[BUG] rootcerts.crt in /data directory casues disks to spins up (Unraid)

[Nomelas]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

In Unraid, nextcloud has its own share. In Docker, the /data directory is mapped to this share to utilize the array for storage of user-data.

Aside from logs also being written here (which can be overwritten in the config file), there's another problematic file located in /data/files_external/rootcerts.crt

This file is opened periodically and should be in the /config directory, not the /data directory.

Expected Behavior

/data/files_external/rootcerts.crt moved to /config/files_external/rootcerts.crt to avoid disk spin up in Unraid.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create docker container in Unraid
2. Nextcloud share using the array
3. Disks spin up every time nextcloud reads /data/files_external/rootcerts.crt

looks like it is referenced here:

/config/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Security/CertificateManager.php:            $certPath = $path . 'rootcerts.crt';
/config/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Security/CertificateManager.php:            return $this->getPathToCertificates() . 'rootcerts.crt';

That's a Nextcloud thing. It should be reported to them.

I don't see a way to change this in the documentation for nextcloud's config. You could however try the following:

• stop the nextcloud container
• copy /mnt/user/somewhere_on_your_array/nextcloud_data/files_external/rootcerts.crt to /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud/data/files_external/rootcerts.crt (you would need to create the folders first)
• Add a volume to your nextcloud container to map /data/files_external/rootcerts.crt to /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud/data/files_external/rootcerts.crt
• start the container and see if it works as desired

While this may work, it is not the best way for it to work. The best way would be for nextcloud to have an option to configure where those files live.

How did you end up resolving this? Experiencing the same issue!
