Subject: [PATCH] Setup: remove custom dbuser creation behavior
-
Both PostgreSQL and MySQL can be authenticated against from Nextcloud by
-
supplying a database password. Now, during setup the following things
-
* When using postgres and the db user has elevated permissions, a new
-
unprivileged db user is created and the settings `dbuser`/`dbpass` are
-
altered in `config.php`.
-
* When using MySQL, the password is **always** regenerated since
-
I consider both cases problematic: the reason why people do configuration
-
management is to have it as single source of truth! So, IMHO any
-
application that silently alters config and thus causes deployed
-
nodes to diverge from the configuration is harmful for that.
-
I guess it was sheer luck that it worked for so long in NixOS because
-
nobody has apparently used password authentication with a privileged
-
user to operate Nextcloud (which is a good thing in fact).
