[http://owncloud.org/ ownCloud] is WedDAV-based solution for storing and on-line sharing of your data, files, images, video, music, calendars and contacts. With Alpine, you can have your ownCloud instance up and running in 5 minutes!
 
= Installation =
{{pkg|ownCloud}} is available from Alpine v2.5 and later.
 
Before you start installing anything, make sure you have the latest packages available. Make sure you are using an 'http' repository in your {{path|/etc/apk/repositories}}, then run:
{{cmd|apk update}}
{{tip|Detailed information can be found in [[Include:Upgrading_to_latest_release|this]] doc.}}
 
== Database ==
First you have to decide which database to use. Follow one of the database alternatives shown below:
=== sqlite ===
All you need to do is to install the package
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-sqlite}}
 
=== postgresql ===
Install the package
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-pgsql}}
 
Configure and start the database
{{cmd|/etc/init.d/postgresql setup
/etc/init.d/postgresql start}}
 
Create a user and temporarily grant the CREATEDB privilege.
{{cmd|psql -U postgres
CREATE USER mycloud WITH PASSWORD 'test123';
ALTER ROLE mycloud CREATEDB;
\q}}
{{Note|Replace the above username 'mycloud' and password 'test123' with something secure. Remember these settings. You'll need them later.}}
 
=== mysql ===
Install the package
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-mysql mysql-client}}
 
Configure and start {{pkg|mysql}}
{{cmd|/etc/init.d/mysql setup
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation}}
Follow the wizard to set up passwords etc.
{{Note|Remember the usernames/passwords that you set with the wizard. You'll need them later.}}
 
Create a user, database and set permissions.
{{cmd|mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE owncloud;
GRANT ALL ON owncloud.* TO 'mycloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'test123';
GRANT ALL ON owncloud.* TO 'mycloud'@'localhost.localdomain' IDENTIFIED BY 'test123';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT}}
{{Note|Replace the above username 'mycloud' and password 'test123' with something secure. Remember these settings. You'll need them later.}}
 
{{pkg|mysql-client}} is no longer needed. To uninstall it, run:
{{cmd|apk del mysql-client}}
 
== Webserver ==
Choose, install and configure a webserver. In this example we will install {{pkg|nginx}} or {{pkg|lighttpd}}. ''Nginx'' is preferred over ''Lighttpd'' since the latter will consume a lot of memory when working with large files (see [http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/1283 lighty bug #1283]). You are free to install the webserver of your choice as long as it supports PHP and FastCGI. We won't be covering how to generate an SSL certificate for your webserver.
 
=== Nginx ===
Install the required packages
{{cmd|apk add nginx php-fpm}}
 
'''Remove/comment''' any section like this in
{{cat|/etc/nginx/nginx.conf|
server {
        listen ...
      }
}}
 
Include the following directive in
{{cat|/etc/nginx/nginx.conf|
http {
      ...
      include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
      ...
}}
 
Create a directory for your website
{{cmd|mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available}}
 
Create a configuration file for your site in /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.mydomain.com
<pre>
server {
        #listen      [::]:80; #uncomment for IPv6 support
        listen      80;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
server_name mysite.mydomain.com;
}
 
server {
        #listen      [::]:443 ssl; #uncomment for IPv6 support
        listen      443 ssl;
        server_name  mysite.mydomain.com;
 
root /var/www/vhosts/mysite.mydomain.com/www;
        index  index.php index.html index.htm;
disable_symlinks off;
 
        ssl_certificate      /etc/ssl/cert.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key  /etc/ssl/key.pem;
 
        ssl_session_cache    shared:SSL:1m;
        ssl_session_timeout  5m;
 
        #Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy and ciphers without known vulnerabilities
        #Beware! It breaks compatibility with older OS and browsers (e.g. Windows XP, Android 2.x, etc.)
#ssl_ciphers ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA;
        #ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;
 
 
        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
        }
 
        # pass the PHP scripts to the FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
        location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
                if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
                        return 404;
                }
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/socket;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi.conf;
}
}
</pre>
 
If you are running from RAM, and you're dealing with large files you might need to move the FastCGI temp file from /tmp to /var/tmp or to a directory that is mounted on a hard disk.
<pre>
fastcgi_temp_path /var/tmp/nginx/fastcgi 1 2;
</pre>
 
Large file upload takes some time to be processed by php-fpm. So you need to increase the Nginx default read timeout:
 
<pre>
fastcgi_read_timeout 300s;
</pre>
 
Set user and group for php-fpm in /etc/php/php-fpm.conf
<pre>
...
user = nginx
group = www-data
...
</pre>
 
{{Note|If you are serving multiple users, make sure to tune the *''children'' settings in /etc/php/php-fpm.conf}}
 
Make the nginx user a member of the www-data group
{{cmd|addgroup nginx www-data}}
 
Enable your website
{{cmd|ln -s ../sites-available/mysite.mydomain.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite.mydomain.com}}
 
Start services
{{cmd|rc-service php-fpm start
rc-service nginx start}}
 
=== Lighttpd ===
Install the package
{{cmd|apk add lighttpd php-cgi}}
 
Make sure you have FastCGI enabled in {{pkg|lighttpd}}:
{{cat|/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf|...
include "mod_fastcgi.conf"
...}}
 
Start the webserver
{{cmd|/etc/init.d/lighttpd start}}
 
{{tip|You might want to follow the [http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Lighttpd_Https_access Lighttpd_Https_access] doc in order to configure lighttpd to use https ''(securing your connections to your owncloud server)''.}}
 
Link {{pkg|owncloud}} installation to web server directory:
{{cmd|ln -s /usr/share/webapps/owncloud /var/www/localhost/htdocs}}
 
== Other settings ==
=== Hardening ===
Consider updating the variable <code>url.access-deny</code> in {{path|/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf}} for additional security. Add <code>"config.php"</code> to the variable ''(that's where the database is stored)'' so it looks something like this:
{{cat|/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf|...
url.access-deny {{=}} ("~", ".inc", "config.php")
...}}
Restart {{pkg|lighttpd}} to activate the changes
{{cmd|/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart}}
 
=== Additional packages ===
Some large apps, such as text editors, documents and video viewer are in separate packages:
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-texteditor owncloud-documents owncloud-videoviewer}}
 
= Configure and use ownCloud =
== Configure ==
Point your browser at <code><nowiki>https://mysite.mydomain.com</nowiki></code> and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation, supplying the database user and password created before.
 
== Hardening postgresql ==
If you have chosen PGSQL backend, revoke CREATEDB privilege from 'mycloud' user:
{{cmd|psql -U postgres
ALTER ROLE mycloud NOCREATEDB;
\q}}
 
== Increase upload size ==
Default configuration for php is limited to 2Mb file size. You might want to increase that size by editing the {{path|/etc/php/php.ini}} and change the following values to something that suits you:
<pre>
upload_max_filesize = 2M
post_max_size = 8M
</pre>
 
== Clients ==
There are clients available for many platforms, Android included:
* http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/ ''(ownCloud Sync clients)''
* http://owncloud.org/support/android/ ''(Android client)''
