Nextcloud v211225439 cannot be installed from scratch

1

Hi team,
after a complete removal of Nextcloud I cannot install it anymore. I have renamed the data folder (as /opt/disk/external/nextcloud_old) but there still remains something old in the DB that conflicts. See below.
Thanks in advance
Simone

Are you sure it is not installed, can you run this?

Do you use Users app, if yes how many users/groups do you have?
Do you have admin user/group?

ok, I was able to reproduce it, if you create users and then install Nextcloud it fails, please follow this issue: Unable to install Nextcloud, multiple lda group mappings · Issue #625 · syncloud/platform · GitHub

Do you use Users app, if yes how many users/groups do you have?

Yes, I had one group and 3 users.

Do you have admin user/group?

As far as I remember the only admin-like was the user with the same credentials of Syncloud. With that user you can create/delete users, groups, install/remove plugins, etc. Thanks

Could you try

snap install nextcloud --channel=master

Great job! It works fine. Thanks a lot :pizza: :pizza: :pizza:
