Description

Hello !

By default, the configuration of the "X-Robots-Tag" HTTP header is set at "noindex, nofollow". This is perfectly fine for most users, however in a company context it may be interesting to have its Nextcloud instance indexed by search engines.

Could you consider allowing the modification of this HTTP header from Nextcloud ? ATM, all projects that are based on this Nextcloud docker image inherit this "X-Robots-Tag" value.

All the best,
Nariod

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing where Nextcloud or its Docker image sets the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header and how server configuration is exposed; done means users can configure the header instead of inheriting the fixed noindex, nofollow value.
