ownCloud

[jmurre]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to install ownCloud (http://www.owncloud.org) on a Synology? This is a cloud service that can use WebDav and FTP.
On the install page I can see that "Web server with Apache, PHP >= 5.2 & MySQL/SQLite" is needed, so it should work somehow with a Synology. I tried it, but my knowledge is not sufficient for this.

Below is the install guide (looks simple enough):

1. Download ownCloud from repository: git clone git://gitorious.org/owncloud/owncloud.git

2. Give rights to the web server via FTP client, create a directory data, set permissions to 750 and those of config/ to 777
If you are in a shared hosting environment, your ftp-user and the user the webserver runs on might not be the same. If you get an error about permissions while trying to install or while trying to upload use 770 instead, but be aware of that your data could be writable for other users on the server then. Please refer to your web host’s documentation for their specific implementation of user rights.

3. via SSH without root: setfacl -Rm d:u:YOUR-SSH-USERNAME:rwx,u:www-data:rwx owncloud/ (only works when acl is installed)

4.via SSH with root: chown -R www-data:www-data owncloud/
(on Debian-like distributions, the Apache user & group is www-data, while on e.g. CentOS, it’s apache.)

5.Enable the .htaccess if that’s not automatic for your server
You need to edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, look for /var/www and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All if not already set. Otherwise your files will be viewable from the web.
Then restart Apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

6.Open the address of ownCloud’s subdirectory in a web browser and fill out the installation form.

I have cloned the installation and set the rights on the data folder. From point 3, I have trouble executing the given lines. When I try to open the page without points 3,4 and 5 I get:

Code: Select all

Data directory (/volume1/web/owncloud/data) not writable by ownCloud

Permissions can usually be fixed by giving the webserver write access to the ownCloud directory


Anyone who can help me with this?

Hi,

Looks like a nice piece of software

You should use the CLI via SSH and change the permissions for the ownCloud directory to nobody:nobody. The apache runs as nobody.
If you use mysql be careful to name the database without any capitals because the wizard will try to create the database with only lowercase letters

You should use the CLI via SSH and change the permissions for the ownCloud directory to nobody:nobody. The apache runs as nobody.

sjeph8je is right.
So to install owncloud.

1. SSH in as root
2. Paste the following code.

Code: Select all

cd /volume1/web/
git clone git://gitorious.org/owncloud/owncloud.git
mkdir /volume1/web/owncloud/data
chmod 750 /volume1/web/owncloud/data
chmod 777 -R /volume1/web/owncloud/config
chown -R nobody:nobody /volume1/web/owncloud/

.... you should be good to go after that.

Great, that helped a lot. I was able to configure the application now with MySQL and a login. There are still some minor issues I see pop-up, but it seems to be working for now.

Looks like an awesome package I have been looking for something like this for a while.

Did you get everything running yet?

[kerryandjane]

Works for me.

I've created an spk feel free to download and use as you will.

Just follow the instructions above and from the install and you should get it up an running.

That said it looks like browser support is flaky, with opera I can't upload any files because the button isn't working. IE doesn't show all titles / options.

Still it is workable

I still have some strange issues. When I open the Settings page and then go to admin, the upper part of the page is filled with:

Code: Select all

Anyone has any idea what to do about this?

@ kerryandjane
Thanks for your shell commands. They worked like a charm.
The pkg didn't btw.

I followed the instructions here first.
http://www.chainsawonatireswing.com/201 ... on-ds411j/

and installed git and mp3info

which @jmurre, should solve your problem.

[local.bin]

Thanks for the pkg

Anyone else tried the package to understand what is missing from the install perhaps?

I found this package source:

easy config and set up.

Now just trying to figure out how to log in from outside my network and configure iCal and iPhone Address Book

With this package it just works out of the box, using sqlite database.

I've just setup this on my DS and it works fine.

Just make sure that you upgrade to version 3.0.2 (download from the owncloud site, and overwrite the installation on /volume1/web/owncloud) to solve some vulnerability issues, and the set it up via the url: http://nas_ip/owncloud/index.php

After that I was able to setup Calendar sharing and Contact sharing on Thunderbird using these urls:

For Caldav:

Create a Calendar named Default (The calendar named Default Calendar won't work with Thunderbird.
Install the Lightning plugin, and the URL to use is:
https://nas_ip/owncloud/apps/calendar/caldav.php/calendars/admin/default

Presto, calendar syncing!

For Cardav:

Just install the latest SOgO connector from http://inverse.ca/downloads/extensions/, in my case the http://inverse.ca/downloads/extensions/sogo-connector-10.0.1.xpi, and on the address book just add:

https://nas_ip/owncloud/apps/contacts/carddav.php/addressbooks/admin/default/

Just make sure that you replace admin with your owncloud user.

On KDE, for KMail2, just fire up the Akonadi console and add the DAV provider, choosing ownCloud as the DAV provider. With this provider, everything works out of the box.

I get an empty page there. Is there any package with the latest 4.* owncloud?

That's the update URL.

The package URL for OC 4.0.3 is http://package.10trum.de/index.php?id=40&pid=42

So far I'm using 3.0.3, and I'm waiting that all pending issues with the 4.0 release are solved.

Anyway, great software.
