Setting up Raspberry Pi for Owncloud 10 Server

1. Turn on the Raspberry Pi. From the terminal or SSH enter the following command:
Solved: You need permission to
perform this action – Windows
sudo raspi-config  7

The following changes needs to be made in the Raspberry Pi configuration Next »

a. Expand the root filesystem to have enough space for the cloud
Select “Advanced Options” –> “Expand Filesystem” (if available)

b. Change user password

“For Security when accessing form the WAN”

c. Change locale to en_US.UTF8

Select “Localisation Options” –> “Change Locale”

d. Memory split, allocate 16M to video graphics

Select “Advanced Options” –> “Memory Split”

e. Overclock to Modest or Medium

Select “Overclock” (if available)

Then Finish, and auto reboot. Upon re-boot you would need to update the RPI and its
packages.

Update the Raspberry Pi and its packages

sudo su 

apt update && apt upgrade 

Now we need to install and configure LAMP Server.

Install LAMP Server

Open Terminal or simply ssh to the Raspberry pi.

Install Apache web server

apt install apache2 -y 

Start and enable Apache on boot

systemctl start apache2 

systemctl enable apache2

Install the required packages:

We need to install additional packages required by Owncloud Server

apt install -y apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php7.0 \ 

php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl \
php7.0-intl php7.0-mcrypt php-imagick \
php7.0-zip php7.0-xml php7.0-mbstring

Install Owncloud:
Download Owncloud 10 package:

cd /tmp 

wget https://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-10.0.3.tar.bz2

Extract Owncloud and change the permission

tar -xvf owncloud-10.0.3.tar.bz2 

 chown -R www-data:www-data owncloud

It will produce a new directory called owncloud. We need to move this directory to
/var/www/html/ directory

mv owncloud /var/www/html/ 

Configure Apache Web Server

Create a new configuration file under /etc/apache2/sites-available

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf 

And then paste these lines

Alias /owncloud "/var/www/html/owncloud/" 

<Directory /var/www/html/owncloud/>
Options +FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All

<IfModule mod_dav.c>
Dav off
</IfModule>

SetEnv HOME /var/www/html/owncloud

SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/html/owncloud

</Directory>

Create Symbolic link


ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf /etc/apache2/sites-
Additional apache configuration
Execute these commands to enable some modules

a2enmod headers 
systemctl restart apache2
a2enmod env
a2enmod dir
a2enmod mime

Create a MySQL database and user:

mysql -u root -p 

You’ll be prompted to enter the Pi User password. Then execute the underneath
commands in blue:

MariaDB [(none)]> create database owncloud; 

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> create user owncloud@localhost identified by '1234

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on owncloud.* to owncloud@loc

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> exit;

Bye

Configure Owncloud via web browser

If you’re mounting and external hard drive for additional storage capacity skip this step
and continue to Mounting and Setting up an external hard drive underneath.

If you are NOT mounting and external hard drive proceed to open the web browser
and type the following address:

http://192.168.1.140/owncloud

Change the IP address in blue to your Raspberry pi IP address. You will see the
following Owncloud configuration window:

Here enter a username and password to create an admin account then immediately
underneath enter your MySQL details as follow:

Username: owncloud
Password: 12345
Database: owncloud
Server: localhost

Click on ‘Finish Setup’ button. That’s it. We’re good to go. Owncloud 10 installed on
Raspbian Stretch is now ready for use.

Mounting and Setting up an external hard drive

These instructions are for mounting an NTFS formatted hard drive and allowing
ownCloud to store files onto it. Now would be a good time to plug in the external Hard
Drive to the RPI.

1. Having an NTFS drive we will need to install a NFTS package by entering the
following:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g -y 

2. Make a directory we can mount to:

sudo mkdir /media/ownclouddrive 

3. Create and add the www-data user to the www-data group:

sudo groupadd www-data 

sudo usermod -a -G www-data www-data

4. Make the user www-data owner of the mounted drive and make its permissions
read, write and execute:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /media/ownclouddrive 

sudo chmod -R 775 /media/ownclouddrive
5. Now we need to get the gid, uid and the uuid as we will need to use them so the pi
will remember it even if we plug it into a different USB port. Enter the following
command for the gid:

id -g www-data 

6. Now to get the uid enter the following command:

id -u www-data 

7. Also we meed to get the UUID of the attached external hard drive so the Pi can
remember this drive even if you plug it into a different USB port.

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid 

8. Then copy the light blue letters and numbers of the sda1 entry usually located on
the bottom. Should look something like (numbers&letters -> ../../sda1). See picture
below:
9. Now add your drive into the fstab file so it’ll boot with the proper permissions.

sudo nano /etc/fstab 

10. Add the following line to the bottom of the file, updating uid, guid and the UUID
with the values we got above. (It should all be a single line). Dont forget to replace the
UUID number to yours in stead of the one you copied from here.


UUID=F6941E59941E1D25 /media/ownclouddrive auto nofail,uid=33,gid=33
11. Reboot the Raspberry Pi:

sudo reboot 

12. Now the drives should automatically be mounted. If mounted we’re all good to go.
To check it enter:

sudo ls /media/ownclouddrive 

If there are files inside the drive you should be able to see them here. If it’s an empty
drive you might not see anything so don’t be surprise if nothing shows up.

