nextcloud installation has a little flaw regarding integrated help

[danb35]

I can confirm the issue, but I'm kind of at a loss to figure it out. Those links in the sidebar go to $FQDN/settings/help/{user|admin}. When I compare it to the Nextcloud installation I actually use (which doesn't use Caddy, doesn't run under FreeBSD, and doesn't have pretty URLs configured), that system has links to $FQDN/index.php/settings/help/{user|admin}, and it works.

I figured the obvious solution would be to add it in the big rewrite block (starting at line 69 of the Caddyfile), by adding if {path} starts_with /settings/help. But when I tried that, it broke the whole installation. More investigation will be called for.

Okey, this report is too vague, so let me explain:
If you click "help" in the Nextcloud Menu, it opens a menu on the right with:

• User docs
• Admin Docs
• Docs
• Forum

Normally these should open help pages on the right (main content window) of nextcloud.
I can confirm they don't.

The help-page in the main-content windows of nextcloud, gets forwarded to the default page thats set if page-not-found (in my case the main files windows):

I think this is caused by a missing caddy forward in this script, could you check @danb35 ?

@danb35 Did you happen to look into what is missing in caddy that might cause this?

Since Caddy v1 is aggressively EOL, I'm working on migrating to Caddy v2. And though this issue wasn't at all a focus of the migration, Caddy v2 does seem to fix it. Check out the caddyv2 branch if you're brave.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll check it as soon as this is the new stable version. Nice when bugs disappear without actively fixing them. :-)
