Server: Add option to config/config.php for 'datadirectory.cli'

On my shared host I do not have the same access as PHP has so the directory structure is a bit different.

Please add the option 'datadirectory.cli' to set up an alternate data directory If I run a command with occ

You can do this already.

1) Create a new file in config/ folder: datadirectory.config.php
2) Use something like below

<?php

if (\OC::$CLI) {
    $CONFIG['datadirectory'] = '/path/cli';
} else {
    $CONFIG['datadirectory'] = '/path/web';
}

3) Be careful: Such a setup is probably unsupported hence not tested. Nextcloud should save path information relatively to datadirectory.

On my shared host I do not have the same access as PHP has so the directory structure is a bit different.

Is that a common setup? I can't see the point of it.

That is working very well. Thanks.
I'don't know if that is a common setup, but It's the second hoster with such a setup I have.
I'm not sure If I force creating this problem because I changed the datadirectory outside the nextcloud directory.
