Where is the config.php for NextCloud app?

Hi @masorrell.

I am not using NextCloud on FB myself, but I had a similar requirement when I wanted to move my syncthing data directory to an external SSD.

As far as I understand, FB is simply running the official NextCloud docker image as a container. The container uses a local data directory /var/lib/nextcloud (cf. here). So moving & linking this elsewhere might be sufficient.

Here’s what I did for my syncthing folder:

  • Stop the service (from plinth or CLI)
  • Move all files from /var/lib/syncthing to a new folder on my external SSD
  • Make sure file and folder permissions are still correct
  • Create a symlink as /var/lib/synthing pointing to that new folder
  • Start the service again

That worked perfectly fine for me. Maybe it does for your scenario, too.

Cheers & HTH,
Axel
