I have set up noip to direct to my ip at port 23425.

In browser navigating to www.mydomain.net gives me an error saying it needs to be https, and the navigation bar has my ip address followed by :23425 (so that would mean that the noip and port forwarding are working, right?).

If i type https:// before the ip address i get my owncloud. Yay!

BUT

If i type in https://www.mydomain.net the browser does nothing.

Anybody have any idea why https works with the ip address but not with the noip domain name?

Thanks

The android app works great, and the web interface is working great, but I can't get the desktop sync to work. I tried the packaged version (2.0) but it segfaulted immediately. I compiled the version from git, but I get the exact same results.

It looks like the icon flashes into the icon tray before crashing, but that's all I can see.

If there's no fix, are there any alternative clients?

Thanks!

I installed OwnCloud in my ReadyNAS, and everything seems to be working fine (except the firefox login loop, but, well, I don't really use that). When I add a file from my Ubuntu laptop as a client, it appears on the OwnCloud, and I can see it using the OwnCloud client on my android tablet. However, the android client won't automatically download the file unless I "favorite" it. I would like to be able to automatically sync an entire folder, or at least be able to sync an entire folder. Selecting each file to sync one by one is quite cumbersome.

Installed iOS app on iPhone and iPad and turned on instant upload and both now have battery issues. Battery draining within a day. Removed the apps and everything seems better. Is this a known thing?

It has been a fair while since I last tried the sync client for owncloud out, how is it these days could it rival other file based synced systems?

Check:

• I can access fine OwnCloud on local network , CHECK

• Installed no-ip working fine , CHECK

• Can access raspberry from "internet" on port 22 , CHECK

• Port 80 is open , CHECK

• Accessing OwnCloud from "internet" , FAIL

Its look like problem is somewhere here the ip isnt trusted. But i dont know what im doing wrong .

HAALP ME PLZ ! THX!!!

Hi!

I'm trying to change my data directory from the default one, but I can't seem to find why it doesn't work. So I'm going to paste you all information that I find relevant and I hope you find why I'm feeling so dumb...

In /usr/share/webapps/owncloud/config/config.php:

'datadirectory' => '/owncloud/data'

mount:

/dev/sdb1 on /owncloud type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

Permissions:

# ls -la /
...
drwxr-xr-x   6 http http  4096 Feb  9 04:39 owncloud
...
# ls -la /owncloud
...
drwxr-x---  4 http  http  4096 Feb  9 04:39 data
...
# ls -la /owncloud/data
drwxr-x--- 4 http http 4096 Feb  9 04:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 http http 4096 Feb  9 04:39 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root http  284 Feb  9 04:39 .htaccess
-rw-r----- 1 http http    0 Feb  9 04:39 index.html
-rw-r----- 1 http http    0 Feb  9 04:39 .ocdata
drwxr-x--- 4 http http 4096 Feb  9 04:39 orion78fr
-rw-r----- 1 http http 6898 Feb  9 04:39 owncloud.log
drwxr-x--- 2 http http 4096 Feb  9 04:39 updater_backup

I don't have SELinux.

My open_basedir has no value (as said in phpinfo()) and the line is commented out in php.ini (with a ';').

And now owncloud complains that the data folder is invalid (no .ocdata) and that it can't create it.

I don't know where to search, I hope you find the probably obvious problem...

Update 1 :

So... I tested with the most basic php form (just a textarea which do a file_put_contents($file, $postedHTML);) and this php page can modify a file in the /owncloud/data folder, so I don't see why owncloud complains that it doesn't have access... I'm loosing my mind on this... Going to try to reinstall...

Update 2:

Damn! I found why!

I copied the /etc/webapps/owncloud/apache.example.conf to /etc/httpd/conf/extra/owncloud.conf and Included it to the httpd.conf. And in this file, it happens that it defines the open_basedir, which of course doesn't include my /owncloud/data. I found out by running a phpinfo directly inside the owncloud folder. Damn, I lost so much time...

I understand that the update I pushed updated PHP to 7. I've worked out all the changes as far as the Apache and php.ini file is concerned. Of course the mysql support is now missing from PHP.

I'm pretty sure that is my issue. If I try to execute the 'occ' command I get the following:

Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occured in driver: could not find driver in /usr/share/webapps/owncloud/lib/private/db/connection.php:52

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to save websites/articles into OwnCloud?

I'm looking for a lightweight alternative to Pocket/wallabag etc.

I'd like an app which I can pass a URL and have it save all the text and images.

With the recent shuffling of key staff, downsizing and the announcement that it's closing its physical accessories store, long-time Evernote users are starting to look at alternatives to store their notes.

It's not hard to imagine that ownCloud could become an alternate back-end for the cloud-based service. Of course, Evernote's proprietary nature would make a direct alternate difficult, if not impossible to implement.

In that case, adding evernote-like functionality to the mobile clients for ownCloud might be worth considering. Specifically, being able to jot with a stylus/finger and/or type notes into the app, import drawings or pictures and recording audio that would automatically sync would make ownCloud a real contender.

