Nextcloud complications

[Jon Homer]

Hi folks,

just setup bubble after a long break and all was going well until I decided to setup nextcloud & now my remote library has lost the minidlna tag and says :root and doesn't give any files to select.

Has anyone had issues with nextcloud conflicting with bubbleupnp?

I also have syncthing running on the same ubuntu box which also uses upnp but that is working just fine.

Any help or comments gratefully received.

Hi,

I suppose you run 'BubbleUPnP Server' on the same Ubuntu box than nextcloud, for accessing minidlna remotely (not from your home network) ?

In any case, BubbleUPnP Server can run alongside nextcloud as they are entirely unrelated. Maybe restart minidlna and verify in BubbleUPnP Server

web UI that minidlna is listed.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm running bubbleupnp server and have restarted server & minidlna after which i am able to rejoin remotely. however after some time (maybe half an hour) when I try again I get the error "The remote server could be joined but failed authentication. Check that your login and password are correct". If I then re-enter my details it will test successfully and then work again. So it seems I must keep renewing my login?

I have also noticed that nextcloud does not specify a port (or not that I can see) it just connects to "localhost" also in my router settings the page for "UPnP port mapping list" keeps changing, sometimes it will list syncthing and sometimes blank.

As Syncthing also uses UPnP maybe this is where the problem lies?

Can you confirm you connect to BubbleUPnP Server on http://<public ip or hostname of Ubuntu machine>:58050  (or if connecting via https: https://<public ip or hostname of Ubuntu machine>:58051) ?

Hi, yes absolutely. I'm using a no-ip domain but that seems to be working ok.

However yesterday lunch time the problem seemed to resolve itself, all afternoon & evening I didn't have any problems.

Will review again today and see how things go, if the problem reappears I guess I'll start removing things, nextcloud first.

Just as a closure to my post, the problem continued intermittently for a few days so I decided to remove nextcloud as an experiment.

Instant solution & no problems since. I was going to predict the problem was with Syncthing as it also uses UPnP for discovery but that is still running fine.

Nextcloud was only an experiment anyway, I wasn't using it seriously so no loss to me.

Happy to have bubble reliable again.
