### How to edit Nextclouds config.php file with a texteditor?
You can edit Nextclouds config.php file directly from the host with your favorite text editor. E.g. like this: `sudo nano /var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_nextcloud/_data/config/config.php`. Make sure to not break the file though which might corrupt your Nextcloud instance otherwise. In best case, create a backup using the built-in backup solution before editing the file.
### Custom skeleton directory
If you want to define a custom skeleton directory, you can do so by putting your skeleton files into `/var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_nextcloud_data/_data/skeleton/`, applying the correct permissions with `sudo chown -R 33:0 /var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_nextcloud_data/_data/skeleton` and setting the skeleton directory option with `sudo docker exec -it nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ config:system:set skeletondirectory --value="/mnt/ncdata/skeleton"`. You can read further on this option here: [click here](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html?highlight=skeletondir#:~:text=adding%20%3Fdirect%3D1-,'skeletondirectory',-%3D%3E%20'%2Fpath%2Fto%2Fnextcloud)
### LDAP
It is possible to connect to an existing LDAP server. You need to make sure that the LDAP server is reachable from the Nextcloud container. Then you can enable the LDAP app and configure LDAP in Nextcloud manually. If you don't have a LDAP server yet, recommended is to use this docker container: https://hub.docker.com/r/osixia/openldap/. Make sure here as well that Nextcloud can talk to the LDAP server. The easiest way is by adding the LDAP docker container to the docker network `nextcloud-aio`. Then you can connect to the LDAP container by its name from the Nextcloud container. **Pro-tip**: You will probably find this app useful: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/ldap_write_support
