h1. Owncloud
6
7
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:
8
9
Run this in the top of the Owncloud directory.
10
<pre>
11
find ./ -type f -name ".DS_Stor*" -exec rm {} \;
12
</pre>

h1. Owncloud Installation
15
16
h2. Owncloud 8.1 on Debian 7 with Apache
17
18
* 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)
19
* Add the "OpenSuse owncloud repository":https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud (this is maintained by owncloud devs) 
20
* After adding @sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install owncloud@
21
* This should install owncloud to /var/www/owncloud, php, and mySQL
22
* 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. 
23
* contents of the conf file. <pre>Alias /owncloud "/var/www/owncloud/"
24
<Directory "/var/www/owncloud">

    AllowOverride All

<Directory "/var/www/owncloud/data/">
37
  # just in case if .htaccess gets disabled
38
  Require all denied
39
</Directory>
40
</pre>
41
* 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.
42
* restart apache 
43
* go to https://domain.com/owncloud to start owncloud setup wizard. 
44
* 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 
45
46
h2. Database setup (mySQL)
47
48
* make sure package php5-mysql is installed on system
49
* start mysql command line mode @mysql -uroot -p@
50
* <pre>CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
51
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS owncloud;
52
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';</pre>
53
* keep track of username and password as the owncloud setup wizard will need that. 
54
55
h2. Enabling Samba external users
56
57
* Enable external_user and external_storage apps (lefthand tab menu--->apps---->not enabled. enable them)
58
* for a local samba installation add the following to config.php <pre>
59
"user_backends" => array (
60
    0 => array (
61
            "class"     => "OC_User_SMB",
62
            "arguments" => array (
63
                              0 => 'localhost'
64
                              ),
65
    ),
66
),</pre>
67
* users logging in with samba user and password should autocreate a user in owncloud. Permissions are not carried over!
68
69
h2.  Samba External Storage
70
71
* go to owncloud admin panel after enabling external_storage
72
* add share via interface. 
73
74
h2. owncloud + nginx
75
76
* Install php5-fpm and nginx with @apt-get install php5-fpm nginx@
77
* Uncomment "env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" in the file "/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf"
78
* 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.

h2. Performance tweaks
163
164 4 Jessie Lee
* 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
165
*/15  *  *  *  * php -f /var/www/owncloud/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1</pre> 
166
* enable 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
167
* for php 5.5 and above @apt- get install php-apcu@ and add @'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu',@
168
* you may have to add apc.enable_cli=1 to /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

h2. Security and Hardening
171
172
* enable mod_headers (a2enmod headers) and add @Header always add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000"@ to virtual host file.
173
* move data directory outside /var/www/owncloud folder
174
* turn on server side encryption of data. (Admin settings --> turn on) 
175
* redirect all traffic to ssl: <pre><VirtualHost *:80>
176
   ServerName cloud.owncloud.com
177
   Redirect permanent / https://cloud.owncloud.com/
178
</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. 
180
** headers should include @X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Robots-Tag: none X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN@

h2. For Office File servers
183
184
Owncloud does not autoscan files that are not controlled by owncloud regularly. For office file servers this could mean files added via different methods may not show up in owncloud. 
185
* add the following cronjob to crontab -u www-data <pre>30      6,15     *       *       *  php /var/www/owncloud/occ file:scan --all >/dev/null 2>&1
186
