[FEAT] Docker config entry for location of /data/nextcloud.log

[makcorner]

Is this a new feature request?

• I have searched the existing issues

Wanted change

The requested change is to introduce docker config entry, so /data/nextcloud.log file could be located elsewhere, i.e. on SSD cache disks, separate from main /data folder structure.

Reason for change

nextcloud.log file is updated quite often, even if there is no real data moved from/to nextcloud server. It causes its disk spinning all the time, not allowing disks to spin down and enter power saving mode. It affects mostly small installations, like home servers running Unraid, where one tries to minimize power consumption and where server is not in use all the time.

Having nextcloud.log outside of /data would allow disks to spin down.

Proposed code change

It's controlled by the application, not us: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/logging_configuration.html

You should be able to change the logfile to an absolute path where ever you want.

Thanks for your prompt answer. I was looking at this, but assumed that my config change will be overwritten with docker update. I see now I assumed wrongly?

EDIT: checked, it stays - issue closed.
