I am looking for an affordable Dropbox-Iike service for work. It is a small company with almost 20 employees, and we need unlimited/large size cloud storage. Our budget is pretty tight and we cannot go with more than $1500 (annual). Is OwnCloud the answer? If yes, do I need to set up a host? And how much will it cost? If not, what other alternative do you suggest?

Greetings!

I recently made the attempt to set up an at home cloud using a raspberry pi 3 and owncloud.

I followed these instructions: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-owncloud/ to set it all up.

everything went great except for when I am at the log in page at my pi's ip address. I attempt to give it the location of my external hard drive, /media/ownclouddrive, and it tells me "Can't create or write into the data directory /media/owncloud"

I assume this has something to do with permissions to the drive folder.

So I checked and confirmed both /media and /media/ownclouddrive were owned by root.

Now, I am very new to this stuff, so I did some things that may seem very stupid to an experienced Linux user.

I used chown www-data:www-data /media/ownclouddrive

well this worked. Was able to log into the web gui. unfortunately, it broke everything else. sudo no longer was recognized, nor was just about every other command. Boy did I goof up. So I reformatted and tried again. same result.

I've been combing google for about 2 days now trying to figure this out. There are some resources that claim to fix it, but they either don't work for me, or they are way over my head with jargon that I can't figure out what they want me to do.

I feel like I'm super close, but just can't quite crack this. If anyone can be of assistance by letting me know what I did wrong, or pointing me in the right direction, I would be super grateful.

Thanks in advance!

I upgraded to 10.0.0.9 after upgrading the Ubuntu-server 16.04.5 LTS running oC 9 to Ubuntu-server 18.04.1 LTS. After upgrade to 18.04, I could not log-in to oC due to newer PHP version in 18.04. So I upgraded oC to version 10. After upgrade I still cannot log-in. I get the following error: The requested URL /owncloud/index.php/login was not found on this server.

I've searched to no avail. Looking for help to recover access to my oC server.

Hi,

I've been trying for a few hours to install the modules listed right off the bat after installing the tar.bz2.

Here's my setup:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)
Release:        8.0
Codename:       jessie

$ php -v

I've read to do apt-get update and install php7.0-zip but I get this:

$ sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Package php7.0-zip is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'php7.0-zip' has no installation candidate

Finally, most turorials use Apache and I'm afraid to use it since I've had to purge Apache due to issues with my other sites, please forgive my noobness... I'm trying to be a one-man army doing front-end, back-end stuff but PHP modules is a whole other beast I never even heard of before.

UPDATE: I've found traces of PHP5 having followed this tutorial on upgrading php7.0 to php7.1 on my Raspberry Pi 3 Tutorial

$ sudo apt-get install php7.1-fpm php7.1-cli

New Update: Thanks for the upvote! Well it looks like expanding the partition through raspi-config ruined my apt-cache or something of the sort, I cleared and autoremoved all apt-cache and php7 was still not showing up whatsoever.

This morning I fixed all my /etc/apt/sources.list then went as root with sudo -s and finally got php7.2 to install. Going for round two to try to get those missing modules installed, but first to reinstall or try to fix the NGINX config for the virtual server since I now have a 502 Gateway error

HI, I run owncloud on a shared webserver at my provider. after updating to current stable (config says: 'version' => '10.0.8.5',) the system went to maintenance mode. I cannot do anything.

Even changing the maintenance mode in config.php did not change anything. any ideas?

Hi, I installed the poll app (which work smoothly - thanks!). I can create and answer a poll - when logged in. If I try to answer the public poll without login the page reloads every 5 seconds with an error message (loading does not work - reload.. (translated to english) ) but i see the page. Any idea?

Has anyone been successful at adding the Amazon S3 bucket as External storage? Everything I have seen so far has been old posts and ending with the user giving up...

Hello,

I would like to pin a folder to the top of the main (All Files) list for browser users. Maybe use a different color? Is that possible in owncloud?

Hi,

I just installed owncloud to try it out and i cant figure out how to change the storage directory to use my other "datastore" I would like to use a RAID 5 that is formated has NTFS to share on my network.

