ownCloud – Install on CentOS 7 Minimal

Hi Everyone,

This video demonstrates setting up your own cloud storage called ownCloud (owncloud.org) similar to commercial applications without the storage limitations and privacy concerns.

There are desktop (Windows, Linux, and Mac) clients as well as Android and Apple apps available for it, there are also cool addons that you can install for audio streaming, document collaboration and more.

_____________________________

Installation:

cat /etc/*-release

rpm –import https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/CentOS_7/repodata/repomd.xml.key

yum install -y wget

wget http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/CentOS_7/ce:stable.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ce:stable.repo
yum clean expire-cache
yum install -y owncloud mariadb mariadb-server

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/owncloud/

getenforce
setsebool -P httpd_unified 1

yum install -y firewalld #required if not already installed
systemctl start firewalld
systemctl enable firewalld

firewall-cmd –add-service=http –permanent
firewall-cmd –add-service=https –permanent
firewall-cmd –reload

systemctl start httpd
systemctl start mariadb.service

systemctl enable httpd
systemctl enable mariadb.service

mysqladmin -u root password P@ssw0rd #Simple password for demo only

_______________________________________________________________________
SSL:

yum install -y mod_ssl

mkdir /etc/httpd/ssl

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/httpd/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/httpd/ssl/apache.crt

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

Find the section that begins with VirtualHost _default_:443

uncomment the DocumentRoot line and edit the address in quotes to the location of your site’s document root. By default, this will be in /var/www/html, and you don’t need to change this line if you have not changed the document root for your site

uncomment the ServerName line and replace www.example.com with your domain name or server IP address

Find the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile lines and change them to the directory we made at /etc/httpd/ssl:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/apache.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/apache.key

apachectl restart

Test… 🙂
