Looks like the required changes have already been added in bb59297 but a new release still has to be created.

beankylla · 2024-04-29T19:52:19Z

Hello,
if you had the app installed and group folders active the app does not work anymore in 29 and the group folders are then deleted from users machines
Is there a way to compile the app since it seems that the code has already been written ?

@beankylla I do not think that your problem is related to this issue here. I can still access group folders in NC 29 using the Desktop app 3.13.0 on macOS. In any case, this repository has nothing to do with the Desktop application so the answer to your question is "no".

Edit: but maybe I misunderstand and you are not talking about the Desktop application (?)

beankylla · 2024-04-30T20:16:27Z

Hi,
yes my bad i get the following error when trying to activaste it:
Error: This app cannot be enabled because it makes the server unstable
Will log this in a separate issue!
Thanks for the heads up!

jmechnich · 2024-05-01T12:05:22Z

After trying the current stable29 branch and getting a different error caused by #2910, I was able to get a working version based on bd47d01, just before the mentioned PR was merged.
In case it helps someone, here the created tarball: groupfolders-17.0.0-beta.1-stable29.bd47d012.tar.gz

gregjohnsonsaltaire · 2024-05-07T23:51:59Z

Feedback for future upgrading consideration:

Docker container was taken down and up during unrelated maintenance ... (compose down, compose up).
Nextcloud was upgraded to 29 and GF disabled without any warning.
May or may not be relevant - either shortly before or shortly after, MacOS clients were upgraded to Nextcloud desktop client 3.13.0 (users randomly upgraded on receipt of upgrade offer).
Because GF had been disabled, users had all synced folders removed from their desktop client (no warning) - a somewhat heart stopping experience.
groupfolders-17.0.0-beta.1-stable29.bd47d012.tar.gz installed and GF re-enabled, seems to be working.
Users now re-syncing 250GB+ each to regain access to missing folders on desktop clients.

Docker container was taken down and up during unrelated maintenance ... (compose down, compose up).

If you have nextcloud:latest configured for the image in your compose file you might consider replacing it by a specific tag/version and make a conscious decision to upgrade.
In my experience, it is a major source of pain to immediately upgrade to a new NC version in a production environment. It usually takes a few patch releases until the major issues are resolved.

Edit: I just noticed in the list of supported tags that there are also stable and production tags which still point to 28.0.5-apache.

gregjohnsonsaltaire · 2024-05-11T02:35:20Z

Hi, yes, thank you, of course, changed. Feedback just for info … many thanks for a great product.

Just to be sure, that one can be used on NC29? I do have the same error in the logs after upgrading to NC29 with the current 17.0.0-beta1.

If by "current 17.0.0-beta1" you are referring to the tarball from above, then yes. Just to be clear: this is not an official build and I am not a NC developer, just sharing what fixed my problems (for details about my setup see original issue on top of this page).

D3nnis3n · 2024-05-16T13:32:59Z

No, that beta is what I currently have installed and the issue appears with.

cpence · 2024-05-16T17:28:15Z

I am also getting the same error with the latest beta of groupfolders (not the build posted in this issue, but the currently released 17.0.0-beta1), on an NC29 server. I've tried deleting and recreating the background jobs, to no effect.

XueSheng-GIT · 2024-05-18T17:05:13Z

Updated to groupfolders 17.0 (NC 29) and still see that issue.

jmechnich · 2024-05-18T17:38:28Z

Updating to the official groupfolders 17.0.0 fixed the original error for me but created a new issue:

Updating to the official groupfolders 17.0.0 fixed the original error for me but created a new issue:

You are right. It's not the same issue. But the new one you mentioned.

prolibre · 2024-05-19T07:27:43Z

I've never seen as many problems as since the switch to version NC29 :-(
