Description

The last 2 times I've used the updater I've been getting stuck here:

I have to manually click the "Retry" button like 16 million times and it completes, apparently fine, and checking the version when it's done shows it's the latest version. Any solution to this? I'm getting carpal tunnel in my right index finger. :p

I'm using the containerized version:

   nextcloud:
        # https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/nextcloud
        image: linuxserver/nextcloud:latest
        container_name: nextcloud
        hostname: nextcloud
        environment:
          - TZ='America/Chicago'
        volumes:
          - "scotts_nextcloud:/config" # Nextcloud Configs
          - "/i/Nextcloud:/data"       # Storage area
        restart: unless-stopped
        networks:
          - ocs
          - odb

Research direction

Start by reproducing the updater's “Move new files in place” step with the containerized Nextcloud setup shown in the issue. Investigate why the rename operation repeatedly requires pressing Retry; done means the update completes without repeated manual retries.
