Dietpi: redis-server error interferes with resetting of Nextcloud

[edo0]

Details:

• Date | Sat 21 Mar 15:59:18 CET 2020
• Bug report | 4c3ad55a-bcb4-4389-85b5-86813af122f9
• DietPi version | v6.28.0 (MichaIng/master)
• Image creator | DietPi Core Team
• Pre-image | Raspbian Lite
• SBC device | RPi 3 Model B+ (armv7l) (ID=3)
• Kernel version | Linux TheBox 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
• Distro | stretch (ID=4)
• Command | systemctl restart redis-server
• Exit code | 1
• Software title | DietPi-Software

Steps to reproduce:

1. Had an issue while updating Nextcloud, and my instance got broken
2. I tried restoring a Dietpi backup I had made, but afterwards realized it was too old and that lead to a series of issues (among which, expired certificate and more)
3. I decided to go for dietpi-software reinstall 114 to reinstall nextcloud. That, and subsequent attemps to remore and install again Nextcloud, always give me the error I am reporting

Expected behaviour:

• Reinstallation of Nextcloud should happen smoothly

Actual behaviour:

• The installation hangs with the reported error

Additional logs:

Job for redis-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status redis-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I thank wholeheartedly in advance whoever will be able to give me a hand troubleshoot this!!

Ah, the always-show-logo is not yet supported by the old Redis version on Stretch 🤔. Please do:

sed -i '/always-show-logo/d' /etc/redis/redis.conf
systemctl restart redis-server

EDIT: Ah good we already check for this, forgotten that this has been fixed here: #3314

[edo0]

Thank you, that did indeed solve it, and allowed me to finalize the reinstallation.

I was able to get the core of nextcloud up and running (WebDAV, CalDAV, Notes, App synchronization etc), but as of immediately after the installation, I still seem to have some issues with the web interface.

I link my nextcloud config file and attach a couple of screenshots

[MichaIng]

@edo0
Please try flush the browser cache (often crtl+f5).

[edo0]

Yes, I thought of that. Unfortunately, even flushing cache, opening in incognito, or on other laptop and mobile devices (mine and of my significant other), the interface is still broken.

[MichaIng]

@edo0
Hmm, the installer failed in the middle before?
Please try to reinstall Nextcloud, after removing the culprit:

sed -i '/always-show-logo/d' /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software
dietpi-software reinstall 114

[edo0]

@MichaIng
I have tried reinstalling again a couple of times, but the outcome is always the same. Passed the login, the web interface comes out as broken

[MichaIng]

@edo0
Did you enable any themes on Nextcloud or such?

[edo0]

No, I had actually disabled the provided Theming application

ADDENDUM: should not be related, had an "Unsplash pictures" theming app for the login window, but that is working fine even now and shouldn't have anything to do with the issue I am experiencing

[MichaIng]

@edo0
I checked your bug report and there are some more failing/conflicting services and some that I cannot see at all, even that their holding packages are installed 🤔:

systemctl disable --now dhcpcd
apt purge dhcpcd5

• Not required, failing, since conflicting with ifupdown+dhclient

systemctl disable --now wpa_supplicant

• The static service is not required, failing, since conflicting with ifupdown per-interface invocation

---

And in your bug report these were failing, are they now all up and running fine?

systemctl status redis-server
systemctl status php7.3-fpm
systemctl status nginx

[edo0]

I got rid of the first two services, rebooted, and confirmed that

● redis-server.service - Advanced key-value store
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/redis-server.service; disabled; vendor pr
eset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Sun 2020-03-22 18:30:37 CET; 1h 8mi

and

   Active: active (running) since Sun 2020-03-22 18:30:43 CET; 1h 8mi

[edo0]

However, the issue still persists

[MichaIng]

@edo0
Can you try to update Nextcloud:

sudo -u www-data /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar
ncc upgrade

[edo0]

Thank you so much @MichaIng .
That solved it for me, and now everything is back up and running!!

[MichaIng]

@edo0
Great, probably there was some mismatch with the installed version + database or similar.

[edo0]

Yes, that seems to have been the case!
