24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

Configure Owncloud via web browser

If you’re mounting and external hard drive for additional storage capacity skip
this step and continue to Mounting and Setting up an external hard drive
underneath.

If you are NOT mounting and external hard drive proceed to open the web
browser and type the following address:

http://192.168.1.140/owncloud

Change the IP address in blue to your Raspberry pi IP address. You will see the
following Owncloud configuration window:

24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

Here enter a username and password to create an admin account then

immediately underneath enter your MySQL details as follow:

Username: owncloud
Password: 12345
Database: owncloud
Server: localhost

Click on ‘Finish Setup’ button. That’s it. We’re good to go. Owncloud 10
installed on Raspbian Stretch is now ready for use.

Mounting and Setting up an external hard drive

These instructions are for mounting an NTFS formatted hard drive and allowing
ownCloud to store files onto it. Now would be a good time to plug in the external
Hard Drive to the RPI.

1. Having an NTFS drive we will need to install a NFTS package by entering the
following:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g -y 

2. Make a directory we can mount to:

sudo mkdir /media/ownclouddrive 

3. Create and add the www-data user to the www-data group:

sudo groupadd www-data 

sudo usermod -a -G www-data www-data 

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 9/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

4. Make the user www-data owner of the mounted drive and make its
permissions read, write and execute:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /media/ownclouddrive 

sudo chmod -R 775 /media/ownclouddrive

5. Now we need to get the gid, uid and the uuid as we will need to use them so
the pi will remember it even if we plug it into a different USB port. Enter the
following command for the gid:

id -g www-data 

6. Now to get the uid enter the following command:

id -u www-data 

7. Also we meed to get the UUID of the attached external hard drive so the Pi
can remember this drive even if you plug it into a different USB port.

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid 

8. Then copy the light blue letters and numbers of the sda1 entry usually
located on the bottom. Should look something like (numbers&letters ->
../../sda1). See picture below:

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 10/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

9. Now add your drive into the fstab file so it’ll boot with the proper permissions.

sudo nano /etc/fstab 

10. Add the following line to the bottom of the file, updating uid, guid and the
UUID with the values we got above. (It should all be a single line). Dont forget to
replace the UUID number to yours in stead of the one you copied from here.


UUID=F6941E59941E1D25 /media/ownclouddrive auto nofail,uid=33,g 

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 11/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

11. Reboot the Raspberry Pi:

sudo reboot 

12. Now the drives should automatically be mounted. If mounted we’re all good
to go. To check it enter:

sudo ls /media/ownclouddrive 

If there are files inside the drive you should be able to see them here. If it’s an
empty drive you might not see anything so don’t be surprise if nothing shows up.

If you want to be absolutely positive that the drive is properly mounted, unplug
the drive from the RPI plug it onto a PC since the drive is formatted “NTFS” it
should be easily detected by the PC, open it, create an txt file name it test, then
eject it and plug it back to the RPI and run the following command:

sudo ls /media/ownclouddrive 

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 12/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

The txt file you created should be there.

Basic First Access Setup

1. Open your browser and enter the IP address provided, in my case is

192.168.1.140/owncloud you’ll be directed to your ownCloud storage server.

2. You should be presented with a simple setup screen, Here enter a username
and password to create an admin account.

3. Click on Storage & database dropdown and enter your external hard drive
directory: /media/ownclouddrive (Skip this if you didn’t setup an external
drive).

4. Immediately underneath enter your MySQL details as follow:

Username: owncloud
Password: 12345
Database: owncloud
Server: localhost

5. Click on ‘Finish Setup’ button. That’s it. We’re good to go. Owncloud 10
installed on Raspbian Stretch is now ready for use.

24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

Done! !! all is left is to configure your devices to access your ownCloud storage.

External Access
To allow devices like your phone or tablet to access your cloud from anywhere
in the world with internet access you must enable SSL then enable port
forward:

Port Forward
Log into your router and get the WAN IP address:

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 14/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

Or Google what is my IP address?

Now we need to add the WAN IP to your trusted IP list and not to be overwritten
by ownCloud. To do this open the Owncloud config file, enter:


sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php 

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 15/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed
sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php

Here add the WAN IP (External IP address) you just got from the router or
Google to the trusted domains array. Your new entry should look something like
this:

1 => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', 

X are just placeholders. Replace the X’s with the WAN IP Address.

Now update the URL of the overwrite.cli.url line with your WAN IP Address. It
should look something like this:

'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/owncloud', 

Here is an example of the completed config.txt file.

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 16/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

Once done save and exit the the config.php.

Now log into your router and navigate to the port forward section.

Port forward SSL port 443 to the Raspberry pi internal IP (LAN IP) address and
save settings.

