Do you come across any solution in the meantime?

We’re running Nextcloud version 27.1.4 and want to get rid of this warning aswell.

As a workaround I thought about creating empty files with the same names as the default ones and customize the expected hash value, but thats not exactly ideal.

i guess we shall not delete the file. Just direct to a different skeleton directory through config file.
Since 2022, we moved to NC All in One
less work, and much more stability…
Good luck to you

Yes, if the integrity of this folder is checked, then it must already be there. 36 MB of about 600 MB concern the core/skeletion folder. As beautiful as the images, templates and texts are. In the end, it is still 5% of the total installation, which some administrators do not really need.

  • 3dparty/aws with 27 MB do not really use every user
  • apps/text with 66 MB is not really small but a needed app

Maybe I am the one who fails to understand this correctly, but it seems we are/were not the only ones facing this problem.

Have a look on GitHub into the issues 39314, 6514, 1398 and 1249.

I am not complety sure what to do now. Should I add a comment on all these or just one and linking to the others?

I haven’t checked (yet) if a change of the source path while keeping the files will help like mentioned in this post, but if so I would call that a workaround rather than a solution.

Yes. You can set another directory in config/config.php:
'skeletondirectory' => '/path/to/nextcloud/core/skeleton',

Do not change anything in /path/to/nextcloud/core or /path/to/nextcloud/core/skeleton. You should also never change anything in /usr/bin, /usr/share etc.
