Description:

The example apache config file for nextcloud /etc/webapps/nextcloud/apache.example.conf (coming with the arch package, not upstream) contains the line:

php_admin_value open_basedir "/srv/http/:/dev/urandom:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/:/etc/webapps/nextcloud"

Setting open_basedir prevents PHP from caching realpath lookups, which can have a serious performance impact. See:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.realpath-cache-size

Additional info:
* package version(s)

nextcloud 15.0.7-1

Steps to reproduce:

- setup nextcloud on top of Apache http server
- measure http response time from browser

Depending on machine, responses can be way slower with this option set. E.g. for a VM I run it on, delay is increased for many responses from <1s to ~10-20s.
This task depends upon
