Nextcloud snap is designed to update (refresh) automatically by default.

You have full control to manage if and when your Nextcloud snap is updated with snapd daemon! See managing updates.

• See managing logs
• Run the debugging script

Snaps were designed to have a robust upgrade story. In the case of the Nextcloud snap, every time it refreshes (updates), it takes a snapshot of the database and other version-specific things (not the raw data though, e.g. pictures and documents) and holds them alongside the old revision of the snap.

sudo snap revert nextcloud

With that command, you should be back up and running right at the moment before the update happened.

This would be the perfect opportunity to create a complete Nextcloud snap backup including configuration, apps, certificates, database and data.

• stop Nextcloud snap sudo snap stop nextcloud
• save Nextcloud snap sudo snap save nextcloud
• start Nextcloud snap sudo snap start nextcloud
• copy/move snapshot (*.zip) in /var/lib/snapd/snapshots to wherever

A prevalent cause of auto-update issues is attributed to incompatible third party apps due to snap confinement. Any apps requiring access to executable binaries will cause auto-updates to fail since these are not included in the snap. Disabling the misbehaving apps usually resolves the auto-update issue. Sometimes apps can be re-installed or re-enabled after successful manual refresh (update)... but may recur during the next auto-update.

If your Nextcloud interface is unavailable or in Maintenance mode, you can disable apps using the management console or command line:

1. List apps: sudo nextcloud.occ app:list
2. Disable app: sudo nextcloud.occ app:disable <appname>
   • Remove app: sudo nextcloud.occ app:remove <appname>
3. Enable app: sudo nextcloud.occ app:enable <appname>

sudo snap refresh nextcloud
