Error message : Update needed

Error message;  (when loading nextcloud frontend)

Update needed
Please use the command line updater because updating via browser is disabled in your config.php.


After updating Nextcloud to new version, it gave me that error message. 

Basically, you need to update the database to work with the new version. Here is how to do that. 

. Access the Nextcloud Container

    Find your Nextcloud container name or ID:
      Find your container name "docker ps"

      Look for the container running nextcloud:30 (or whichever version).

        Access the container’s shell:
        docker exec -it <nextcloud_container_name> bash

        Run the Updater

          Inside the container, switch to the www-data user (Nextcloud’s default user): (this may not work. you may not need it anyway).
          su - www-data

          Navigate to the Nextcloud directory (usually /var/www/html): (you might be there already)
          cd /var/www/html

           

          Run the occ command to perform the update:
          php occ upgrade

          If that worked, great! your dont with the update.

          The first time I did this, it did not work. 
               You may need to take it off of maintenance mode in order to try it again.
