1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

Usually there are two ways to fix this:

A) Configure your database server to support utf8mb4 (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_database/mysql_4byte_support.html).

B) If the database server does not support utf8mb4, disable it by setting 'mysql.utf8mb4' => false, in config.php (emojis in filename, calendar events, etc. are not possible than and you have to accept the warning).

What happens for most people is: They change the maria/mysql configuration temporary to enable utf8mb4 but forget to write the changes to the configuration file. The next time a update is installed the sql server is restarted and the temporary configuration changes are lost. Some weeks later they try to upgrade Nextcloud and run into those utf8mb4 errors again.
