ownCloud packaging notes ======================== Start ------ After installation you should be able to access the login/configuration page at the following URL: http://localhost/owncloud/ or http://localhost/ If not, make sure your webserver is running properly. Webserver --------- Currently ownCloud in Fedora supports httpd (Apache) and nginx. You must install at least one webserver subpackage (owncloud-). These packages include additional configuration files for the webservers. Remote access is disabled by default. To enable access from any host for Apache **AFTER** you complete the initial setup process, do this: ln -s /etc/httpd/conf.d/owncloud-access.conf.avail /etc/httpd/conf.d/z-owncloud-access.conf If you wish to adjust any of the settings it is recommended that you create a new configuration file that will override owncloud.conf, rather than editing it, so future changes to the packaged file will be respected on your server. If you do not do this, please be careful to check for changes in the packaged configuration file (especially on major ownCloud upgrades) and merge into your modified configuration as appropriate. Database -------- You can choose between three databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. For each of them there is an ownCloud subpackage (owncloud-). You are required to install at least one of them. The packages only ensure the necessary requirements to communicate with a database server of that type are installed, they do not require the database server package itself, as you may wish to use a remote database server. If you wish to use a local one, you must ensure it is installed and configured. For larger installs you should use MySQL or PostgreSQL. If you choose MySQL or PostgreSQL, keep in mind that you must create a database and user for ownCloud manually, before you can finish the setup process. The README.postgresql and README.mysql files provide more details and help with this. Configuration ------------- You can find the main configuration file at '/etc/owncloud/config.php'. Until you first access the server it will be just a small stub containing settings that differ in this package from the upstream defaults. After you first access ownCloud, the initial setup process will populate it with some more settings. Other settings that can be provided in this file are documented at: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/8.0/admin_manual/configuration/config_sample_php_parameters.html User Data --------- The default data directory is '/var/lib/owncloud/data'. Every file that is uploaded by your users to ownCloud gets saved into this folder. Consider doing a backup of this directory, together with the database and the main configuration. Note that if you change this location, you must set appropriate ownership and SELinux context attributes. Logging ------- As specified by the configuration file, ownCloud sends messages to the system logger, which means in a standard Fedora configuration it will log to the systemd journal: try "journalctl -b | grep ownCloud". You can also change the loglevel or switch to the built-in log mechanism of ownCloud. App Store --------- If you install additional third party apps using the built-in app store, you can find them in the directory '/var/lib/owncloud/apps'. This functionality is enabled by default.
