Better just set `'skeletondirectory' => '',` in your `config.php` or set it to an own folder with individual content: [https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin\_manual/configuration\_server/config\_sample\_php\_parameters.html#user-experience](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#user-experience) (bid down the page)

Otherwise you will face integrity check errors on updates, I think.
