Hey guys, stupid question on setting the location of a data directory, I did a search but all I’m coming up with is posts regarding people changing theirs after everything is up and running and all the possible issues that can come along with that.

Or see my howto, which is based on all the info of the link above: [image] HowTo: Change / Move data directory after installation 📑 How to ▶ Snap/Docker/VM users click here! And it is possible to set data dir at setup, maybe you overseen the possibility on web ui instal…

I’ve seen that option in some screenshots and installation videos, but I definitely don’t have it on mine when I first run. Only difference I see is I’m installing from a snap. I’m going to do it the hard (normal) way today and see if that option shows then.

Okay for snap it might be different, I have no idea about that.

Is there a safe and reliable way to move data directory out of web root? 🚧 Installation

My installation seems to be working well, now I want to do a little bit to secure it. I have Nextcloud 10 on Ubuntu 16.04. It seems like the first thing I should do is move my data directory out of web root. I SO don’t want to break my installation. Is there a good tutorial on how to accomplish this and verify once complete that Nextcloud is still functioning properly? Thanks, and I have to say, I’ve been playing around with it and it’s fantastic, doing exactly what I was hoping.
