Hello, I just updated Nextcloud to version 35. I noticed that Nextcloud is showing an error: `Database configuration: 1 database check is failing` I find this message/warning inappropriate because I did not (intentionally) enable this option. So this is not a configuration issue but rather a choice I made for a small instance. ![nextcloud_database](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/1/114b1ed6ea4ad7581bd11f0096331f420f9b3797.jpeg) Do you know if there’s a way to turn off this message? Thank you, and have a great day, Anthony ---

I’m seeing the same on a test instance running Debian 13 with MariaDB 11.8 from the MariaDB repositories, and I would assume this is a bug or a false positive in this check. I checked the following: ```sql SHOW REPLICA STATUS\G -- Empty set SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G -- Empty set SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Slave_running'; -- Slave_running | OFF SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Slave_IO_Running'; -- Empty set SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Slave_SQL_Running'; -- Empty set SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'read_only'; -- read_only | OFF SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_bin'; -- log_bin | OFF SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'server_id'; -- server_id | 1 ``` I’m not a MariaDB expert, but to me this looks like a normal standalone server with no replication configured. `SHOW REPLICA STATUS` and `SHOW SLAVE STATUS` return no replication configuration, `read_only` is disabled, and binary logging is disabled as well. I therefore suspect that the check incorrectly assumes that a replica must be configured simply because the `Slave_running` status exists, and then interprets the returned `OFF` as an error. As far as I understand it, however, `Slave_running` can also be present in a standalone setup and simply return `OFF` when no replication or replicas are configured at all, and therefore should not be treated as an error. ---

BTW, I just found that someone has already filed a bug report on GitHub: [[Bug]: Serverinfo reports a stopped replica when no MariaDB replication is configured · Issue #64473 · nextcloud/server · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/64473) ---

I am running a three node MariaDB Galera Cluster on Nextcloud 35, and I am getting the same issue. By the way the issue has not been resolved just reported, hence why I am adding my two pence worth. ---

By the way, as far as I know, anyone can mark a post in a forum thread as ‘solution’, so if you have any new information or a solution to the acual issue, you can post it here and then mark your post as the solution. ---
