Cannot login in Nextcloud on NixOS

1

Hi,

with Services.Nextcloud = true; I get a running Nextcloud and the loginpage is reachable in my webbrowser. But I can’t login with the username and password set in the configuration. I tried adminpass an adminpassFile. Has the password to be hashed in any way?

Here my config:

{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
#  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
#    nextcloud
#  ];

  services.nextcloud = {
    enable = true;
    hostName = "www.myexampledomain.de";
    nginx.enable = true;
    https = true;
    config = {
      dbtype = "sqlite";
      dbuser = "nextcloud";
#      dbhost = "/run/postgresql"; # nextcloud will add /.s.PGSQL.5432 by itself
      dbname = "nextcloud";
      dbpassFile = "/etc/nixos/nextcloud-psql-pw";
#      adminpassFile = "/etc/nixos/nextcloud-pw";
      adminpass = "mysecretpassword";
      adminuser = "root";
    };
    # autoUpdateApps = true;
    autoUpdateApps.startAt = "23:30:00";
    maxUploadSize = "20G";
  };

  services.postgresql = {
    enable = true;
    ensureDatabases = [ "nextcloud" ];
    ensureUsers = [
     { name = "nextcloud";
       ensurePermissions."DATABASE nextcloud" = "ALL PRIVILEGES";
     }
    ];
  };

  # ensure that postgres is running *before* running the setup
  systemd.services."nextcloud-setup" = {
    requires = ["postgresql.service"];
    after = ["postgresql.service"];
  };

  services.nginx = {
    enable = true;
    virtualHosts = {
      "www.myexampledomain.de" = {
         forceSSL = true;
         enableACME = true;
         locations."/" = {
           root = "/var/www";
        };
      };
    };
  };

  networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 443 ];
}

Don’t see anything suspicious in the config, except for root = "/var/www" - why do you set that?

AFAIK adminpass takes plaintext password. What happens when you try to log in, do you get “Wrong username or password” or something else?

Ok,
the line starting with root= can be removed?
adminpass with plaintextpassword is the important information for me.
Yes I got an wrong-username-or-password errormessage.
I took a look at config.override.php and don’t found any password settings.
