Great job! This toutorial worked great for me!

I don't know if you are still maintaining this, but a new version of owncloud has come out and you have to update your urls in your curl command.

Also, if anyone else if having problems with a gateway timout error, I used this guide and it seems to have fixed it for me: https://easyengine.io/tutorials/php/increase-script-execution-time/

Good afternoon, I need help ...

I already have my owncloud running on Raspberry successfully PI2, but I am faced with the following:

I can only get 2 Gigas in total, even as administrator owncloud.

I have a HD with 500G, how can I change the situation so you can use the HD completely, or put anything you want in owncloud?

Thank you in advance

Fantastic tutorial - just completed it with a RPI3 (arrived this morning) and it all went very smooth. Thanks!

I had to use php5-curl, and used /dev/sda1 instead of my UUID. I'm running Ubuntu-Mate (15x Ubuntu with aptitude!) and it's running perfectly. Thanks for the great work.

I'm using owncloud 8.2.2 btw.

The ssl cert seemed to work, but Chrome still says it's nasty. Anyway, something to work on [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-67d70236-d6b1-4b2f-a903-3f64a3be1248/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

anybody got this to work with a no-ip dynamic dns?

i can access if i use the ip address and port forward a random 5 digit external and 443 internal: https://xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxxx but this ip is subject to change, hence the need for no-ip

it will not work if i use https://my-domain-name.net

if i enter the domain my-domain-name.net without https i get an error 400 saying http is being sent to a https port, and the ip address becomes displayed in the address bar

if i enter https://my-domain-name.net/ or https://www.my-domain-name.net/ the browser just hangs and eventually says the server is not responding.

i set up the no-ip client and noip2 -S shows that my domains are configured to the correct ip address.

i have 4 hosts configured:

host -.my-domain-name.net

host ftp.my-domain-name.net

host mail.my-domain-name.net

host www.my-domain-name.net

how should nginx be set up so that https://my-domain-name.net/ will redirect to the owncloud?

thanks

I just went through the tutorial a couple of times, installing version 8.2.1 instead of the mentioned 8.0.2. I actually went through the process 3 times, one time screwing everything up with some accidental commands. Both of the times I got through the installation, it came up with this error message:

PHP module cURL not installed.

Please ask your server administrator to install the module.

PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?

Please ask your server administrator to restart the web server.

I just went back and followed all the ownCloud installation instructions from this tutorial using version 8.0.2 and it seems to work fine. What could the problem be with version 8.2.1?

Just copied my comment on G+ to the blog:

Nice tutorial, one point seems missing: Mention how to backup the database automatically. I had owncloud installed and tested and always was thinking "Make a sql backup script." but never done it (and learned it the hard way).

Now I run a script with cron every night:

mysqldump --defaults-extra-file=/etc/sqldump.cf DBNAME | gzip > "/mnt/ext/backup/$(date '+%F').sql.gz"

find /mnt/ext/backup -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

The script just makes an sqldump, gzip compresses it and writes it to a pendrive. Then it searches for backups older than 7 days an deletes them.

SQL-User and Password are defined in the /etc/sqldump.cf (readable only for the user running the script) file so SQL password and user don't show up if someone uses ps at the machine.

Hi Dave. Great walkthrough! I am running into a seemingly odd situation. On step 9, you say to replace all of the contents of the file, I can create the file and write all of the new information, but the file does not exist when I get to step 9. Should I just write this file and drive on, or is there another issue that I should troubleshoot first? Thanks.

Thanks for this tutorial, Dave. It can be a challenge for us non Linix types to get this stuff working. A couple of more comments having gone thru the whole thing and gotten it working:

1, Minor nit: "rm -rf owncloud owncloud-7.0.1.tar.bz2"

Should be 8.02 or whatever package you installed.

2. After going thru it all, it was not pointing to the USB drive. The data was going on the sd card. There are a few steps missing to make sure the USB drive is being used. Make sure in /var/owncloud/config/config.php that the data directory is pointing to your USB mount point for your external disk. There is supposed to be a dialog for this in the admin setup, but I never saw it. Also the data directory on your USB must be owned by www-data (the web server user) so you have to set that permission with a chown command. There are examples of this in "how to move your data directory" in the owncloud forums.

Set this up with a Pi 2 and a seagate external drive. It all worked as advertised except the automounting of the hard drive. Apparently, there is a timing issue in the kernal of the Pi 2 that interferes with the automounting of the hard drive. You have to put a time delay in the init.d/cmdline.txt file to delay the boot up so it can recognze the hard drive. I used a delay of 5, but this does not work for everyone. Search the Pi forums for discussion of this issue.

thx for the guide.

But if I want to use from the internet I had to modify /var/www/owncloud/config/config/php and I had to add the dyndns name. Otherwise I got an unknown error in the android ownloud app.

I found the solution here:

nginx fails to start on boot, Mister Young.

I tried "sudo nginx" in the terminal and it responded with:

nginx: [emerg] "server" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/sites/enabled/default:11

Neither is a there a /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf file. fpm is non-existential.

I've no idea how to proceed. Guidance would be appreciated, Sir.

This is a fantastic tutorial - thank you very much. I've tried others, some of which you reference, but all ran into trouble and errors. Using yours, but going with my externally-facing IP at step 9, I've now got ownCloud up and running in the big wide world via browser as well as iOS and Android apps. the NOIP.com forwarding works, there are tutorials on installing NOIP software so that NOIP.com can keep track of your external IP in case it changes, and it didn't hurt to dig out a tutorial on installing Webmin to monitor the Pi's state. But yes, this tutorial has been a lifesaver - I was about to give up for good. Can't thank you enough. Because of logistics I can't hook up the hard drive yet, so I'm just using the SD card, making for a tiny little cloud, but it still works.
