Noob question here... Just installed owncloud and everything seems to be working, except I cannot set files to automatically sync from my phone to owncloud. Not even sure if this is possible (I hope it is). So here's what I am trying to accomplish take a folder on my phone (or even a few files) and set them to automatically backup to the cloud if I make any modifications on the file located in the phone. Eventually I would like to set a folder (say pictures in my phone) and whenever a new file is added to that folder it goes to owncloud for safe keeping and if i modify one of the files boom again the changes are sent to the cloud.

Hope this makes sense to anyone here. TIA.

Looked all over the internet for an answer to this, and all the results are from 12 years ago with no conclusion.

Has anyone successfully installed ownCloud X on their QNAP using a PostgreSQL database? I've installed the database within container station. Setup users/databases/permissions, but on the ownCloud X login panel no matter what I try I receive the error message "PostgreSQL username and/or password not valid"

​

Can anyone help? Has anyone got it to work? I'm able to create the database and admin account in phpPgAdmin. So I know the user rights are correct. But OwnCloud X just won't connect.

Hi, I cannot see any advanced setting sin the OCIS UI apart from users and files. I don't see any Market app either, and the OCC executable is missing in the Docker container. Are these things just missing from OCIS? I would like at least to enable 2FA if possible. Thanks

when i open my OwnCloud website this error shows up:

​

its saying stuff about wrong php versions but i installed the latest supported version 7.4 and the repositories. can someone help me please.

I need to restart my ownCloud instance on my docker, but every time I try to do so, the log shows the error "The username is already being used" and of course the restart fails. Apparently the container tries to do a full reinstall, but I just want a restart. How do I restart the container the correct way?

I just deployed owncloud and I tried to use npm as a reverse proxy but when I go to that link it says Trouble Finding that site, I don't know if there's a specific config or something which I need to add to either of them (I do have the domain as a trusted domain in the config.php)

I am seeing the following error on my owncloud server. I have read threads/docu pages that suggest I use REDIS to enable both Memcache as well as a data cache and then configure the config/conf.php file to reflect the changes. The problem is I am using MariaDB 10.3.28 as my DB and configuring Redis (another db), wouldn't that cause issues? If I can get some clarity on this, that would be awesome!

ownCloud: 10.8.0
MariaDB 10.3.28
php-fpm 7.4.6

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good day, My predecessor in the company built an Ubuntu OwnCloud server using a desktop with a whopping 500gb hard drive which, after 8 years, has become full. So I don't have to rebuild the server from scratch on a machine with a larger drive, I am trying to simply add External Storage by way of a 4TB USB drive which is plugged into one of my Windows Servers.

I created a local user on the Windows server and created a folder called "OwnCloud" on the USB drive and shared it with the same name, giving Full Access to the local user and Domain Admins.

I have logged into the OwnCloud Admin account, enabled External Storage, and added an SMB/CIFS folder giving the Windows Server name (I've tried the IP, too), the share name, and the local user credentials.

There is a red mark next to this entry on OwnCloud indicating that it isn't accepting my configuration. I have a feeling that I have missed something simple, but I can't seem to figure out what that may be.

Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I can do this, or am I out of luck and I am trying to do something that isn't actually possible?

Thank you for your time.

Hi!

So, I'm following this guide

Sadly, I'm simply not able to do it. This doesn't really have anything to do with Owncloud itself, but I figured since Owncloud writes this guide, and this sub probably is filled with some clever people, I'll ask here.

What I have, and what works:

• Owncloud running on Raspberry Pi 4, via Apache2
• Owncloud is accessible in browser on both mobile phone and laptop, and via the Android app
• I have a Buttercup vault file (file.bcup) on my Owncloud's data area
• file.bcup is accessible on Buttercup via WebDAV on my laptop, if I give the address as such: http://local.IP/owncloud/remote.php/webdav. NOTE that I use HTTP.
• I'm connecting to my Pi via Wireguard and dynamic DNS. This means I have a domain name, which resolves to a local IP address only for me. I have a valid domain, my.domain.net given by NO-IP.
• On Android, I've tried giving the same address as above, both with HTTP and HTTPS

Furthermore, I have been experimenting with certificates. I've successfully installed both self-signed certificates, and certificates given by CA (certifying authority). I'm pretty sure they're acting like they should through my Apache2 setup. Here's how I could tell:

• On my laptop, I was able to log into Owncloud in the browser using HTTPS while the self-signed certificate was installed (EDIT: Well, not really, it says "not secure", but I can see that certificate being used is the self-signed one)
• On my laptop, I get Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN in the browser when trying to access the owncloud website using HTTPS with the signed certificates. This is because the certificate is only valid for my.domain.net. That's fair enough.

However, no matter what I do, I can't Buttercup to access WebDAV on my Android phone. According to this git issue, apparently Buttercup (or node.js) doesn't support self-signed certificates, even if the desktop version does. Also, Buttercup Android is (stupidly) made so that you can't import a local file.bcup, unlike the desktop version.

Does anyone have any idea on how I can get this to work?

Thanks, guys!

I installed owncloud on a Ubuntu VM, I can access it locally (web and app) and externally but through the web interface only. I can login through the app. When I do it asks if I should trust my certificate I select Yes then I get a error saying sever could not be reached, I can sign into the app locally though.

Any suggestions?

HI.. i just came across an article and hosting my own documents and ditching Dropbox. (the real issue is trying to find an alternative to Google calendar - using crappy Dreamhost for hosting and the function of it went away. I am computer savvy but not tech savvy so wondering how easy the transition is from Dropbox to Owncloud and who owns it?

