Description

This is after nextcloud aio's previous latest update, hoped that it would be fixed this update, no change, and I think full text search went from Elasticsearch 26 to 28? had to do something manually to get to 28, can't remember what.
The reindexing seems to go okay, but it hits 2 of these errors:
2026-07-08T02:22:35.199315303Z ┌─ Errors ────
2026-07-08T02:22:35.199317123Z │ Error: 1/1

2026-07-08T02:22:35.199322908Z │ Message: unknown error

Nothing in fulltextsearch container log at this timestamp to indicate what happened. how can I figure this out?

Research direction

Start with the fulltextsearch container logs around the reported 2026-07-08T02:22:35Z error and compare them with the Elasticsearch logs for index files:684154. Check the reported Elasticsearch version change from 26 to 28 and the restart-triggered reindexing behavior. Done means identifying the cause of the unknown error and determining whether it causes unnecessary reindexing.
