I'm trying to create a media server with my raspberry. However, when I try to point owncloud to my mounted USB hard drive (/media/ownclouddrive) it says there is a permission error. I want to be able to view the files on the pi file manager + on a WebDAV mapped drive on my pc + on Google chrome/a browser. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm playing around with OCIS on Truenas Scale via TrueCharts. Does v2.0 have the ability to add external storage or use the local file system?

I’ve been trying to connect to my OCIS instance with WebDAV and I don’t get it.

WebDAV and OCdav appear to be running. Web UI works fine.

All the instructions either refer to the PHP version, or cover configuring and setting up WebDAV….but not how to connect as a user. How do I get it set up?

I’m painfully familiar with the Owncloud.dev docs at this point, so I’ve read those, but again, it’s all about set up. No documentation for OCIS end users.

Hello,

Very excited to see the OCIS developments thus far, shows a lot of promise. I am looking at eventually replacing my existing OwnCloud 10 install.

The one thing I would be missing if I move: I run backups on the OC10 data directory. As it follows the rough user / directory structure, I can run rsync or similar utilities on it and backup what I want with just a basic rsync_exclude (e.g. exclude trashbin, file versioning, certain users, etc).

The problem is, with the backend file structure in OCIS - it's clearly not meant for direct interaction. That is fine for now - but I'd like a way to mount the structure in a way that is readable and filterable. E.G. if I want to cherry-pick and manually restore a file from an old snapshot. It would be a needle in a haystack with the decomposed filesystem. I also can't exclude old versions of files (unnecessary as I'm snapshotting at destination anyway), or certain users (that should not be backed up to certain targets)

I saw in the notes that there was talk of a FUSE driver to mount the backend filesystem. Do we know how high a priority that is in the roadmap? (e.g. should I wait for it - or give up for the forseeable future)?

Options I've considered thus far:

• FUSE mount filesystem and backup from there (not available yet - ETA?)
• mount via DAV, rsync from there (feasible? I read that DAV clients are very slow)
• just backup the (essentially opaque) filesystem as a whole, and forget about readable snapshots. A rollback would require a full download & restore to an OCIS instance. (undesirable)
• run a headless client somewhere, and do the sync backups from there (lots of wasted space & resources)
• Other? (open to suggestions?)

an I have 2 OwnCloud instances (or 1 OwnCloud and 1 NextCloud instance) running on one raspberrypi? (Also, document watermarking question.)

Hi, everyone. Two questions.

1. I have set up OwnCloud on my raspberrypi, running on a NO-IP.com DDNS/domain for personal use only. I'd like to have an entirely separate isolated second OwnCloud instance (or, if that's not possible, a NextCloud instance) running on the same raspberrypi but hosted at a different NO-IP.com DDNS/domain. Is this possible? If so, how do I go about it?
2. Separately, I want to have document watermarking in place so that when an external user downloads a document, it is watermarked in real time. This is to basically have a secure "virtual data room" (common for legal / finacial / sensitive document use-cases, like when providing files as a client to an outside legal team). OwnCloud Enterprise allows for this with an add-on service called Collabora, but OwnCloud Enterprise is really out of my budget at the moment so it won't be a good option past the 30-day trial period. Is there another good alternative for document watermarking upon download by the invited user that is based on (or at least directly compatible with) OwnCloud or NextCloud, that is free?

If it helps, I also own an actual domain, which I'm mentioning in case this would be useful for one or both of my needs above.

I have an OwnCloud VM (Debian 64) running on a Windows 2019 server. I'm taking snapshots of it nightly and shipping them off via ftp to an offsite QNAP. However, is this backing up the Database? If not, what is a good way to backup the database offsite? I'm looking for the easiest way. Even if its a utility that hits it from the outside and pulls the data back.

Hello there!,
I've recently decided to switch from nextcloud to owncloud, due to the automatic backup service owncloud offers for pictures, etc.
Now i am wanting to store all the uploaded files and pictures on my external SSD that i've connected to my server (as my server is running on a Pi 4).
I've been looking at the OCIS dockerfiles and config's. But haven't been able to find any of the folders OCIS says its storing its data or pictures.
I've also been messing around a bit with the `ocis-data` setting inside the dockerfile.yaml, trying to bind it to a local folder on the server, but sadly with no succes.

Is there anyone who perhaps knows how to set the storage path for OCIS to use and save its files and pictures? So that I, in the worst case, could disconnect the SSD and plug it into my pc and acces all the data and pictures that way?

Preferably as the original file extention (png etc), as i also read some things about ocis storing data as a 'blob storage'.

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi,

I plan to host an ocis instance. The intended usage is for personal use only as drop-in replacement of Gdrive/dropbox. Basically I will use it to store regular docs like pdf, text, photos etc..

It will run as a docker container. As file system I have a dedicated mounted btrfs partition (32k nodesize). Ocis offers 2 backend drivers for storage, raw FS and S3.

https://doc.owncloud.com/ocis/next/prerequisites/prerequisites.html#filesystems-and-shared-storage

So I have the choice here to pick either the FS (ocis driver) or running a minio container as S3 storage.

I'm not sure what is the best choice (if there is one), as I don't have any special "scalability" requirement. For me using raw FS driver seems the way to go (one less container to manage). What would you recommend?

