How to fix Nextcloud

Step … is currently in process. Please call this command later.

Problem

While trying to update Nextcloud using the command line (e.g. SSH) using a command like

fix-nextcloud-step-is-currentlyprocess-please-call-this-command-later.sh              
php updater/updater.phar

you see the following error message:

fix-nextcloud-step-is-currentlyprocess-please-call-this-command-later.txt               
Nextcloud Updater - version: v20.0.0beta4-11-g68fa0d4
Step 5 is currently in process. Please call this command later.

Solution

No matter if the step that appears to be currently in progress is Step 3, Step 5 or any other step, the solution is always the same: Reset the update by deleting the data/updater-occ[random-string] folder.

Recommended

If you are paranoid about losing data, just rename the directory:

fix-nextcloud-step-is-currentlyprocess-please-call-this-command-later.sh               
mv data/updater-occ* ../DELETEME-updater

Not recommended

You can also just delete the directory

fix-nextcloud-step-is-currentlyprocess-please-call-this-command-later.txt                
rm -rf data/updater-occ*
