How to Install ownCloud on EndeavourOS Latest

ownCloud is an open-source file syncing and sharing platform that allows you to store, share, and access your files from anywhere. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install ownCloud on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

To install ownCloud on EndeavourOS Latest, you will need:

• EndeavourOS Latest (with sudo access)
• LAMP Stack (Apache, MySQL, and PHP)

Step 1: Update Your System

Before installing ownCloud, it is always best practice to update the system to its latest version. To do this, run the following commands:

sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -Syyu

Step 2: Install the LAMP Stack

ownCloud requires a LAMP stack to work correctly. To install the LAMP stack, run the following command:

sudo pacman -Sy apache mariadb php php-apache php-gd php-ldap php-intl php-mysqli php-pdo php-xml

After installing the LAMP stack, start and enable the Apache and MariaDB service by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 3: Create a MySQL Database for ownCloud

Now it's time to create a MySQL database for ownCloud. To create a MySQL database, run the following commands:

sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter the root password that you set during the installation of the MariaDB server. Then create a new database, user, and password for ownCloud:

CREATE DATABASE owncloud_db;
CREATE USER 'owncloud_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud_db.* TO 'owncloud_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Replace owncloud_db, owncloud_user, and password with your preferred database name, username, and password.

Step 4: Download ownCloud

Now, we will download the latest version of ownCloud from its official website.

cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-latest.tar.bz2

Extract the downloaded file to /var/www/html/:

sudo tar -xvf owncloud-latest.tar.bz2
sudo chown -R http:http owncloud

Step 5: Configure ownCloud

Now, we need to configure ownCloud to access the database that we created in Step 3.

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

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>

Save and close the file.

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Now, open your favorite browser and access the ownCloud web interface at http://localhost/owncloud/.

The ownCloud setup wizard will appear on the screen, follow the instructions, and provide the following information:

• Database user (e.g., owncloud_user)
• Database password (e.g., password)
• Database name (e.g., owncloud_db)
• MySQL/MariaDB database host (e.g., localhost)

After completing the setup wizard, ownCloud will be ready to use.
