Environment not properly prepared
I'm trying to deploy Nextcloud using Helm. First I tried it on my local machine (MacOS Big Sur) using Minikube (Kubernetes 1.21) and it was up and running in 5 minutes.. Unfortunately it will not succeed at work. I'm using there CentOS7 to eventually deploy Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster 1.21.
The error I retrieve: Environment not properly prepared in /var/www/html/lib/private/Console/Application.php:162. See image below:

My values.yml file looks like this:

Has this something to do with some config.php files I need to add?
Hoi!
I haven't actually seen this before, but others can chime in if they have. Could you test again with the current nextcloud helm chart version and values.yaml?
It looks like you're using 23.0.2-apache for your docker tag there, and we're currently on 25.0.3-apache.
(We need to update the commented image.tag param in values.yaml, but so you know, the template is configured to use the chart appVersion here: https://github.com/nextcloud/helm/blob/master/charts/nextcloud/Chart.yaml#L4)
It also looks like you're using securityContext which is now deprecated in favor of nextcloud.securityContext (for the nextcloud container) and nextcloud.podSecurityContext (for all containers in the nextcloud pod) which you can read more about here in the README and here: https://github.com/nextcloud/helm/pull/269
If you're still having the issue, I might ask that you enable a more verbose logging level with the following:
nextcloud:
configs:
# Log Levels: 0=DEBUG, 1=INFO, 2=WARN, 3=ERROR, 4=FATAL
logging.config.php: |-
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'log_type' => 'file',
'logfile' => 'nextcloud.log',
'loglevel' => 2,
'logdateformat' => 'F d, Y H:i:s'
);
Logging is explained a bit further here But you should be able to check the log from within the pod, and paste it back here.
Let me know if you have further questions! :)
Can you also try on k3s or kind?
Closing, as this Issue hasn't had activity in over a year, and I can't seem to reproduce it. If you, or anyone else in the community, is still having issues on the latest version of the helm chart (and Kubernetes), please feel free to open a new issue and we're happy to help you out. :) Kind regards!
