h1. Owncloud
Owncloud has issues with .DS_Store files. At first I thought it was a Dropbox <-> Owncloud error, but then I turned off my Dropbox and was still getting the error. We need to figure out a way to have Owncloud exclude syncing .DS_Store files, or else it will generate a bunch of them. I don't know why it is doing so, but I have figured out how to delete them all:
Run this in the top of the Owncloud directory.
<pre>
find ./ -type f -name ".DS_Stor*" -exec rm {} \;
</pre>
h1. Owncloud Installation
h2. Owncloud 8.1 on Debian 7 with Apache
* Wheezy does not have Owncloud 7 or 8 in repository (Jessie has 7.0 but I highly recommend using 8 for webUI improvements and speed)
* Add the "OpenSuse owncloud repository":https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud (this is maintained by owncloud devs)
* After adding @sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install owncloud@
* This should install owncloud to /var/www/owncloud, php, and mySQL
* This will also create a conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/owncloud.conf which adds configuration redirects domain.com/owncloud to the owncloud directory.
* contents of the conf file. <pre>Alias /owncloud "/var/www/owncloud/"
<Directory "/var/www/owncloud">
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Satisfy Any
<IfModule mod_dav.c>
Dav off
</IfModule>
SetEnv HOME /var/www/owncloud
SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/owncloud
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/owncloud/data/">
# just in case if .htaccess gets disabled
Require all denied
</Directory>
</pre>
* Set up Apache for owncloud access: For simple setups, edit the default-ssl config to point to ssl certs and enable with a2enmod default-ssl.
* restart apache
* go to https://domain.com/owncloud to start owncloud setup wizard.
* If changes need to be made after first time setup either run again from Apps or edit /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php by hand
h2. Database setup (mySQL)
* make sure package php5-mysql is installed on system
* start mysql command line mode @mysql -uroot -p@
* <pre>CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS owncloud;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';</pre>
* keep track of username and password as the owncloud setup wizard will need that.
h2. Enabling Samba external users
* Enable external_user and external_storage apps (lefthand tab menu--->apps---->not enabled. enable them)
* for a local samba installation add the following to config.php <pre>
"user_backends" => array (
0 => array (
"class" => "OC_User_SMB",
"arguments" => array (
0 => 'localhost'
),
),
),</pre>
* users logging in with samba user and password should autocreate a user in owncloud. Permissions are not carried over!
h2. Samba External Storage
* go to owncloud admin panel after enabling external_storage
* add share via interface.
h2. owncloud + nginx
* Install php5-fpm and nginx with @apt-get install php5-fpm nginx@
* Uncomment "env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" in the file "/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf"
* owncloud "provides":https://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/admin_manual/installation/nginx_configuration.html a fairly good base nginx site file to use for simple setups. copied below.

* In the main server block add @add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains";@ to enable strict transport security
h2. Performance tweaks
* enable system cron: by default owncloud runs scheduled jobs via ajax every page load which isn't great for actually getting things done at regular intervals. add: <pre># crontab -u www-data -e
*/15 * * * * php -f /var/www/owncloud/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1</pre>
* enable *coming soon: enabling apc (or apcu for php 5.5 and above) for wheezy @apt-get install php-apc@ and add @'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APC',@ to config.php
* for php 5.5 and above @apt- get install php-apcu@ and add @'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu',@
* you may have to add apc.enable_cli=1 to /etc/php5/cli/php.ini in php5.5 or later), php.ini edits, server edits.
h2. Security and Hardening
* enable mod_headers (a2enmod headers) and add @Header always add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000"@ to virtual host file.
* move data directory outside /var/www/owncloud folder
* turn on server side encryption of data. (Admin settings --> turn on)
* redirect all traffic to ssl: <pre><VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName cloud.owncloud.com
Redirect permanent / https://cloud.owncloud.com/
</VirtualHost></pre>
* verify that strict transport security and other headers are being sent by the server using curl. @curl -I https://owncloud.site/owncloud/COPYING-AGPL@ or calling another static resource.
** headers should include @X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Robots-Tag: none X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN@
