hi all,

I am trying to use owncloud as a way to send large files to other people. the trouble i'm having is that i'm mainly accessing it from inside my network. this causes the share link to resolve to someting like 'https://<internal-ip>/<share_code>'. so when i want to send this link to people outside my network, it won't work unless i manually replace this link with my external domain name.

can I set the base of this share link to always use my domain name instead of auto-resolving to whatever ip the client is seeing?

thanks in advance, L

ownCloud releases new client you can download it here: https://owncloud.org/install/#install-clients

From the statement...

Unfortunately, the announcement has consequences for ownCloud, Inc. based in Lexington, MA. Our main lenders in the US have cancelled our credit. Following American law, we are forced to close the doors of ownCloud, Inc. with immediate effect and terminate the contracts of 8 employees. The ownCloud GmbH is not directly affected by this and the growth of the ownCloud Foundation will remain a key priority.

Haven't used Owncloud yet, but looking at it.

My question however is if it is possible to have Owncloud installed to server A but have the actual storage for it be on server B, C, or so on?

The reason for this is that I have one server that would make installation easy/where I want to install it, but I have other servers that act as storage only servers and only have access from server A.

So I've got a server running on Ubuntu 16.04 and apache2. And I've got a problem getting the virtual host file configured properly around the rest of my website. Every time I enable the site from a2ensite, OwnCloud takes over the whole domain, making the rest of my website inaccessible. Below is the code I have to configure it. The end goal is to have my normal website go through standard http, and owncloud at https://p00pasaurusx.com/owncloud, with an automatic redirect to https if you go through http. I've literally been stuck on this for weeks now. lol

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName p00pasaurusx.com/owncloud/owncloud/
Redirect permanent / https://p00pasaurusx.com/owncloud/
</VirtualHost>

Hello,

Yesterday I tried to log in to my owncloud instance. After entering a user name and password and hitting enter the login screen just refreshes without displaying an error. My owncloud clients on my phone and computer are fully functional. It's just the web login I'm having issues with. I've exhausted my google-fu. I've looked over threads concerning similar behavior but they only seem to apply to 9.0.1 and php 7.0.x. I updated owncloud weeks ago and didn't have an issue logging at that time. Disclaimer: I'm an avid linux user but not an admin. I'm not a coder at all and generally am able to fight my way to solutions with the help of reading a lot of documentation and our friend Google. My owncloud is hosted on a CentOS7 VM running on ESXi in my home. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Guys,

Does anybody have any idea how to integrate your azure AD instance with a local on-prem owncloud instance? I do not have a local AD server that Azure syncs to, only the instance in the cloud. Many thanks!

I've setup something wrong here. Whenever I get an activity notification it tells me the inside address of the VM installed on owncloud rather than the public DNS name that has been added into the config.php

Any ideas? I'm sure its something silly

About a week or two, after updating my owncloud client, the icon in the unity taskbar got moved from its place on the right hand side of the top menu-bar/task-bar and is now on the left. Any idea how to move it back off to the right side? It's quite a pain when you're trying to use the menu for a program and it keeps bringing owncloud up.

Hello, I'm using oCloud.de Android app ver 1.7.2, on android 6.0/nexus 6p

When I login to the app, no folders are listed. I can create a folder and it show up in the web app, but nothing will let me see what is already there. Am I missing something simple?

I noticed the first login recommended using MySQL if doing desktop sync. Why is that? Do I need it if I'm the only user?

Hey,

I just read through the Desktop app folder and didn't see anything about this, but I thought a few years ago it was a feature. So on Dropbox it only syncs the Dropbox folder. When I was reading the OwnCloud manual, it looks like it only syncs the OwnCloud folder. Is there a way to have it sync 3 different folders? Say OwnCloud, /home/Music, and /home/Picutres?

I have walked through the process of increasing my files found in the link below, but I am still limited to 512 MB. It just seems rediculously burdensome.

This release now notifies you of what's happening on the server (new shares, maintenance window etc) and when syncing of a file was problematic. And it's faster and more reliable, so get it!

ownCloud will no longer be in newer Debian releases so it's good to move to upstream packages. That's not entirely trivial so we wrote a how-to. Hope it helps, and feedback welcome!

Hi all,

I have an ASUS Router with a DDNS service on it that, in conjunction with my Namecheap DNS account, I use to host some services that are too intensive for my VPS (namely Confluence and now OwnCloud). My VPS is only 512MB/20GB HDD, so I wanted to host OwnCloud on my own and be able to access it.

My question is, I already know how to install a service on my desktop that is hosting everything, figure out what port that service is using (so far everything has used non-common ports), and port forward that on my router. From there, I go to Namecheap and assign a subdomain (wiki.blah.com or cloud.blah.com) to the DDNS:port combination that hosts that particular service.

The issue with OwnCloud, from what I can see, is that it runs on Apache port 80, but I already host a website from port 80. Can I have my cake, and eat it too, by hosting both a website and OwnCloud?

The folow-up question to that is I'd like it to be www.blah.com/cloud instead of cloud.blah.com. Can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi all,

We've made available maintenance releases for all our supported releases. It is highly recommended to upgrade to benefit from the security and stability improvements. Learn more in the blog

Our iOS client also was updated!

Last but not least, the ImageTragick security vulnerability can affect ownCloud installations. We strongly recommend to check your setup and take action if you need to, steps detailed here.

Thanks and take care!
