Change the temp folder to avoid bloating emmc on HA systems (thanks @senna1992)

See ; #1370

Use mariadb as the main database (Thanks @amaciuc)

If you notice the following warning at your first webui running:

Performance warning
You chose SQLite as database.
SQLite should only be used for minimal and development instances. For production we recommend a different database backend.
If you use clients for file syncing, the use of SQLite is highly discouraged.

and you want to overcome this, follow the below steps:

• 1. Install mariadb add-on, configure it with some random infos and start it. It is important to start it successfully in order to be seen by nextcloud in the network.
• 2. Install nextcloud add-on (or restart it if you have already installed), watch the logs until you will notice the following warning:

  WARNING: MariaDB addon was found! It can't be configured automatically due to the way Nextcloud works, but you can configure it manually when running the web UI for the first time using those values :
  Database user : service
  Database password : Eangohyuchae6aif7saich2nies8xaivaejaNgaev6gi3yohy8ha2aexaetei6oh
  Database name : nextcloud
  Host-name : core-mariadb:3306

• 3. Go back at mariadb add-on, configure it with above credentials and restart it. Make sure the add-on is creating the netxcloud database.
• 4. Go in the webui and fill all required info. Here you can view an example:

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

1. Add my Hass.io add-ons repository to your Hass.io instance.
2. Install this add-on.
3. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
4. Start the add-on.
5. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
6. Go to the webui, where you will create your username, password, and database (if using mariadb, infos are in the log)
7. Restart the addon, to apply any option that should be applied