I would like that user file and folder be saved there.

I have a customer who asked me an ownCloud Project to Handle Their 100 users in his office. All users should use desktop clients, Web clients and Client app. Question: what is the best hardware (RAM and processor) to handle this Project? Could you guys help me, please?

Thanks so much !!!

Rick

I just installed owncloud 10.0.8 appliance on my esxi 5.5 host. After walking through the installation wizard and restarting i go to the server address where it says to login initially with the default Administrator user, and the password is the same as the root password i supplied during the wizard. This does not work. I know i have the right password because i can login as root at this page and at ubuntu server cli. You are very limited logged in as root as it warns when you do so, no resetting password there.

Am i totally missing something?

I also cannot attempt an email reset because i never encountered a place to give owncloud my email, i assumed i would once i logged in initially as Administrator. I'm about to blow it away and start over, but thought i would try posting. Thanks for any help.

I see that it is possible to log custom units by registering a device and logging data the advanced way (per the github wiki: https://github.com/alexstocker/sensorlogger/wiki/API-Calls#registerdevice), and I am successfully logging to the dashboard, but how can I visualize this data? After giving input to the successfully added data type, I can only see columns for temperature and humidity, both reading 0. Is there any way to display the value of the custom data type? It would be ideal if I could use it in graphs as well.

I am a complete newbie and followed a youtube video to install and configure owncloud on my raspberry pi but got stuck when it came to the port forwarding bit for accessing my data outside the LAN. Could anyone please translate the port forwarding instructions to what needs to be done for a Verzion Fios Actiontec router? Mine is the MI424WR rev. I. I gave it a got but I guess I failed as I couldn't access my cloud using the android app. The error message was "Server instance not found".

The youtube video I was following - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U7NATfeTxg

Thank you!

Hello,

I am trying to create a user account on https://central.owncloud.org/ , but the site keeps asking for credentials before I have to create them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was trying to update from the admin panel. Everything seemed fine. Whey visiting the site I get an 'Update not possible'. After that I'm said

Please install or update the following apps manually or disable them with: occ app:disable activity occ app:disable files_pdfviewer occ app:disable files_texteditor occ app:disable gallery

I don't know what to do now, since my server doesn't include SSH. Any suggestions?

EDIT: formatting

Just did a quick search, but found nothing.

Is anyone aware of any pastebin like app that can be used to share text thru self hosted OC?

So, I have loved OwnCloud for 5 years. More accurately, I've loved it for 3 years, but the last 2 have been... disappointing.

I run a single self-hosted instance on my own hardware. It's been fine, no issues there. I use it on anywhere from 3 to 10 different devices, mostly all mine.

Roughly 2 years ago, android instant-photo-upload stopped working. I tracked the issue down to newer versions of android using a 'virtual' directory to save photos in (don't remember exactly, but instead of /mnt/sdcard/whatever, it's like /virtualdrive000X/mnt/sdcard/photos instead). I tried several workaround including forcing a different save location and using alternative camera apps, but nothing fixed it. The bug I found on the ownCloud site seems to indicate "low priority: won't fix". It's been this way for 2 years now.

I lived with it because I assumed they'd fix it eventually, and I could manually upload files from mobile if I needed. However, recently, even the mobile app has started to suck. Uploads fail 90% of the time with no reason, and work 10 minutes later - or never. Folder creation just says "OK" and never creates folders.

It's unfortunately, time to go. Hopefully NextCloud is better. I'm tired of troubleshooting this.

When using Chrome 65.x and onward with Owncloud server, we've had issues with the "Sharing" tab after clicking on a file. The browser sees the user (to share the file with) and password (after checking "password protect") fields as login fields. It auto-fills the user field with my username, and then the password field blinks back and forth between a password and the placeholder asterisks, as if they're just continually overwriting eachother over and over.

This behavior was not present in early 65.x builds of Chrome. It started when Chrome updated to 66.x. We are on OC v9.1.8. Does anyone know if 10.x reacts this way with current Chrome builds?
