BUG: occ files:scan -> Exception during scan: NOAUTH Authentication required.

[schklom]

Hi,

Summary:

using redis with a password makes some occ commands bug.

Details

I recently reinstalled nextcloud from scratch (all volumes deleted) after deciding to use userns-remap on Docker. I deactivate the userns for nextcloud and the whole thing works as well as before, with one exception.

BUG:

$ docker exec -it nextcloud bash
I have no name!@3e615422f49e:/var/www/html$ php occ files:scan schklom
Starting scan for user 1 out of 1 (schklom)

Temporary fix

Disable the password in redis and adjust config.php.

Notes

The redis container works fine with a password for everything, except some occ commands

It seems like a nextcloud problem to me, but maybe I'm wrong.

Does anyone else have that problem and/or know how to fix it ?

Many thanks to all who try to help :)

I have the same issue, cannot execute commands like occ db:add-missing-indices and occ db:convert-filecache-bigint due to this thanks for the temporary workaround though

[veerendra2]

Any updates on this issue? I have similar issue while running occ in docker container

www-data@nextcloud:~/html$ php occ -h
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
RedisException: NOAUTH Authentication required. in /var/www/html/lib/private/Memcache/Redis.php:56

@veerendra2 For now at least, disable the Redis password, that should fix it.

[xsolinsx]

any news on this? it makes it impossible to check for real errors inside logs given that... and this is a low number compared to others I've seen previously

disabling redis password for nextcloud cannot be a long-term solution, this goes on since 2021

[joshtrichards]

Is this merely this? https://github.com/nextcloud/docker/issues/1608#issuecomment-1792600783

Keep in mind the image uses multiple config files, so merely looking at config.php isn't your true active config. You must use occ config:list system to get the merged configs.

[schklom]

@joshtrichards I did not use the config file to set the redis password, I used

    environment:
      REDIS_HOST_PASSWORD_FILE: /run/secrets/nextcloud_redis_pass
    secrets:
      - nextcloud_redis_pass

My understanding is this should be enough to get NC to use a Redis password. I can try again though.

[joshtrichards]

This does indeed appear to be a bug. The REDIS_HOST_PASSWORD_FILE is used when setting up the PHP session handling:

https://github.com/nextcloud/docker/blob/13f51c4f70676edb464ce5ea03631403b54623df/docker-entrypoint.sh#L108-L133

But it's not used in the .config/redis.conf.php:

https://github.com/nextcloud/docker/blob/13f51c4f70676edb464ce5ea03631403b54623df/.config/redis.config.php#L8

There is a new PR from @VesperiaArt that will likely fix this. Anyone on this thread may wish to manually test #2232 by replacing their config/redis.conf.php with the contents of the PR.

Note, upon merge, you'll still have to upgrade your config/ folder contents (in existing installations not new ones) since the image doesn't overwrite existing config/ contents for safety (hopefully we'll soon get a warning at container start-up if your config is out-of-date with the latest image contents - via #2120).

[calebjones]

I'm using the docker container with the REDIS_HOST_PASSWORD_FILE environment variable and I ran into this issue. I manually patched redis.config.php per the commit above and now occ doesn't have that issue.

[joshtrichards]

@calebjones Thanks for providing feedback on testing in your environment. It's appreciated. :)
