CentOS 7
LAMP stack.

• PHP 7.4+
• 512MB RAM

Prerequisites

~$ sudo yum install -y epel-release yum-utils
~$ sudo yum install -y httpd mariadb-server
~$ sudo systemctl enable httpd

Setup Repo

~$ sudo rpm --import https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/CentOS_7/repodata/repomd.xml.key
~$ sudo curl -L https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/CentOS_7/ce:stable.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/ownCloud.repo
~$ sudo yum clean expire-cache

Install OwnCloud

~$ sudo yum install -y owncloud
~$ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/owncloud/apps /var/www/html/owncloud/apps-external/ /var/www/html/owncloud/config/ /var/www/html/owncloud/data
~$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/owncloud/data
~$ sudo chown apache:apache /opt/owncloud/data

Set Firewall rules

~$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
~$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
~$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Setup MariaDB

~$ systemctl start mariadb.service
~$ mysql_secure_installation
~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
mariadb> CREATE DATABASE owncloud;
mariadb> GRANT ALL ON owncloud.* to 'owncloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'set_database_password';
mariadb> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mariadb> exit

Setup PHP

~$ sudo yum install -y http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
~$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php73
~$ sudo yum install -y php php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-process php-xml php-pdo php-pecl-zip php-mysql php-ldap php-soap php-imagick

Setup NFS

OPTIONAL: You can use the local disk if you prefer.

~$ sudo mount -t nfs ncwv-freenas01.r00tedvw.local:/mnt/pool_02/OwnCloud /opt/owncloud/data
~$ sudo chown -R apache:apache /opt/ownlcloud/
~$ echo "ncwv-freenas01.r00tedvw.local:/mnt/pool_02/OwnCloud /opt/owncloud/data nfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Configure OwnCloud using the GUI

~$ sudo systemctl start httpd

https://fqdn/owncloud

define the following:

• root user/pass
• data directory (I used /opt/owncloud/data)
• database user/pass/dbname/dbhost:port

Troubleshooting

If you have to reset the admin password like I did, there is a built in util for that.

~$ sudo -u apache /var/www/html/owncloud/occ user:resetpassword r00t
