OwnCloud server installation on Debian 9

Because I get fail on first installation (I’m using Debian 9), I read this and finally I get conclusion to install Owncloud in the right way :v

Connect to server

Setup IP address for your server

# vi /etc/network/interfaces

there is example config

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.128
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1
        dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Tell your system to applied new config

# /etc/init.d/networking restart

And access the server with remote using openssh

# apt install openssh-server
# /etc/init.d/ssh start
# ssh root@ip_server

Installing Web server

Such as apache2, php7.2 and additonal extensions, mariadb-server, redis-server

# apt install apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates
# wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
# sh -c 'echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list'
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -y apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php7.2 \
    openssl php-imagick php7.2-common php7.2-curl php7.2-gd \
    php7.2-imap php7.2-intl php7.2-json php7.2-ldap php7.2-mbstring \
    php7.2-mysql php7.2-pgsql php-smbclient php-ssh2 \
    php7.2-sqlite3 php7.2-xml php7.2-zip

Aditional extensions

# apt install -y php-apcu php-redis redis-server php7.2-ldap

on Debian 9 php7.0 is default. We’re choose version 7.2

# ad2dismod php7.0
# ad2enmod php7.2

Start apache2 service

# systemctl start apache2
# systemctl enable apache2 #run every server boot

Start mariadb service

# systemctl start MariaDB
# systemctl enable mariadb

Install OwnCloud server

# -qO- https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/Debian_9.0/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
# echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ stretch main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list
# apt install apt-transport-https
# apt update
# apt install owncloud-files

Create database admin

# mysql --user=root mysql
MariaDB [mysql]> CREATE USER 'dbadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '123';
MariaDB [mysql]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'dbadmin'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
MariaDB [mysql]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [mysql]> exit

Configure web server

# vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf

Add to this script to config file

Alias /owncloud "/var/www/owncloud/"

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

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

SetEnv HOME /var/www/owncloud
SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/owncloud

</Directory>

Then create a links to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled:

# ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf

We need enable requiered module to runnig server

# a2enmod headers
# a2enmod env
# a2enmod dir
# a2enmod mime
# a2enmod unique_id

And please restart Apache one more

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

After that, change owned group from /var/www/owncloud/ to www-data

# chown -R www-data: /var/www/owncloud/

Finally, we can access OwnCloud server on http://your_ip_server/owncloud and signup for OwnCloud. On database config we’re choose mariadb. Then enter database administrator name “dbadmin” and password “123” into your OwnCloud Database.
