Unable to reinstall nextcloud on TrueNAS because its running in shell

[barryx27]

Hello all,

I have the following problem: I had uninstalled the Nextcloud plugin on my TrueNAS system and then wanted to reinstall it.

But now I can't install it anymore because I get the following error message: Error: nextcloud had a failure Exception: JailRunning Message: nextcloud is already running! Partial plugin destroyed

Has anyone had this problem before? How did you solve it? Is it possible to stop nextcloud with a shell command? If so, which command?

I would be very grateful! Sorry, I'm very new to NAS and I'm not really fit with command lines.

iocage list

Is there a jail called nextcloud in that list?

If so:

iocage stop nextcloud

iocage destroy nextcloud

then install your plugin.

If so:

iocage stop nextcloud

then install your plugin.

Thanks for your reply and ideas! Unfortunately the jail name nextcloud was removed during installation. So it is no longer listed.

If you are going to rebuild it anyway, I assume your jail and data is gone. Hopefully you have a backup.

I would highly recommend installing it using this script.

Scripted installation of Nextcloud 28 in iocage jail

Status: This script will run with TrueNAS CORE 13. It's possible, but untested, that it will work with FreeNAS 12. Earlier versions are not supported. There are a number of guides on the forum to install Nextcloud, but they all rely on a lot of...

I started using this over plugins. Way more efficient and allow for jail rebuilding without having to move or lose your data when destroying the old one.

I do not recommend using the plugin for running Nextcloud if it is running any production data as like what Victor had pointed out the data is gone if you have any issues with the Jail. After doing much research I always use the manual route for Installing Nextclould as detailed in this post.

In addition the security of the Plugin installation may not be as robust as what you get with the manual install
