Cluster config.php flag

[rullzer]

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.

I thought multiple config.php files are already possible? Or is this something else?

I guess it's about a flag for config.php like:

'cluster' => true,

To disable some features if Nextcloud is running as cluster (=> more than one application server). In such a configuration the database is usually shared but the application code not. Each node runs a own copy of Nextcloud and apps. If you trigger an app update the app code is updated on the application server your are currently using. As the database is shared the other application servers run an outdated app which might be incompatible due changes to the database.

Thanks for the explanation!
And is this feasible so that I should add 1. to develop to this ticket?