If you want to be absolutely positive that the drive is properly mounted, unplug the
drive from the RPI plug it onto a PC since the drive is formatted “NTFS” it should be
easily detected by the PC, open it, create an txt file name it test, then eject it and plug
it back to the RPI and run the following command:

sudo ls /media/ownclouddrive 

The txt file you created should be there.

The end result should look like the image underneath, then save.

Basic First Access Setup

1. Open your browser and enter the IP address provided, in my case is
192.168.1.140/0wncloud you’ll be directed to your ownCloud storage server.

2. You should be presented with a simple setup screen, Here enter a username and
password to create an admin account.

3. Click on Storage & database dropdown and enter your external hard drive
directory: /media/ownclouddrive (Skip this if you didn’t setup an external drive).

4. Immediately underneath enter your MySQL details as follow:

Username: owncloud
Password: 12345
Database: owncloud
Server: localhost

5. Click on ‘Finish Setup’ button. That’s it. We’re good to go. Owncloud 10 installed
on Raspbian Stretch is now ready for use.
Done! !! all is left is to configure your devices to access your ownCloud storage.

External Access
To allow ouw devices like your phone or tablet to access your cloud from anywhere in
the world with internet access you must enable SSL then enable port forward:

Port Forward
Log into your router and get the WAN IP address:
Or Google what is my IP address?

Now we need to add the WAN IP to your trusted IP list and not to be overwritten by
ownCloud. To do this open the Owncloud config file, enter:

sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php 

Here add the WAN IP (External IP address) you just got from the router or Google to
the trusted domains array. Your new entry should look something like this:

1 => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', 

X are just placeholders. Replace the X’s with the WAN IP Address.

Now update the URL of the overwrite.cli.url line with your WAN IP Address. It should
look something like this:

'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/owncloud', 

Here is an example of the completed config.txt file.

Once done save and exit the the config.php.

Now log into your router and navigate to the port forward section.

Port forward SSL port 443 to the Raspberry pi internal IP (LAN IP) address and save
settings.
Now your RPI ownCloud is ready to be accessed externally (WAN) and from your
devices just download the ownCloud App and enter: “https:// WAN IP Address” on the
address bar or devices. below is an example:

Hello Miguel,
Thnaks you for the very easy setup video. I do have one question. Can
you configure /add an external drive if you have setup to use internal
storage?
Thanks!

Miguel

yes. when you decide to use an external Drive, you would need
to go through the mounting a directory process and change the
path. run this command in the terminal:
sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php
or
sudo nano /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php
and change the datadirectory to /media/owncloud
then move your owncloud data:
sudo mv /var/www/html/owncloud/data /media/owncloud
or
sudo mv /var/www/owncloud/data /media/owncloud
then restart
sudo service apache2 restart
 or
sudo apache2 restart

Hello Miguel,
Thank you very much for a wonderful tutorial, and accompanying video
(with a very calm and level delivery!)
I am totally indebted to you for the fact that, with your help, I have
owncloud running beautifully on my Raspberry Pi 3, but I have one last
question.
I set everything up with a small USB stick, that I had laying around, and
all is good, I want to purchase a powered external hard-drive but
wanted to know if is possible to keep the USB stick and add the (yet to
be bought) HDD as well?
would I need to run the whole mounting a directory process then add
the UUID number to fstab? or will this be problematic… and would it be
best to simply remove the USB stick and start again with the (new)
HHD?
Many thanks mate, you’re the best.

Hi Kieran, yes, is possible to keep the USB stick and add the
(yet to be bought) HDD as well.
yes, you would need to run the whole mounting a directory
process then add the NEW UUID number to fstab. just add the
same line immediately underneath with the new one.
if you are planning on using the new HDD for owncloud data
then you would need to move the owncloud files to the new
directory once mounted.
sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php
or
sudo nano /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php
and change the datadirectory to /new/directory
then move your owncloud data:
sudo mv /var/www/html/owncloud/data /new/directory
or
sudo mv /var/www/owncloud/data /new/directory
/new/directory being the HDD directory you mounted
then restart
sudo service apache2 restart
or
sudo apache2 restart

I followed all the steps, put an pendrive for more storage and I recive
this when i try to create de admin acount
Error while trying to create admin user:

did you set up the password to be yes or 12345 as specified in

the video?
Reply

David

I changed the pass in the two code lines.

How can i view the database created?
 Reply

David

I removed the database and create a new one.

Creating the new database without any problem,
but when i went to create the user with the
following command “”create user
owncloud@localhost identified by ‘12345’;””, the
program returned an error.
I think that i will do all the steps again using an
external HHD.
I wil post if a do it properly.

I did it again, and it works.

Hi, need some help here,

I understand that I must allow my WAN IP address to access owncloud
from anywhere in the world, however from time to time when I reboot
my modem and router I get a different IP Address. Is there any other
way to access it, or should I change configuration everytime this
happens?
Reply
 Miguel

You would need to tell the router to reserve an IP for the RPI.
“DHCP reservation”
example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pS0Pz0EcLA

Luiz Gustavo Gregorio

Hi Miguel, sorry but I think I was not clear enough, I am

talking about the IP provided by my ISP, if there is a
modem reboot my ISP sometimes provide a different
value for IP.
Is there any easy way to work on that not having to
change it on owncloud configuration everytime?
