Description

Enhancement request

Based on experiences from the Nextcloud help forum, more and more users are using Nextcloud in hosted environments which are managed and maintained by a provider. Therefore they couldn't find or provide installation specific information, if requested. It would be helpful to be able to lookup this information in the app.

In a first step I e.g. would like to see the following information:

  • Root path: /var/www/html/nextcloud
  • Data path: /var/nextcloud/data
  • Config file: /var/nextcloud/config/config.php
  • Log file: /var/nextcloud/log/nextcloud.log

Environment

Server Configuration

OS: Linux 3.16.65
Web server: Apache2 2.4.37
Database: MariaDB 10.2.23
PHP version: 7.2.14
Nextcloud version: 16.0.1
Serverinfo app version: 1.6.0

Client Configuration

Browser: Mozilla Firefox 67.0.0
Operating system: Windows 10

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the server information dashboard and the existing collection of installation details, then determine where the root, data, configuration, and log paths can be read. Done means these four paths are available to administrators in the app, with suitable coverage for the displayed information.
