I would like to share for those who did not know.
you can configure your Nextcloud installation with seperate config(s).php
create a file setting-name.config.php starting with
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
);
and put your settings after ( and before );
For example you have your default config.php that contain all your settings. To make your config.php clearer you can take all the database settings and put them in a separate config names database.config.php
the file database.config.php would look like
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'dbtype' => 'mysql',
'dbname' => 'nextcloud',
'dbhost' => 'localhost',
'dbport' => '',
'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
'dbuser' => 'DB_USERNAME',
'dbpassword' => 'DB_PASSWORD',
'mysql.utf8mb4' => true,
);
Remove these copied settings from config.php
another example: redis.config.php
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'filelocking.enabled' => true,
'memcache.locking' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
'redis' =>
array (
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 6379,
),
);
I give you one more for mail.config.php
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'mail_smtpmode' => 'sendmail',
'mail_from_address' => 'cloud',
'mail_domain' => 'domain.tld',
'app.mail.imaplog.enabled' => 'true',
'mail_smtpauthtype' => 'LOGIN',
'mail_smtphost' => 'smtp.domain.tld',
'mail_smtpport' => '587',
'mail_smtpsecure' => 'tls',
'mail_smtpauth' => 1,
'mail_smtpname' => 'MAIL_USERNAME',
'mail_smtppassword' => 'MAIL_PASSWORD',
);
custom.config.php
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'theme' => 'Theme1',
'default_phone_region' => 'NL',
'defaultapp' => 'files',
'knowledgebaseenabled' => false,
'simpleSignUpLink.shown' => false,
'profile.enabled' => true,
'login_form_autocomplete' => false,
);
Any file located in NC_Installation_dir/config/ ending with .config.php will be merged and stored as config.php
I found this very useful and hope others may have use of it too.
