@Superharz Hi, thanks for your bug report!

We have successfully reproduced this error, will figure out why it happens and provide a solution as soon as it becomes known.

@Superharz Good catch. Figured out what's a problem.

I didn't know about custom app directories configuration.

Will be fixed in the next MediaDC update.

If you don't want to wait for an update, you can edit manually some files. Before that check your config file (nextcloud/config/config.php => 'apps_paths', if you haven't changed it there should be custom_apps directory for other apps)

In a file nextcloud/[your custom_apps directory according to config]/mediadc/lib/Migration/AppDataInitializationStep.php on line 53 change '/apps/' to your directory ('/custom_apps/'):

$data_file = getcwd() . '/apps/' . Application::APP_ID . "/lib/Migration/data/app_data_Version0001Date20210627153636.json"; to $data_file = getcwd() . '/custom_apps/' . Application::APP_ID . "/lib/Migration/data/app_data_Version0001Date20210627153636.json";

and in a file nextcloud/custom_apps/mediadc/lib/Service/PythonService.php on line 50 change:

$this->cwd = getcwd() . '/apps/' . Application::APP_ID . '/lib/Service/python'; to $this->cwd = getcwd() . '/custom_apps/' . Application::APP_ID . '/lib/Service/python';

Make sure that you have python3 and distutils installed (maybe needed additional docker configuration). If you find some other issues or questions, feel free to write here.

Tried out your changes. Works like a charm. Thanks :)

I had to manually install python and pip in the container. But now it works.
