Docker image: need to manually enable app after installation

[Erikvv]

After going through the installation wizard I need to manually enable the Storj app in settings.

Perhaps this can be fixed by adding it to https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/core/shipped.json

I managed to install StorJ app as Primary Storage for Nextcloud thanks to your idea about adding it in the file shipped.json.

The app needs to be enabled during the Nextcloud installation to be used as primary storage, so, to enable it by default I added it to the shipped.json file using sed at the moment of building the custom image.

See my Dockerfile:

FROM nextcloud

# Install FFI dependencies
RUN set -ex; \
    apt-get update; \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        libffi-dev \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Enable php FFI extension
RUN set -ex; \
    docker-php-ext-install ffi \
    && echo ffi.enable=true > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/storj.ffi.ini

# Download Storj app
RUN set -ex; \
    mkdir -p /usr/src/nextcloud/apps \
    && cd /usr/src/nextcloud/apps \
    && curl --output storj.tar.gz https://link.storjshare.io/raw/jvfizc37vgr5ohyxwreg7abnxxrq/nextcloud-app-assets/storj-v0.0.9.tar.gz \
    && tar -x -f storj.tar.gz \
    && rm storj.tar.gz

# Enable StorJ app by default in Nextcloud
COPY storj.config.php /usr/src/nextcloud/config/storj.config.php
RUN set -ex; \
    sed -i '/"shippedApps": \[/a "storj",' /usr/src/nextcloud/core/shipped.json \
    && sed -i '/"defaultEnabled": \[/a "storj",' /usr/src/nextcloud/core/shipped.json

Obviously, you have to configure the credentials in your docker-compose.yml file:

[...]
  environment:
  [...]
      # StorJ
      - OBJECTSTORE_STORJ_BUCKET=testcloud
      - OBJECTSTORE_STORJ_ACCESS_GRANT=abCdAbcDabcD.........

Hope it helps.

BTW: I'm doing this in nextcloud 26.0.1 and it works pretty well.

@ebirbe Hello! I'm trying to build my own Dockerfile for Storj and Nextcloud but my knowledge on the process is novice. Is there a Youtube walkthrough of the steps? I would really like to get this going. Thanks for any information.
