Hi,
I have a nextcloud install that work fine as a container.
I was wonderring why each time I do the following command:

docker compose down && docker compose up -d

I get this:

Technical information

The following list covers which files have failed the integrity check. Please read

- core
	- EXTRA_FILE
		- nextcloud.log

I have this as a config for log:

'datadirectory' => '/data',
  'log_type' => 'file',
  'logfile' => 'nextcloud.log',
  'loglevel' => 2,
  'logdateformat' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s',
  'log_rotate_size' => 104857600,

nextcloud.log should go into /data, no?
why goes it into /var/www/html?

/var/www/html is the “default” directory things like Apache use as a webserver root.
If you have nothing in it, then its normally safe to drop as you serve sites from a different folder.
in all honesty, for simplicity what I tend to do is: Create a /var/www/html/index.php file ( The only file in that folder )

The data directory resides within /var/www/ structure
As you are using docker you can make this location wherever you prefer, but this is the location your container is stupidly assuming. Make sense?

Found this explanation with a basic internet search. It came from digital ocean

here is the nextcloud documentation:

Citation: logging_configuration file
All log information will be written to a separate log file which can be viewed using the log viewer on your Admin page. By default, a log file named nextcloud.log will be created in the directory which has been configured by the datadirectory parameter in config/config.php]

So it should go into datadirectory whitch is for me /data.
But it is not the case? Why?

I update nextcloud to 23.0.5.

Thanks

Does anyone has a clue on this matter?
