You are running Debian Bookworm, which is stil a testing Debian version. Actually Nextcloud is not supporting PHP 8.2 ootb.

There is a hack needed to get NC working on Bookworm. Please switch to our beta branch, as we have the workaround implemented there. Or wait for the upcoming release DietPi V8.14

Where can I find the beta image?

It’s not an image, just a different branch that can be activated on every system.

Following will bump you directly to Beta

G_DEV_BRANCH beta

I guess your issue is different. Pls open an own troubleshooting topic and fill the template.

Hey @kusared ,
which nextcloud version are you currently running. Probably you are on an older nextcloud version that doesn’t support php8.2! I had a similar situation, actually I was running on an older nextcloud and it didn’t show me that there is a newer version. After upgrading php manually, nextcloud showed a newer compatible version.
Perhaps this helps

I ran into exact same issue by upgrading from bullseye to bookworm today. Dietpi upgraded perfectly. However, nextcloud upgrade fails with error:
This version of Nextcloud is not compatible with PHP>=8.2.
You are currently running 8.2.7.
My nextcloud is an older version of 25.0.xx.

Found the fix here.

Yes you would need to be on latest NC version before going to update Debian. Unfortunately a limitation of NC.
