nextcloud
cron.sh does not actually run any job
Steps to reproduce
- Use
/cron.shas documented here
Expected behaviour
Cron jobs are expected to be executed.
Actual behaviour
0 cron jobs are ran: select count(*) from jobs; always returns the same value.
Workaround
Running cron.php manually in the app container works as expected:
docker-compose -f /srv/nextcloud/docker-compose.yml exec -u www-data app php -f cron.php

Ok, I found that if you use the image: nextcloud:apache for cron instead image: nextcloud:23.0.0 it works.
I have somewhat the same issue. I say somewhat because as opposed to this issue, I can't get any error logs or anything (even with the log set up to debug level as instructed by documentation). All I get, for google integration at least, are normal cron logs with no errors whatsoever and still the import for photos won't work (won't actually start importing photos). It'll just delete the job record from the DB, make a request to google (as I can see in the gcp dashboard) and continue like there's no issue. For me this started after a memory allocation issue (not enough memory).
Hi @JMLX42 - I'm unable to reproduce the problem you reported unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it - hah).
That first error indicates your cron container can't write to your log file (presumably data/nextcloud.log). The second error suggests that when the cron container checked your config file it didn't find an entry for installed that was set to true. Which is certainly weird since both your cron and app containers are (from your provided compose) supposedly using the same underlying volumes.
The main situation where I can think of where this might not have been the case - is if the cron container was ever started without those volumes listed. Unless the container was completely removed and re-added again, the prior configuration may have persisted despite what's in your Compose file (unless until the underlying host went through a full reboot anyway).. That's just a wild guess though.
Note, you can also exec into your cron container as well to test like you did on your app container. That would be informative. I'd also be curious what your config.php contains from within the cron containers perspective. It should be exactly the same as the app server per your Compose file.
You have sort of a weird bind mount setup:
volumes:
- /mnt/nextcloud/html:/var/www/html
- /mnt/nextcloud/custom_apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps
- /mnt/nextcloud/config:/var/www/html/config
- /mnt/nextcloud/data:/var/www/html/data
Since custom_apps, config, and data are all contained under /mnt/nextcloud/html already on your host, their specification here isn't serving a purpose.
Normally you'd only have all these separate if either they weren't in the same file hierarchy on your underlying host - e.g.
volumes:
- /mnt/nextcloud/html:/var/www/html
- /home/jmlx/nextcloud/custom_apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps
- /home/jmlx/nextcloud/config:/var/www/html/config
- /home/jmlx/nextcloud/data:/var/www/html/data
.... or if you were using named volumes (which is my best explanation why I keep seeing people end up with mount structures like this... if they're taking the named volumes from the examples than converting them to bind mounts without realizing it) - e.g. this is a typical named volume setup if dedicated volumes are desired for each of those mount points:
volumes:
- nextcloud-html:/var/www/html
- nextcloud-custom_apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps
- nextcloud-config:/var/www/html/config
- nextcloud-data:/var/www/html/data
Closing due to lack of further info.
I would focus on this suggestion:
Note, you can also exec into your cron container as well to test like you did on your app container. That would be informative. I'd also be curious what your config.php contains from within the cron containers perspective. It should be exactly the same as the app server per your Compose file.
