Description
I recently set up nextcloud on my server, today i tried to update but that failed.
"Check for expected files on update.
The following extra files have been found:"
I'm using php-fpm and I configured the system to use a non standard filename for .user.ini (just a standard lowlevel security consideration).
so of course i could rename the file for that update, but then the settings differing from my system in there wouldn't work and might become an issue.
a ignorelist would do the trick.
would help on those setups who have the same issue with letsencrypt, too.
So i'm moving those settings to the pool now. (goodbye proper settings in shell...)

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the updater check that reports extra files, then trace how expected files are defined and verified. Done means a configurable ignorelist can exclude a renamed .user.ini and similar letsencrypt-related files while other unexpected files remain reported.
