curl-installer fails on systems without either systemd-resovled or resolvconf

[Schniefel]

When trying to install nextcloudpi via the curl-script on a freshly flashed Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm) i get the following error:

Update: I was able to install nextcloudpi by running apt install systemd-resolved before running the script

[vcbranco]

Is also a problem with the curl installation on Debian 12 x86_64.

[vcbranco]

In my case, all I had to do was install systemd-resolved, configure the dns server address and then run the script.
The curl installation was done correctly.

[Schniefel]

I haven't even configured a dns-server.

[vcbranco]

I had to configure the address of the dns server because after installing systemd-resolved I restarted the server and was left without dns.
It probably wouldn't have been necessary to configure the dns if I ran the script without restarting the server after installing the package. But I haven't tested that.

[Schniefel]

right, a restart fixed it for me

[darguez]

When I tried to install nextcloudpi on my Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit Debian 12 (bookworm) via curl script:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/master/install.sh | sudo bash
I got the same error: Unit systemd-resolved.service could not be found

So, I manually installed the missing package apt install systemd-resolved but I missed DNS with the change and I had to manually add DNS in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. Also I had to drop the ncp created mysql database sudo mysqladmin drop nextcloud to start over with ncp installation script.

Then the installation went on, but finished with a weird sql error (not sure if the script finished at all): Table "nextcloud.appconfig" doesn't exist

However, I checked ncp installation by accessing https://my-ip/ and the web installer was working, so after the initial setup everything seemed to work fine.

The only thing that wasn't work properly was letsencrypt, because after enabling it (without errors), the certificate was not updated, so I had to edit apache2 site config file to set the correct paths to the certificates in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-nextcloud.conf.

And now everything seems to work fine.

[darguez]

And now everything seems to work fine.

Well, I've just realized the HPB service is always down, so something went wrong with installation after all... Also there is no /var/www/nextcloud/apps/notify_push folder and command /occ notify_push:setup returns:

There are no commands defined in the "notify_push" namespace.

It seems "Client Push" app was not installed, so after installing it from appstore and executing occ notify_push:setup HPB service is up now

[ovpc]

I have same issue on Proxmox VM with installer
script ends with: Failed to stop resolvconf.service: Unit resolvconf.service not loaded
When i install resolv.conf it breaks the dns and apt canot connect anymore

[vcbranco]

You can configure the systemd-resolved to have DNS.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/442598/how-to-configure-systemd-resolved-and-systemd-networkd-to-use-local-dns-server-f

Edit: You can just set up the DNS

[ovpc]

Ran curl installer again (on a clean install) to reproduce and get and save full output
System is running in Proxmox VM
I used debian-12.5-amd64-netinst.iso installed basic system tools and ssh. After reboot installed curl net-tools and sudo, before running installer.
ncp-installer-log.txt

Can confirm after installing resolvconf the installer completed fine

[m-breitbach]

Encountering same problem on fresh install (RaspberryPi OS Lite, arm64, Bookworm). Any plans to fix the install script?

[e8johan]

Can confirm on a fresh version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit), release date 2024-07-04.

[e8johan]

I had another go tonight. Started from a fresh RaspberryPi OS Lite (64-bit) image, then applies the following tricks to covert to systemd-networkd (over wlan0): https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/108592/use-systemd-networkd-for-general-networking . Finally, I ran the nextcloudpi install script and ran into the following (new) error:

E: Held packages were changed and -y was used without --allow-change-held-packages.

I can see where the holding comes from, but also got the impression that systemd-resolved and avahi-daemon sort of, kind of, did the same job, so I was surprised to see the mix of avahi-daemon and systemd-resolved.

[e8johan]

So, third try it is. I did exactly what I did above, except holding avahi-daemon. Now it seems to work. I'm activating NextCloudPi right now. :-)

[theCalcaholic]

@e8johan Glad to hear you made it work.

Out of curiosity: is there a reason why using the official NCP image for RPi 5 was not an option?

[e8johan]

I guess two parts: first reason is that I did that last time installing NextCloudPi (on a 32-bit install on a Pi3), second reason is the feeling of control - having the user and ssh keys that I'm used to from start, instead of having to add that afterwards for that seamless ssh admin experience ;-)

[HervePruvost]

@e8johan Glad to hear you made it work.

Out of curiosity: is there a reason why using the official NCP image for RPi 5 was not an option?

In my case, I don't use the headless OS but rather the RaspberryPi OS Full with the desktop environment. The NCP image comes with the headless OS only.

So that is practical for me to be able to install NCP ad-hoc afterwards. Instead of having to reinstall desktop environment and related packages separately.

[ksd73429udmn]

Are you still planning to make the curl script work some day? It would also help me a lot.

[theCalcaholic]

@ksd73429udmn I do, after NC 30 support

[HervePruvost]

@ksd73429udmn I do, after NC 30 support

Is there an approximate timeline for this?

[theCalcaholic]

@HervePruvost There's an approximate timeline for the NC29 update (should arrive until the end of next week). Other than that, I can't give an ETA

[wulfsystems]

Hi guys,
is there something new?

[Schniefel]

Nextcloud 30 is available, when can we expect support for it and this bug fix?

[remz1337]

@theCalcaholic I tested the latest patch and issue persist. Script fails after installing systemd-resolved

@remz1337 A fix for this issue (along with NC 30 support) is in devel. Can you try running the installer like this?

BRANCH=devel DBG=x bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/master/install.sh)

[theCalcaholic]

Should be fixed with v1.55.3

[remz1337]

Tested and can confirm the issue is now fixed. Thanks
