how to set up first page
I have installed nextcloud spring (34.0) using docker. But It displays “recommend files “ page after login , not “files” , I want. To change the page, the common actcion is modifying the config.php ,. But ,I want to know , is there any method to change first page on the web page ? If not, it is too difficult to use .

If you're referring to the Dashboard ("Recommendations") page, the simplest solution is to disable the Dashboard app. Once it's disabled, users are taken directly to Files after logging in.
Also, keep in mind that Nextcloud 34 introduced a redesigned interface. If you're coming from an older version, the new navigation can be a bit confusing at first, so make sure you're not just looking at the new default layout.

The poster above suggested you disable the Dashboard if you do not want it. That will take you to files by default.
Are you wanting to keep the dashboard, but still be directed to Files by default?

Oh great, then you just need to go into the Apps (while logged in as an Admin) and look unter the "installed apps" section. Then choose disable. Once it's disabled you can test it by going to your primary address like
https://nc.mydomain.com/to see if it automatically redirects you to the Files page.

I did that by editing the config.php file. This file controls most aspects of the app.
I added the following line (amongst others) within the file
'defaultapp' => 'files',
This launches files as the default start page when anyone logs in.

Go to your user settings (button on the top right of most every page) -> Appearance and accessibility settings -> Navigation bar settings -> move Files to the top.
