Wrong locked states in Nextcloud

Date: [8th Oct 2025]

Random bug with Joplin or Nextcloud leaves stuff in a locked state and then spits our syncing errors. My specific scenario fix - manually disabling the locked states:

• Put Nextcloud in maintenance mode: edit config/config.php and change this line: 'maintenance' => true,

• Run mysql and issue DELETE FROM your-db-name.oc_file_locks WHERE true;

• Disable maintenance mode

Something is fishy with the cron jobs Nextcloud is running in the background. Will check later.

Update: Nextcloud is trash with Joplin. I've started using a self hosted Joplin Server instead.