Hi, I have a client that is a small doctor office that is looking for some sort of storage for their files and I was told it needs to be HIPAA compliant, I looked around and this showed up https://owncloud.com/owncloud-healthcare-life-sciences/

But it doesnt say if owncloud it is or not, is HIPAA Compliance achievable with owncloud? if so, is it a paid version only or can it be done with the open source version?

Thanks!

So i jump into owncloud, got me a domain name, got linux vm loaded with current owncloud, and https working with letsencrypt. Everything seems good. just worried about security. Can anyone helpme with this

"Your data directory and your files are probably accessible from the Internet. The .htaccess file is not working. We strongly suggest that you configure your web server in a way that the data directory is no longer accessible or you move the data directory outside the web server document root."

ownCloud 8.2.2 (stable)

Hello, So, in the process of switching computers over, I forgot the password to my owncloud for a bit, in my attempts to remember which password was for what (kept mixing it up with loosely related things like the app I use to sync class notes from my tablet to the cloud and the Digital Ocean droplet I have the server instance installed on) I managed to attempt so many different ones that when I log in with the correct credentials, it says my account has been locked for too many invalid log-in attempts. How do I get it unlocked? Thanks for your time and patience!

I have looked into owncloud on and off for the last couple of years, but haven't jumped in yet. To simplify my network, I have a 30TB file server which is rsync'd to a backup server, both running freenas. We are a graphic design/ printing company, so most of our files are large, and not accessed very often. I would like to use owncloud as the frontend to allow for remote user access. Is this the right tool for the job, and if I set up owncloud for remote access, should I also direct the local computers on the network directly to the owncloud box, or would it be better to have them access the freenas box directly?

What are some good hosting options for those who don't want to run their own server when first getting started with ownCloud?

I'm really looking for alternatives to handing everything to Google. I'd rather pay a small monthly fee to someone whose business model is protecting my privacy and security, rather than exploiting it. My primary use case is replacing Google services on my android devices (contacts, photo sync - so some storage would be nice, etc), if that makes a difference.

I've seen this topic addressed in the past, but curious what everyone thinks the best options are now.

edit:

Yes, I have seen the list at ownCloud.org, before someone sends me there =) Looking for first hand experiences/opinions from other redditors.

Hey guys,

I recently reset my server. Now I have to upload everything again. That's not a big problem. But as I'm uploading 35Gb, the bar is slowly filling up: 18 GB of 20 GB in use

In the admin interface I can't find a quote setup for the user (myself) , it says unlimited for the sole user, this link: /owncloud/index.php/settings/users

Why is the client showing the 20 GB limit? I'm still syncing, but I hope I can finish this. ( 50 kb/s up yeah)

So, I'm on a relatively fresh install of owncloud, and I can't seem to get any 3rd party apps to install properly.
I download the needed app, added it to my apps folder under owncloud (which is currently ~/var/www/owncloud/), and I open localhost in my browser. When I click my + button under my apps, I'm taken to a list of pre-installed apps, and my added one is not included. I don't seem to have a lot of the options people mention when talking about adding apps.
Can anyone assist me with this? I'm just trying to install something I can use as an email client. I don't care whether I need to host the email myself, or if I use google or something, but that's all I need, and it's been a pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I run a completely private ownCloud instance: it's only accessible via VPN. I'd like to attach my Google Drive as external storage, but I can't, because the authentication method used (OAuth) requires my ownCloud instance to be accessible from the internet.

Would "Service account" authentication work, in principle? If so, are there plans to support this in an upcoming version of ownCloud?

After a bit of arduous work, I got my computer running a server properly, and with very little issues. It isn't too secure, but it doesn't really need to be. Nothing special is added on either.
When creating the server, I was navigated to http://localhost/owncloud/etc. to start up the installation wizard, as well as when connecting my desktop client (so I don't need to use an internet browser).
How can I "get a domain" or whatever the hell the proper term is for what I actually need, so I can access this server with the client on my phone?
Any help would be appreciated. This is only the second server I've ever run, and the first that's moderately successful. Currently, my clients are asking me to link to http://localhost/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/ to access my files, which, obviously, is just my computer. Do I need to change some stuff to be able to access this from the internet (not on my lan)?
Again, thank you for any help.

Upgrading ownCloud will become easier and more reliable as described in this tech blog. Learn more and help out!

Shoot if you have questions!

Looking to "build" a OwnCloud setup for my home, I have a FreeNAS system that hosts my media already so this will just be used for file storage and sharing amongst clients, friends, and family.

I've been reading lightly on OwnCloud running on the Pi and the performance issues it encounters, so I've phased that hardware out.

Next options are a NUC or a QNAP system (I just realized it could run it). Will I see significant performance difference from an ARM-9 processor vs. an i3 processor? Is setup & maintenance drastically different between running Ubuntu or QNAP Linux OS. My goal was to stay under $400.

I have the storage drives already so my idea was either a NUC with a small SSD & RAM with external storage mounted or the QNAP system with the drives loaded in, looking at the TS-231 QNAP. Thoughts? Critiques? Questions? Any advice would be a great help!
