Is there a way to insert a config.php option during install

**symgym** · June 11, 2019, 11:04am

I’ve written a script to install NC. It sets up memcached but since config.php does not exist I cannot put the option ‘memcache.local’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\APCu’ into the $CONFIG array.

If I create config.php with just that entry, NC will not start.

So I end up running install -> logging into NC for first time -> running another script to insert memcached.local option.

If I get this working, I’ll have a script that full configures server apps and NC so that it passes all Sercurity & Setup tests.

TIA

FOLLOW UP - Via install script I edited /usr/share/nginx/nextcloud/lib/private/Setup.php with the memcached option. However, this caused a security notice to display that a core file has been changed. I guess I’ll have to create a post installation script to update config.php YUK

you mean something like this:

you’ll find the setup section here:

- name: start nginx
  systemd:
    name: nginx
    state: started


- name: restart redis
  systemd:
    name: redis
    state: restarted


- name: first setup nextcloud
  shell: |
    sudo -u {{ web_user[ansible_distribution] }} php occ  maintenance:install \
    --database {{ nc_db_type }} --database-host {{ nc_db_host }} --database-name {{ nc_db }} \
    --database-table-prefix {{ nc_db_prefix }} --database-user {{ nc_db_user }} \
    --database-pass {{ nc_db_passwd }} \
    --admin-user {{ nc_admin }} --admin-pass {{ nc_passwd }} --data-dir {{ nc_datadir }}
  args:
    chdir: /var/www/nextcloud/
    creates: /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php
  register: setup_nc

there are various examples how to fully config nextcloud with occ.

Great info, I appreciate your help

Just before reading this , I created a post installation script to add memcached to the config. That was the last item to make a complete installation on Ubuntu 18.04 on raspberry PI 3 B+

Thanks,
