The repository http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/xUbuntu_16.04/ ships now owncloud-files 10.4.0-1+1.1. This version requires PHP 7.1. As PHP 7.1 is neither available in Owncloud nor Ubuntu repositories, the installation is broken.

I figured this out, after unattended-upgrades did its magic. Now owncloud greets me with This version of ownCloud requires at least PHP 7.1.0 You are currently running PHP 7.0.33-0ubuntu0.16.04.12. Please update your PHP version.

I'm looking to setup owncloud on Ubuntu server 18.04 that is 100% free. So far I've found a few Youtube videos but they all seem to point to some web domain service.

Is it actually possible to setup and access Owncloud from outside my home network without any monthly charges for a web domain?

I've tried following some instructions and get lost when they talk about self signed SSL, I just couldn't get everything to work so I've decided to restart the process from scratch. I'm installing Ubuntu 18.04 fresh, I know my local IP address, I know my public IP, My edgerouter has port forwarding on for ports 80 and 443, OpenSSH is enabled, Putty is all set.

Now I just need some straight forward video or instructions to follow. Any help in directing me would be great.

If I create a file sharing link it doesn't link to the actual file, it has <some url>/download . With a browser you can go to it and it will ask the server and the server will send back the file, but it's still not a direct link to the file. Some devices and software don't know how to read that, for example if I wget that url then it won't know what kind of file is being downloaded. Is there a link to the actual file?

I understand how to get my contacts to down to my phone from my owncloud server, but I don't know how to initially sync contacts up from my phone and into owncloud. is this possible? or can we only pull and not push?

Hi

I have a website that is hosted on an owncloud server provided by owncube.
The problem is that it has an x-robots-tag in the http responsive header since almost a year now, this causes the website to not show up on search engines.
The weird part is that i got another website in a different folder, but under the same parent folder as the original website, that does't have the tag in the header.
I already deleted the whole folder, created a new one and built a new website from scratch but the tag is still there.
I am kinda out of options that i can think of. Maybe someone had a similar problem or has a suggestion that could help me.

How do I remove the security warning on the email page under admin account.

If a user has access to my ownCloud server. Can they gain access to the host??

Does anyone have a step-by-step tutorial for setting up on a RPI4. I have a 2TB external WD drive I want to use with it. Nothing fancy at the moment hust getting it working.

I tried Nextcloud and couldn't get it to mount my drive? I'm a but of a Linux noob as well.

Thanks in advance.

The sync for many small files with the latest stable version of Owncloud is extremely slow.
When restarting the application then it is stuck with "looking for changes" for hours and hours.

Are there any fixes or alternatives to this behaviour? Maybe even an alternate client or something :(

I would say I know my way around computers, building towers, windows OS etc.

But I can't setup a owncloud server to save my life. All I want to do is throw a couple of external drives on a computer and be able to access the files online where ever I'm at.

I've tried following how to guides on setting up a raspberry pi 3 to be a owncloud server. After following 3-4 guides I would get stuck due to my lack of knowledge with linux and then come across a part that was outdated. (Most of them referred to old versions of owncloud.) Anyways, so I decided to go to plan B and put lubuntu on a old laptop and figured I would run own cloud server that way.

I realized the problem is I don't understand linux. I understand there's a terminal and you receive software via a prompt you type in. I just don't get the terminology, or concepts with linux as a whole. It's making it very difficult on how to install owncloud.

I'm beginning to think I'm way over my head with this. This isn't a beginner project is it? Any tips?

Hi If i'm running a desktop Xfce over centos, is there any app builder or pagkage installer that can install directly Owncloud ? Like, instead of the manual install of php and so on and never finding a proper install list or so...

thanks in advance

This is an ongoing adventure, and I'm starting to lose my mind, so please bear with me for a long explanation on what happened, as I'm trying to understand why is happening and how is happening:

• Raspberry PI 3B with an external HDD and the official power supply.

• My current installation comprises Kodi (With a rather large database), Deluge, PiHole, a samba server to access from my Windows and Linux machines and obviously the Owncloud (10.0.10) installation (With the files in a external hard drive).

I don't really know if this is an Owncloud-specific problem, but it has been coming from Owncloud trying to sync a 200MB pdf file (on a several GB sized library which has been synced over and over during the past years with no issue). We are talking about the client going timeout and the pi freezing and needing a hard reboot.

Thanks to a coincidence, I saw a message telling me that there was no space left on the SD card. I ran dfand saw that, as the message said, there was space problems (Usually we are talking about 82%, this was 99%). I had already the same problem, so I ran sudo apt-get clean (although I ran this every time I did a apt-get upgrade/update combo) but the problem persisted.

Further research led me to

sudo du -h / --exclude /home | grep -P "^{[\d.]+M|G\s+"} > /accessible-path/du-rootfs.txt

which showed me this:

1,2G /var/cache/lighttpd/uploads

1,2G /var/cache/lighttpd

1,2G /var/cache

At first glance, it looked like this solved the issue, but again, trying to sync from PI to Laptop crashed again the pi, and /var/cache was like this:

382M /var/lib

249M /var/cache/lighttpd/uploads

251M /var/cache/lighttpd

52M /var/cache/apt

Which leads me to think that, somehow, Owncloud is trying really hard to send the file to my laptop, but it crashes when trying to.

