Perl is now a requirement. I am sorry. But it has to do with maintenance and security.
is there a link or document on how I can install perl?
What OS/platform are you running Nextcloud on? If you have Ubuntu or another Debian-based distro, you can do it with "sudo apt-get install perl". Most linux distros have perl already installed so in usually there is nothing you need to do.
I'm on an unraid server that I built so I'm using their next cloud docker
as far as sudo goes can I just use the terminal inside unraid to run the command?
@rebel22lax If you are using docker then I would suggest you use the official nextcloud image as that has perl built-in.
If you really want to use your existing container you can run "apt-get update && apt-get install perl" inside the docker container but you will loose those changes whenever the container is recreated...
so after doing my googles I learned that for the unraid nextcloud docker I needed to be using apk
so using my limited terminal knowledge I came across the right command line which is
sudo apk add perl
I then logged into my next cloud and was able to enable the camera raw plugin and it works so thank you @ariselseng together we got it done and I hope this helps anyone else like me.
@rebel22lax Good you got it going. Just a reminder: If you upgrade/recreate the docker container you will loose your changes. I strongly recommend using the official nextcloud container.
@ariselseng I'm not sure how I tie that into my unraid system. because sometimes unraid will say nextcloud has an update or I can log into nextcloud itself and see that there is an upgrade which I did today. So is it as easy as running "sudo apk upgrade update" ? and I wont have to worry in the future
No I do not think it does work like that. If unraid is making a new nextcloud image (which I think it does) perl will need to be reinstalled every time. You cannot upgrade nextcloud with apk.
I recommend you use the official docker image or you ask the maintainer of the the unraid one to include perl for new releases.
I cant reinstall either, getting the error
This app cannot be installed because the following dependencies are not fulfilled: The command line tool perl could not be found
I'm on the latest stable version of nextcloud
