Why do i not see the version of the Nextcloud plugin anymore in the plugin section?

[ddaenen1]

This seems to be working for all other "official" plugins but for Nextcloud it states "N/A". Why?

A also don't see a version of latest and installed Nextcloud. Both are N/A. I wonder if it can negatively impact update process?

Currently, on 2nd March 2023, it does update to version 25.0.4

You can always see the available version by running the following:

Code:

iocage exec nextcloud pkg search nextcloud-php

* change nextcloud to the name of your jail.

Do those commands even work if you have installed NC as a plugin?

Works for me.
Plugins are basically jails that you don't create or control directly.

But what about update itself? Is it working and safe to update? (NC 25.0.2 installed. TrueNAS 13.04)

When you do the update with the update button from the plugin page on TrueNAS Core (not from Nextcloud web GUI), TrueNAS automatically create an automatic snapshot of your plugin jail before the upgrade. The name of this snapshot is something like this:
ioc_update_xxxx-RELEASE-xx_date_time

So, do the upgrade from your plugin page and if it didn't work and your plugin breaks down, first restart the plugin and check it again, if it's still broken then you can use this automatically created snapshot to restore your plugin to the version before the update.
First, find the name of the automatically created snapshot name. Assuming your pool name is "tank" and your plugin name is "nextcloud", the command would be:

Code:

zfs list -r -t snapshot -o name,creation tank | grep nextcloud | grep ioc_update | grep -v root

You see a list of all automatically created snapshots before the update. Something like this:

Note: my pool name is "Storage" and my jail name is "nextcloud"

Now looking at my above sample, let's say I want to restore to the latest snapshot before the upgrade which would be the:
ioc_update_13.1-RELEASE-p7_2023-03-02_10-59-23

the restore procedure would be something like this:

Code:

iocage stop "name of your jail"
iocage rollback -f -n "name of the chosen snapshot" "name of your jail"
iocage start "name of your jail"

So back to my above sample, the command would be:

Code:

iocage stop nextcloud
iocage rollback -f -n ioc_update_13.1-RELEASE-p7_2023-03-02_10-59-23 nextcloud
iocage start nextcloud

Again, make sure you are using your jail name and your discovered snapshot name.

Is there any other way to see available version? It's still showing N/A. Wonder if there is NC 26 available?

Nope. The latest plugin update is still at 25.0.4

Still, how and where to see current repository version?

Via Freshports.

E.g. nextcloud-php82 is at 26.0.0 for the quarterly ports/packages branch and 27.0.0 for the latest branch. You can easily upgrade via pkg if you run your own jail instead of the plugin, e.g. via @danb35's excellent script.
