The issue you are facing:
The file phpinfo.php (with phpinfo():wink: is not allowed by integrity checker.

I would like to have this file available in the nextcloud directory. Is it possible to configure
the inegrity checker with files that it must ignore?

If it is only this file, you can ignore it. Proper way would be an app. Perhaps not a bad idea to make an app that shows the php configuration. Shouldn’t be too hard.

I know I could ignore it, but with 12.0.1 there is now a persistent (warning) message at the top of the admin pages, that the integrity is not OK. When I leave the phpinfo file, I’ll miss a real integrity problem. Hence I want a proper solution.

An app seems too much for a simple php function (phpinfo). Should I make this a feature request?

Especially because there are certain other interesting optional php module info scripts (e.g. for opcache and apcu use), perhaps an app/setting would be useful, where admins can define files to be excluded from integrity check, as well as copied over on nextcloud updates.

Any update on how to exclude files from the integrity checker. I think a setting option would be great. I had caldav .well-known data that needs to be there for auto configuration. But now the integrity checker complains. I am surprised no one has resolved how to exclude files.
