{{Obsolete|OwnCloud is deprecated in favor of [[Nextcloud|Nextcloud]]}}
 
= Installation =
{{pkg|ownCloud}} is available from Alpine 2.5 and greater.
 
Before you start installing anything, make sure you have latest packages available. Make sure you are using a 'http' repository in your {{path|/etc/apk/repositories}} and then run:
{{cmd|apk update}}
{{tip|Detailed information is found in [[Include:Upgrading_to_latest_release|this]] doc.}}
 
== Database ==
First you have to decide which database to use. Follow one of the below database alternatives.
=== sqlite ===
All you need to do is to install the package
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-sqlite}}
{{warning|{{pkg|sqlite}}+{{pkg|owncould}} is known to have some problem, so do not expect it work. This note should be removed when {{pkg|sqlite}}+{{pkg|owncould}} works. <br>''(Still a problem at 2012-11-15)''}}
=== postgresql ===
Install the package
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-psql}}
 
Next thing is to configure and start the database
{{cmd|/etc/init.d/postgresql setup
/etc/init.d/postgresql start}}
 
Next you need to create a user, and temporary grant CREATEDB privilege.
{{cmd|# psql -U postgres
postgres{{=}}# CREATE USER owncloud WITH PASSWORD '<%STRONG_PASSWORD%>';
postgres{{=}}# ALTER ROLE owncloud CREATEDB;
postgres{{=}}# \q}}
{{note|The above commands creates the user 'owncloud' with a password you provide. Remember these settings, you will need them later when setting up owncloud}}
 
=== mysql ===
Install the package
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-mysql mysql-client}}
 
Now 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 setup passwords etc.
{{Note|Remember the usernames/passwords that you set using the wizard, you will need them later.}}
 
Next you need to create a user, database and set permissions.
{{cmd|mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE owncloud;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO "mycloud"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "mypassword";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT}}
{{Note|Replace the above 'mycloud' and 'mypassword' to something secure}}
 
{{todo|The mysql setup is not yet tested and verified. Please update/bugfix the mysql-notes above and remove this note when verified that it works.}}
 
== Webserver ==
Next thing is to choose, install and configure a webserver. Choose one alternative from below ''(or setup a webserver of your choise)''
 
=== lighttpd ===
Install the package
{{cmd|apk add lighttpd}}
 
Make sure you have FastCGI enabled in {{pkg|lighttpd}}:
{{cat|/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf|...
include "mod_fastcgi.conf"
...}}
 
Start up the webserver
{{cmd|/etc/init.d/lighttpd start}}
 
=== XYZ webserver ===
You could try installing some other webserver and document it here
* Apache2
* cherokee
* other...
 
=== Other ===
Link owncloud installation to web server directory:
{{cmd|ln -s /usr/share/webapps/owncloud /var/www/localhost/htdocs/owncloud}}
 
== Other settings ==
=== Hardening ===
Consider adding the following line for additional security to the owncloud configuration file, where the password database is stored:
{{cat|/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf|...
url.access-deny {{=}} ("config.php")
...}}
 
=== Folder permissions ===
The web server user needs to have ownership on some dirs. This is fixed by running the following commands:
{{cmd|chown -R lighttpd.lighttpd /etc/owncloud
chown -R lighttpd.lighttpd /usr/share/webapps/owncloud/apps
chown -R lighttpd.lighttpd /var/lib/owncloud/data}}
 
=== Additional packages ===
Some large apps, such as texteditor and videoviewer are in separate package:
{{cmd|apk add owncloud-texteditor owncloud-videoviewer}}
 
= Configure and use ownCloud =
== Configure ==
Point your browser at <code><nowiki>http://<%MY_SERVER_IP%>/owncloud</nowiki></code> and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation, supplying the database user and password created before.
 
== Clients ==
There are clients available for many platforms, Android included:
* http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/ ''(ownCloud Sync clients)''