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 17/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

Now your RPI ownCloud is ready to be accessed externally (WAN) and from
your devices just download the ownCloud App and enter: “https:// WAN IP
Address” on the address bar or devices. below is an example:

yes. when you decide to use an external Drive, you would

need to go through the mounting a directory process and
change the path. run this command in the terminal:
sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php
or
sudo nano /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php
and change the datadirectory to /media/owncloud
then move your owncloud data:
sudo mv /var/www/html/owncloud/data /media/owncloud
or
sudo mv /var/www/owncloud/data /media/owncloud
then restart
sudo service apache2 restart
or

Hello Miguel,
Thank you very much for a wonderful tutorial, and accompanying
video (with a very calm and level delivery!)
I am totally indebted to you for the fact that, with your help, I have
owncloud running beautifully on my Raspberry Pi 3, but I have
one last question.
I set everything up with a small USB stick, that I had laying
around, and all is good, I want to purchase a powered external
hard-drive but wanted to know if is possible to keep the USB stick
and add the (yet to be bought) HDD as well?
would I need to run the whole mounting a directory process then
add the UUID number to fstab? or will this be problematic… and
would it be best to simply remove the USB stick and start again
with the (new) HHD?
Many thanks mate, you’re the best.

Hi Kieran, yes, is possible to keep the USB stick and add

the (yet to be bought) HDD as well.
yes, you would need to run the whole mounting a directory
process then add the NEW UUID number to fstab. just
add the same line immediately underneath with the new
one.
if you are planning on using the new HDD for owncloud
data then you would need to move the owncloud files to
the new directory once mounted.
sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php
or
sudo nano /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php
and change the datadirectory to /new/directory
then move your owncloud data:
sudo mv /var/www/html/owncloud/data /new/directory
or
sudo mv /var/www/owncloud/data /new/directory
/new/directory being the HDD directory you mounted
then restart
sudo service apache2 restart
or
sudo apache2 restart

Hi, need some help here,

I understand that I must allow my WAN IP address to access
owncloud from anywhere in the world, however from time to time
when I reboot my modem and router I get a different IP Address.
Is there any other way to access it, or should I change
configuration everytime this happens?

You would need to tell the router to reserve an IP for the

RPI. “DHCP reservation”

Kind regards

1. under install owncloud exit the /tmp directory. cd

command
2. before you configure apache web server enter sudo su
and continue on.

Hey Miguel,
Great guide!!
Everything went well except im trying to do something a bit
deffernt and need your HELP.
Im running octopi, which is a raspbian based print server for my
3d printer. http://www.octoprint.org

I want to also run ownCloud on this same Pi.
after rebooting the pi i can breifly get to 192.168.1.100/owncloud

https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 30/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

But seconds later that wont load, and 192.168.1.100 takes me to

octopi print server
octopi uses /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
but owncloud is using /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf
Correct?
I dont know how to resolve this conflict. im a linux n00b.
Ive been talking on the octopi forum, but they’re not familiar with
owncloud.

Hope you have time to help
Thanks

if i reboot the pi http://192.168.1.100/owncloud will

load, but after a very short time after startup
http://192.168.1.243/owncloud/ will return not
found. 

24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

Then 192.168.1.100 (no forward slash) will go to

the landing page for octopi, which seems fine for a
while.
But a little while after that the formatting @
192.168.1.100 gets broken
Ideally i would like to have
192.168.1.100/octopi
192.168.1.100 /owncloud

is going to return not foun becaused these

are 2 different IP addresses
“http://192.168.1.100/owncloud will load, but
after a very short time after startup
http://192.168.1.243/owncloud/ will return not

That was just a typo.

I got it working but what i did was
probably unconventional, and still
hoping for a proper solution.
I edited /etc/apache ports.conf to list to 
100 (not 80)
So now if i got to 192.168.1.100 octopi
https://www.avoiderrors.com/owncloud-10-raspberry-pi-3-raspbian-stretch/ 32/38
24/08/2020 Install ownCloud 10 on Raspberry pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch Installed

loads
if i got to 192.168.1.100:100/owncloud
ownCloud loads (by specifying port:100)
While this works fine locally. i imagine it
may be problematic if i want to access
remotely over SSL…?

The OctoPi forum gave me this link which has

haproxy & apache configuration examples, but its
WAYY beyond my understanding. I suspect you will
know what it means

configuration-examples/1107

Not sure if you received my other reply so will type

again.
SHORTLY after rebooting pi
http://192.168.1.100/owncloud loads
But then fails to load
http://192.168.1.100 (no forward slash) will then
load which is octoprint page.
I suspect the haproxy thing is overriding the apache 
thing.

By following this tutorial you are never going

to get owncloud without “/owncloud” even if
you just have owncloud installed on the pi.
a quick easy fix is to install and enable SSl
which uses port 443
https://www.avoiderrors.com/?p=37213 and
access your pi using https:// and not http

Hi Miguel! An many thanks for the instructions. Seems to work

well. However, I got problems when setting up to owncloud admin
account and storage folder. Got an error message “Can’t create or
write into the data directory /media/ownclouddrive”. I’m using
Seagate’s USB storage and was able to see the files there when
typing sudo ls /media/ownclouddrive.
Any ideas what might be the problem?

Hey Miguel, first things first: … basically thanks for my own cloud
«IP-Adress»/0wncloud
didn’t work for me with firefox, probably a typo in your tutorial,
«IP-Adress»/owncloud did the trick

Thanks for my RPi server