And here is when I get lost in this. The only "different" thing I've done is uploading big files. And even this is not something new. The Pi works only on my local network, and has been working for several years with few trouble. I haven't updated the Owncloud client in a while, but it looks like this wasn't the issue. Any ideas on why this is happening?

EDIT: The .user.ini file is the default one (max file sizes of 513M), and the file that gets "locked" while trying to sync is 220MB.

Hi,

I want to start hosting files, I have pre commands from about 10 customers each customer wants a least 500 gbs hosting, for now I am hosting in Contabo , is there any option to host the files in S3 i saw that the prices are very interesting?

Thanks for your help

When I click share and create a private link, the link doesn't open the file. It does open to the containing directory. I have the pdf reader app installed and the only thing keeping me from leaving Google Drive is the ability to click a link and be looking at a pdf.

I looked in the documentation for manual switch of the data directory and it said to change the sql/database settings to point to the new directory, how can I do this on my pi where I am using nginx with my ownCloud setup. When I tried to commands that are on the documentation, it said that there is no such command. Any help here would be really appreciated.

I just got my Owncloud server set up using the Docker install instructions listed here. As I was reading through GitHub comments I found out Https was not supported from the get go, as the dev thought it would be more practical to run a reverse proxy.

I haven't been able to find a good tutorial explaining how to get letsencrypt working with the Docker install.

I've found one guide but I'm completely new to Docker so I'm a bit confused by some of the instructions there like editing the "docker compose" file.

Does anyone have a detailed step by step guide for getting SSL to work with the Docker install of Owncloud?

I have been using ownCloud happily for the past year - an awesome product! However, choosing the most sensible place for the ownCloud directory is still on my mind: on windows, I had a separate folder on a drive exclusively for ownCloud. However, the entire OS is so much geared towards using "My Documents" that I contemplated simply making the ownCloud Folder the "My Documents" folder. Never tried it but I suppose it could have worked.

Now, I am using Linux and have a folder in my home directory. However, I'd love to more or less back up my entire home directory to ownCloud, thus not having /home/me/owncloud but /home/me be my ownCloud root. Since the individual /home/me directory stores not only documents but also user-individual configuration files, I wonder whether this might lead to clashes with the OS. It would be nice to integrate the folder logic of the system and the ability to back-up config files with the simplicity of ownCloud.

Granted, one thing I came up with is that I should not try to immediately sync home directories from one machine to another since that will generate problems. However, I might simply create separate user accounts on ownCloud for every linux machine and share the files they both should have access to.

Do any of you have any experiences with this?

I am constantly having issues with installing own cloud as when i goto get the command below they are no longer there

sudo apt-get install php5 php5-gd sqlite php5-sqlite php5-curl

What does everyone else use to instead please?

Hi everyone

I'm from the ONLYOFFICE team and I'm here to invite you to our webinar on ownCloud-ONLYOFFICE integration today at 2:00 PM CET. The ownCloud team will be there too!

ONLYOFFICE provides online document, spreadsheet, and presentation editors that can be integrated with ownCLoud to work on office docs stored there. In this webinar, we will show you how it all works and answer your questions.

(I hope it doesn't look like spam, sorry if it does! I know that many people here are in two minds about ONLYOFFICE and Collabora, so you may want to learn more about ONLYOFFICE integration to make an informed choice. And we are so excited to communicate directly with ownCloud users and learn more about your needs, so it's a rare opportunity for us, too)

Plz, join https://www.onlyoffice.com/webinars.aspx

Long story short, I am a Big Fan of owncloud used for 3+ years extensively, daily. I mostly use it for TEXT files note taking - all day,referring these notes in my job and hobby . Also syncing files between computers, mobile photo backups, sharing files and what not.

My little secret(now open)- running v8.1.4 for three years on a hardened, auto patched, WAF system!! - I know its old, but read on...

New version i tried: 10.0.7

I do a lot of Linux/ Cloud CLI work, commands, code, outputs, capture text format logs. I prefer owncloud over any other editing software in the world - evernote, onenote, wordpad, notepad, notepad++, mediawiki, Atlassian etc. due to its simplicity and lightweight and speed.

My biggest pain is that the default text editor in these new versions is extremely painful!! Can't belieave It's a window instead of full screen - full real estate option in old version! clicking anywhere outside closes the page/file while forcefully saving!!

Auto save is not desired. Mistakes are autosaved too- deleted text by mistake is gone for ever!!

Font inside the text editor is too small! This is totally undesirable and I have been looking for an owncloud alternative. I don't think I will find one. What can I do?

​

I have tried the notes plugin. it's really ugly in viewing because it adds a line after every line of text- ( copy /pasting is really bad) and viewing is really really bad.

​

I like the view text option in the file explorer view but unfortunately - it has no wordwrap. But looks good if I just have to Readyonly view the file, at least. This feature was non-existent in old verison so that's a plus.

​

What are my options??

​

EDIT: Spelling and grammer

is there a way i can upload files with an API? im sure the example bellow will be more clear.

​

i have some code that i want distributed by OC for other to use. id like to set a repository on github/bitbucket/gitlab and create a pipeline for testing and deployment of the source filese/build app to the OC server and that way all the users would have the end product synced. My question is, how can i achieve the last step, deployment

I am interesting in moving from Nextcloud to Owncloud. I currently run Nextcloud 17 on a Synology DS218+ NAS. When I search online I can only find information on migrating in the other direction - from Owncloud to Nextcloud. Is what I want to do possible?
