Description

I ran into this several times. But if you have a cluster of Nextcloud nodes it would be good if we could set a config.php setting for this.

This could then disable installing apps from the appstore for example (it could still check for updates just not allow you to install anything).

It might be usefull in other places as well but this is the most prominent place.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how config.php settings are defined and how appstore installations and update checks are handled. The scope is not specified beyond a cluster flag and the appstore example; done would require a settled list of affected features, with installation disabled while update checks remain available.