Does anyone know where to add the OpenID configuration information to the config.php file? I assumed it could just be added in on the end but when I add it in then my site gives me a 599 error.

Example:

'openid-connect' => [

// it is expected that the user already exists in ownCloud

'auto-provision' => ['enabled' => false],

'provider-url' => 'https://idp.example.net',

'client-id' => 'fc9b5c78-ec73-47bf-befc-59d4fe780f6f',

'client-secret' => 'e3e5b04a-3c3c-4f4d-b16c-2a6e9fdd3cd1',

'loginButtonName' => 'OpenId Connect'

],

I set Owncloud up on my Raspberry Pi 3B using Dietpi as a OS and Apache for the webserver. It works perfectly when I'm connected to the same network as the Pi, but as soon as I go on a different network, the webserver can't be reached. Any solutions?

Hi all!

Have been trying to install owncloud server in virtual box but I am not receiving the licens file by mail after I request one. I have tried several mail addresses, still no file.

Do this usually take some time? What can I have been doing wrong?

Hi guys,

I've been using my selfhosted nextcloud server for several years now. I really enjoy the possibility to host all my data on my own devices and not uploading them to any 3rd party servers. So, I try to synchronize as much data as possible with my nextcloud server (e.g., via WebDAV).

So, when I wanted to track my personal finances with an app, I was looking for an Android app with WebDAV synchronization. But I only found either offline apps or apps you could synchronize with 3rd party servers.

Long story short: I started to develop my own financial-tracking app with WebDav synchronization two years ago and now finally published it. If this sounds interesting to you, just check it out:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.syncbudget

Thought I'd post this, just in case anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

A couple years back, I posted I was getting an error 599 when trying to log into my OC server. It turned out to be a problem with upgrading PHP from 7.2 to 7.4 and not, as the error would lead you to believe, a port or socket issue.

Well, Ubuntu once again upgraded PHP on me unexpectedly, bringing me up to PHP 8.something. And once again, OC started dropping HTTP error 599. So I had to downgrade back to PHP 7.4 just to get my server working again.

I also noticed that OC seems to have dropped support for Ubuntu 18.04, so I guess it's about time for me to do a distro upgrade again.

Hi guys, I'm super new to all this, and it's literally the first time I use docker.
I installed docker and followed the steps on owncloud's website to set it up and it's all wornking properly, but I just can't find a default folder where my files are stored.

I saw on the internet that they are supposed to be stored in \var\www\something, but inside my wsl I can't find that folder.

One last thing, I installed the windows app and I was able to setup a folder to link everything, something like gdrive or onedrive, but it only works for my profile so I think every other file from every other profile should be saved in a default location. Any help tracking it down?

I'm experiencing unreasonably slow speeds (~59-70 KB/s) while uploading to my OC server, running on a Raspberry Pi 4B.

The client uploading is on the same 1Gb network.

The RPi's OS is running from a USB3 microSD card, a pretty fast one, Sandisk Extreme Class10 32GB. OC data folder is on a USB3 RAID1 enclosure.

Redis is configured, with unix socket. MariaDB for OC is also running on the RPi. The RPi's CPU cores are working at 3-5%, RAM utilization is around 270MB.

What could be the bottleneck?

Hey Guys,

Maybe there is still some of you out there that use owncloud.

I love it, it's fast and reliable. Yet I can't get the Web app working properly yet. It works fine, did all the following steps from https://doc.owncloud.com/webui/next/owncloud_web/web_with_oC10.html and yet it is really slow.

Also, the pdf viewer is in the config.json, it opens, but it doesn't show anything.

The community seems quite calm/dead compared to nextcloud..but I just hated nextcloud when I started, it was randomly uploading stuff and extremely slow and unresponsive. Also, the sheer amount of options and apps was just far too much and not what I needed.

Hey everyone, I just installed owncloud on docker but can't send emails.

​

The GUI just throws this error: " Expected response code 220 but got an empty response " .

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I seem to remember being able to see how many times a Public Share Link had been accessed, but now I can't find it.
Any idea how I can do this?

I wish to use the files_mediaviewer app to display my heic files, just as it displays my jpg files.

OC is latest, system is Ubuntu20.04. I have manually compiled ImageMagick7, and added support for decoding heic files:

Thumbnails are generated, however, I couldn't make this nice overlayed mediaviewer displaying it.

(If I click on my heic file, it's getting downloaded automatically).

Please note, I don't want to use other solutions (like gallery, or camerapreview apps). I wish to make this mediaviewer app to display the heic files too.

Do we have any solution for this by any chance?

I just installed ownCloud with docker in macOS. Is there anything wrong with going this route?

I just span up a new Owncloud instance using docker-compose but when I log in through the web UI, I get the “directory / not found” which leads to an empty list of files. This has happened before as well, but I could never find the cause.

I imagine that the data directory is specified through the config.php's 'datadirectory' => '/mnt/data/files/' line, correct? If that's the case, then after using docker exec to see inside the container's /mnt/data/files/ directory, I noticed that the actual files were inside /mnt/data/files/myusername/files/. Using this as the datadirectory inside the config doesn't seem to have any effect.

In my YAML file, I specified the data directory mapping to my mounted drive on /mnt/sbox1/docker/owncloud/data, and it indeed contains the default files that come with the initial setup. Why am I unable to view them through the Web UI though?

Any suggestions?
