Description Felix Botner

During the setup we use a "dummy" certificate infrastructure (unassigned-hostname.unassigned-domain)

In the App Appliance mode this can cause problem during the app installation (nextcloud). 

(1).

 * the root CA of the "dummy" certificate infrastructure is not stored
   in the globle certificate store (/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/, 
   update-ca-certificates)

(2).

 * But even if this would be the case, the certificate subject name does 
   not matches the hostname at the time the apps is installed, because now the
   system has correct "setup" hostname and domain (no longer 
   unassigned-hostname.unassigned-domain)

This situation causes a workaround in the Nextcloud app setup. They have a detection for appliance setup and send curl insecure requests. See https://github.com/nextcloud/univention-app/blob/b3bdd7f4b98c6337c2cb2e3f5055ffea1a9bb776/inst#L64
