checking the ocis version returns Failed to connect to NATS Server

[nabim777]

Describe the bug

According to the document while installing ocis by binary set up, the output comes different while using the command ocis version

Expected behavior

something similar to:

$ ocis version

Version: 5.0.0-beta.2
Compiled: 2023-12-20 00:00:00 +0000 UTC

No running services found.

Actual behavior

Tested on

OCIS version : 5.0.0-beta.2

Cannot reproduce locally. It works with the default setup.

When nats is not running on the standart port you need to set MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS . How did you set up ocis? Anything special you set?

How did you set up ocis? Anything special you set?

It should be binary from https://download.owncloud.com/ocis/ocis/testing/5.0.0-beta.2/?sort=time&order=asc
Also, I built the latest ocis from git and same error with command ./ocis/bin/ocis version

sometimes while running ocis server as well. See #7838

I can reproduce it in two cases

• ocis is not running
• ocis is in startup and nats is not available jet

[saw-jan]

The ocis version cmd listed all services by default. This is not always intended,
so we allow to skip the listing of the services by using the --skip-services flag.

We must use --skip-services to only check the versions string

$ ./ocis version --skip-services