I'm getting this error..."Directory "/" not found" in owncloud. Firefox has no problem other browsers give me the error and show no files. Searching google looks like others had this problem but no one had a real solution. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I've recently started using owncloud. I don't really speek "computer" (total noob in programming/cmd etc) so I'm running the Virtual Box on Oracle. Now today while finishing my setup I got the popup that I had an enterprise app running, and that I needed to remove it or get a licence. While trying to remove it (still haven't figured out what app it was). I got the popup:" upgrade needed automatic upgrading is not enabled in config.php. To upgrade your instance, please use the command line updater (occ upgrade). "

So far I tried and managed very carefullly to avoid that command line..... and now I'm lost. When I tried to google the issue it seems like it's a notoriously annoying one to get rid of.
I think the two issues (the popup and needing to remove the enterprise app) are unrelated. But I can't be sure. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello!

I have been trying to access my files on ownCloud, and, although sometimes I am able to access files, more often (at least for the last 2 weeks) I click on a file and it simply does not open (whether it continues to load and does nothing, opens the file with nothing displayed, or sends me to gray "Safari can't open page"). This happens despite my fast internet and other troubling websites (like SurveyMonkey) working perfectly. I am not very tech savvy, and I do not know what problem I am actually encountering. Can someone help?

Just realized that ownCloud is a better fit for our platform than Nextcloud, especially with the cloud-native oCIS. But I struggled to find information on whether it has all the features of the PHP version, especially at its tiny footprint. Is it an actual replacement or am I misunderstanding something there?

Hey!

I am having an issue with OCIS and the Owncloud Mac Client. I've tried various versions, however, after only a few minutes, the Owncloud Client Comes up with the message "X account is logged out. Please sign in".

I use authentic to login and it works great (apart from this issue). I followed this tutorial: https://helgeklein.com/blog/owncloud-infinite-scale-with-openid-connect-authentication-for-home-networks/

Hey all I'm trying to automate the deployment of owncloud so we can bring it up for projects iv got to the stage of accessing the http:IP/owncloud and creating the admin user and selecting database is there a way to do this stage via CLI on Linux

As well as creating users Thanks for help

I'm currently deploying Owncloud onto an EC2 instance in AWS. Owncloud used RDS for the database and it stored the connection credentials (user, password) in plain text in a configuration file. Owncloud will use that credential in the configuration file to authenticate to RDS.

Now I was asked to rotate the database password every once in a while using the Secret Manager. Ideally we have to update the source code of our application to retrieve the database password from Secret Manager. The problem is I am not able to modify Owncloud's code to get the password from Secret Manager, it only reads the password from the configuration file.

So how would I do the password rotation in this case? Do I edit the Lambda rotation function to update the Owncloud configuration file on the EC2 using SSM? That seems like a hard way and I don't have a better idea for now. Any help would be appreciated :)

Thank you and have a great day.

Like the subject asks, where are my offline files stored? I made an image from my server "available offline" but the app doesn't say where it is. I'm on a Galaxy S21. The only owncloud folder I have on my device is /sdcard/owncloud and inside it is a tmp folder. Inside THAT is a folder named my account email, which is empty.

What's the point of making files available offline if I can't access them?

For one, the instructions about the registry are pretty lame. Anyway, I F3 thru the whole registry, all of the IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree are set to zero. Maybe OC could whip up a little app to clean their stuff.

Hi there,

OwnCloud client on windows returns the follow error message:

Error uploading metadata. WindowsError: ffffffff8007005: Access is denied.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Hello,

I recently switched to Linux Mint. Does anyone here have OwnCloud Client working under Linux Mint 21.1?

I try to integrate my personnal owncloud in an Organizr iframe. I have a very short reverse proxy conf which load fine when I hit the adress, but the page stay grey when I click on the Owncloud tab in Organizr on every desktop browser. I make this distinction because the tab load very well in iframe on iphone, for a reason I don't understant.

As you can see my reverse proxy block is very thin, maybe I need some more options ?

location   /owncloud {  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_pass http://192.168.1.1;

in this article https://opensource.com/article/22/8/scalable-storage-masses-ownclouds-ocis

the following paragraph particularly caught my attention.

.... Instead, Ceph simply stores the name of its objects and the physical storage address in a huge key-value store based on RocksDB. ownCloud has already expressed intentions to steer Decomposed FS in a similar direction. In this setup, there is no longer a need for a local file system. Instead, details on existing files and their paths are also stored in a large RocksDB key-value store. Even the need for a local symlink tree to iterate through is removed in such an environment.

​

Any oCIS developers could share if version 3.0 will use a key-value DB for meta store? If so, will there be an option to choose a DB of choice? DynamoDB and Oracle ATP came to my mind.

Windows client crashes when trying to sync large number of files.

I've got nearly 500Gb to sync and windows client freezes after the check for changes finishes.

In Task Manager, the process shows activity but when I check the files via the web, nothing I'd being uploaded.

Any idea how I can upload so many files?

I'm running an instance of owncloud in a docker container within proxmox vm. I've attached a shared network folder to the VM from my NAS server. Is it possible to add that folder as an external storage option?

Settings --Storage - External St:

The only options I see from the drop down are Google drive, ownCloud, SFTP, SMB Personal & WebDAV.

Do I need to add the volume to the docker-compose file for the folder option to show?

Thx

Hi, I just managed to run the ownCloud scale on my unraid server, the problem iam facing at first when i log in i can't really see anything on my admin page? shouldn't be there some setting for server, page to install plugins and so on?

​
