Summary of the issue you are facing:

Not sure if this is an issue or a user error really but you guys are usually excellent at giving pointers in the right direction (cheers!) so her goes …
I have a number of webDav drives connected to my Nextcloud server app that use the default ports 445 or 80, these all work fine. I have one webDAV server that uses a wierd port - 6008. That’s not normally an issue for most apps (e.g. phone app file managers or my laptop, as I can specify the port to use at the web address. However, in the Nextcloud app (on my YNH server) in the External Storage section there does not seem to be an option to specify the port for WebDAV to use. It seems to assume the default options only. Am I wrong? Am I missing an option to customise the port? Any advice or confirmation that this is indeed a missing feature on Nextcloud would be welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Attach external storage WebDAV drive that uses port 6008

Log entries

Nextcloud

Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.

no real logs to add, it just refuses to connect.

Web Browser

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector Console and Network tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

not applicable

Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

no reverse proxy in use

Configuration

Nextcloud

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

I am a newbie and am struggling to find this file. I feel that it is not really a bug, its either user error (very possible) or dre I suggest, a missing feature.

Apps

The output of occ app:list (if possible).

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
