File system is read-only

The issue you are facing:

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. snap install nextcloud
  2. nano /snap/nextcloud/4371/htdocs/config/config.php

Hello,
My nextcloud is running / working but i actually want to add trusted domains.

Here is my issue, I go to /snap/nextcloud/4371/htdocs/config/config.php as root (Maybe the wrong config.php?),

I cant edit the file and have these errors : “File system is read-only” or “you are trying to save a file on read only disk”

The fact is that i can edit other files like ssh/sshd_config etc, I also tried a rescue mod with mount -o remount,rw / it didnt solve.

Notice that my nextcloud is a snap install and is on a only one disk the same as the system.

Thank you for help!

Did you ever get this resolved? I’m in the EXACT same situation right now.

Snap does not work like this. Please read the docu:
https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/wiki

Configuration could be done via command, or by editing config.php:

Beyond the typical Nextcloud configuration (either by using nextcloud.occ or editing /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/config/config.php ), the snap exposes extra configuration options via the snap set command.

You can even enable writable mode for it:
