So I’m looking at the file apps/web/lib/Controller/ConfigController.php that shows an error on the data/owncloud.log:

public function getConfig(): JSONResponse {
        try {
            $configFile = \OC::$SERVERROOT . '/config/config.json';
            $configContent = \file_get_contents($configFile);
            $configAssoc = \json_decode($configContent, true);
            $extendedConfig = $this->addOC10AppsToConfig($configAssoc);
            $response = new JSONResponse($extendedConfig);
                        $response->addHeader('Cache-Control', 'max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate');
                        $response->addHeader('Pragma', 'no-cache');
                        $response->addHeader('Expires', 'Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT');
                //      $response->addHeader('X-Frame-Options', 'DENY');
                        return $response;
        } catch(\Exception $e) {
            $this->logger->logException($e, ['app' => 'web']);
            return new JSONResponse(["message" => $e->getMessage()], Http::STATUS_NOT_FOUND);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Add enabled OC10 apps to the loaded config. This ensures that they are
     * listed in the app switcher menu.
     *
     * @param array $config
     * @return array
     */
    private function addOC10AppsToConfig(array $config): array {
        $apps = $config['applications'] ?? [];

This line here $configFile = \OC::$SERVERROOT . '/config/config.json'; is this supposed to be config.php?

There’s no config/config.json on my /var/www/owncloud, but the docs here say there should be one Deploy as an app in ownCloud 10 | ownCloud. I think I might have put it on config.php, oh man, so many configs, let me create the json one.

Hey, you’re correct, you need the config.json as additional config file which is only for ownCloud Web / has nothing to do with the config.php. The guide that you found should fill you in on all necessary details. Please reach out if something doesn’t work!
