In today’s tutorial, we will explain how to install ownCloud 9.0 on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation. ownCloud is a self-hosted, open source, file sync and share app platform written in PHP. With ownCloud you can sync and access your files through a web interface, create contacts, calendars and bookmarks, easily share your data across devices, preview and edit your text files, documents and images and much more. It’s a great alternative to Dropbox, Google Drive and similar file-sharing services.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Log in to your server as root<\/p>\n

ssh user@vps_IP<\/pre>\n
and make sure that all packages are up to date:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade<\/pre>\n
Add ownCloud Repository<\/h2>\n
We will install the owncloud<\/code> package from the official ownCloud repository. owncloud<\/code> is a meta package which will install multiple packages including apache2, PHP 7.0 and all necessary PHP modules, basically you will get a complete installation with all dependencies.<\/p>\n
Run the following commands to add the ownCloud repository PGP key to your system:<\/p>\n
sudo wget -nv https:\/\/download.owncloud.org\/download\/repositories\/9.1\/Ubuntu_16.04\/Release.key -O Release.key\r\nsudo apt-key add - < Release.key\r\nsudo rm -f Release.key<\/pre>\n
Add the ownCloud repository to your system using the following command:<\/p>\n
echo 'deb http:\/\/download.owncloud.org\/download\/repositories\/9.1\/Ubuntu_16.04\/ \/' | sudo tee --append \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/owncloud.list > \/dev\/null<\/pre>\n
Install ownCloud<\/h2>\n
The ownCloud installation is pretty straightforward, once the repository is added update the apt package index, install the owncloud<\/code> package:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update\r\nsudo apt install owncloud<\/pre>\n
You can choose between SQLite, MYSQL\/MariaDB and PostgreSQL. SQLite is the default database but it is not recommended for production, MariaDB which we will be using in this tutorial is the ownCloud recommended database.<\/p>\n
Install the MariaDB package using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server<\/pre>\n
When the installation is complete, run the following command to secure your installation:<\/p>\n
mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n
Next, we need to create a database for our ownCloud installation.<\/p>\n
mysql -uroot -p<\/pre>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE owncloud;\r\nMariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO 'owncloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_strong_password';\r\nMariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nMariaDB [(none)]> \\q<\/pre>\n
To access the graphical ownCloud 9 installation wizard open the following URL in your browser http:\/\/your_ip_address\/owncloud<\/code>, enter the admin account username and password, select ‘MySQL\/MariaDB’ and enter the database name, database user and password. Finally, click on the “Finish setup” button located on the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it. You have successfully installed ownCloud version 9 on your Ubuntu VPS.
\nFor more information about how to manage your ownCloud installation, please refer to the ownCloud documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n
Of course, you don\u2019t have to do any of this if you use one of our\u00a0Software Installation Services<\/a>, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to setup this for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately.<\/p>\n
