Cron not installed

Expected Behavior

Installation should run properly.

Current Behavior

Nextcloud appears to install (from adding users to starting services). However after the services start, there is an error that prevents Nextcloud from completing.

This is the error:

nextcloud | Exception: Not installed in /config/www/nextcloud/lib/base.php:277
nextcloud | Stack trace:
nextcloud | #0 /config/www/nextcloud/lib/base.php(649): OC::checkInstalled()
nextcloud | #1 /config/www/nextcloud/lib/base.php(1087): OC::init()
nextcloud | #2 /config/www/nextcloud/cron.php(43): require_once('/config/www/nex...')
nextcloud | #3 {main}

Steps to Reproduce

Here is my docker-compose file:

version: '3'
networks:
  web:
    external: true
services:
  nextcloud:
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/nextcloud
    container_name: nextcloud
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/Toronto
    networks:
        - web
    labels:
        - traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.rule=Host(`cloud.domain.com`)
        - traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.tls=true
        - traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.tls.certresolver=lets-encrypt
        - traefik.http.services.nextcloud.loadbalancer.server.scheme=https
        - traefik.http.services.nextcloud.loadbalancer.server.port=443
        - traefik.port=443
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./config:/config
    depends_on:
      - nextcloud_db
  nextcloud_db:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/mariadb
    container_name: nextcloud_db
    environment:
        - PUID=1000
        - PGID=1000
        - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
        - TZ=America/Toronto
        - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud #optional
        - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud #optional
        - MYSQL_PASSWORD=password
    volumes:
      - /db:/config

This appears to be reported earlier in issue #203

Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the bug or feature issue templates!

[j0nnymoe]

Is there anything special about where you're storing /config mount? Any sort of remote mounts, unionfs mounts can cause issues with this.

[tourshi]

No, nothing special. Just an empty directory. This is all a fresh install.

Thanks

[j0nnymoe]

Could you at least provide the full path you're using please?

[tourshi]

The full path would be: /var/www/cloud/config/

P.s. I also tried fresh install without specifying the ./config directory incase it's a permissions issue...but that also resulted in the same error.

[j0nnymoe]

Try using your home folder, if that works, it'll show it's permissions issues.

/home/username/nextcloud/config

[tourshi]

Thanks @j0nnymoe , I tried that but still no gravy. The issue seems to be with cron but as mentioned in #203 apparently cron is installed in the system already.

[j0nnymoe]

Yep it is installed and can confirm it works as expected. When errors like this come up it, it's normally permissions issues.

I face the same kind of issue ; logs on my side are as follows.

After which the same last six line happen roughly every 5 minutes.

Mydocker-compose.yml is very similar to @tourshi 's.

The full path on my side is /home/ambre/zero/daisaaba/.

As a reference, I use both an autoconfig.php and a config.php to configure the Nextcloud instance.

I suspect this error prevent my instance from finishing its configuration. Have you found any workaround / fix ?
