Nextcloud, how to change data directory?

[crik91]

Hi, I have Nextcloud on my Raspberry Pi 3. It runs fine but I need to change the data directory because I need to use a folder inside an external HDD.

I tried different ways with no succes, what can I do?

Thank you.

I don't want to change my DietPi user data folder, I prefer to let it as default. Is it possible to change the next cloud folder?

https://help.nextcloud.com/t/is-there-a ... oot/3642/2

Hi, yes. Tried all that things!
I tried to change the path of the data directory. I moved all /mnt/dietpi_userdata/nextcloud_data files to /mnt/myexternaldrive/nextcloud, then done

Code: Select all

chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/myexternaldrive/nextcloud

and changed settings in config.php and in oc_storage in the database.

I still get Data directory (/mnt/myexternaldrive/nextcloud) is invalid. Please check that the data directory contains a file ".ocdata" in its root.

I can't find any nextcloud.conf. What may I do?

Thank you

Bump.

I'd also like to see clear instruction for how to change the data directory to be within Nextcloud.

How does one for example edit oc_storage and where it might even be located? Everything's well hidden for a linux newbie like me.

I used this method...mounted an external 1TB harddrive, moved all user data, it's now all on the external harddrive

THANKS!!!!

Hi, I use that method to move my data but when I open nextcloud and users tab I see that my data is in `/mnt/dietpi_userdata/nextcloud_data/`. I have also my data in `/mnt/Toshiba/dietpi_userdata/nextcloud_data/`
