

Then logout (number-1) of yunohost [close your browser too] and do (gentle) reboot to your server. Wait for (at least) 5 minutes so that your server has completely rebooted.

[ssh-command/CLI => root:~# shutdown -r +3 Shutting down in 3 minutes! ]

After that check that you can log in to yunohost and that there: you can enter in to nextcloud through/by nextcloud tile. Why? The settings you have now will become the nextcloud backup when you do the CLI stuff (upgrade nextcloud) below.

Log out (number-2) of yunohost and close the browser. {Yes, this is a logout again, hence the number-2)

And now you will do the following CLI stuff.

IN SUMMARY:

• The whole shebang of upgrading nextcloud from 22.2.7~ynh1 TO 25.0.2~ynh1 takes appr 22+ minutes (a 5-minutes reboot included) in a relatively modest dedicated bare-metal server.
• In general: all applications should be updated (within nextcloud) before doing actual nextcloud update.
• The old mail-application in 22.2.7~ynh1 must be removed (or maybe disabled is enough?) before nextcloud update
• A new compatible mail-application (in my case seemed to be: version 2.2.2) in 25.0.2~ynh1 needs to be loaded and taken into use after the nextcloud update.

A SPECIAL NOTE:

While the above summary applies to anybody making nextcloud update from 22.2.7~ynh1 TO 25.0.2~ynh1 there might be also specific circumstances. In my special case the full solution needs also the previous activities (with Aleks) in this topic. See above items/conversations.

[And thus the quest was completed and the hero(es) reap the great reward…]

[JAho]

I had no need to look that. The CLI info and warnings were enough.

But yes, that log-facility is great. Especially if more accurate error hunting/sniffing is needed.

So the logs of all my attempts are available in the way you described, but in this situation I decided not show my users usernames unnecessarily for all to see.
