Nextcloud Upgrade 33.0.0.16 to 33.0.2.2 not working

[michaelsaretz]

When updating from 33.0.0.16 to 33.0.2.2 nextcloud hangs at
"Aktualisierung erforderlich
Bitte den Kommandozeilen-Updater verwenden, die Browser-Aktualisierung ist in der config.php deaktiviert."

The installation is on a truenas scale system as app (docker based). Normally there is no user interaction needed. I tried occ upgrade -v. It does run successful but the website is still the same.
Maybe the value in DB is not changed by nextcloud? I am hanging. Please help!

occ upgrade:

occ upgrade -v

Ok, I found a workaround but it's not a fix. I edited versions.php and replaced all versions that are pointing t0 33.0.2.2 with 33.0.0.16. This worked immediatly.

I than did a rollback to 2.3.10 which is 33.0.0.16. This worked too. The update to 2.3.16 ended up in the same issue. NeedsDBUpgrade is true. Occ upgrade does not solve it.

I have opened an issue on truenas github too: truenas/apps#4765

Maybe the solution is between you.

<?php
$OC_Version = array(33,0,0,16);
$OC_VersionString = '33.0.0.16';

  'nextcloud' =>
  array (
    '32.0' => true,

  ),
