ownCloud in a box
ownCloud in a box packages ownCloud as an appliance, so you can easily run it in a virtual environment, as a live system or install it on a disk.
Run the appliance, go to http://[yourservername]/owncloud and login as admin with the password owncloud42. Change the password in the admin interface and use the URL, which is shown there to access ownCloud via WebDAV.
Also remember to change the root password of the system after the appliance has booted.
One note about the versioning of the appliance: The major version of the appliance follows the major version of ownCloud. The minor versions are not directly related. See the release notes for what exact minor version is included in the appliance.

Good job. I made RIPPY Server
Great work!
Nice OS.
I am making Plum OS X
Whenever I get into the web interface. it asks for a username/password. I’ve used owncloud before and upon first boot you should be prompted to create an admin account. What is the admin account username/password?
and i’ve tried “root/linux”
You find the admin password in the description at the top of this page.
Will this work in Test-Drive
Some of these comments….
Wow, is all I have to say.
Hi, Im new to all ov this but when I load it, it gos to a pronpt black screen an ask for user name an pasword I have done that but where do i go from there is there a commant or somthing i need to do to get to the disktop GUI?
There is no desktop GUI. ownCloud is a server application. Just use your web browser to go to the address of the machine, where you installed it.
Err… Sorry for the rookies’ question but, the install ran fine, but whenopening http://127.0.0.1/owncloud, I get “Create an admin account” and I just can’t create it. Any idea what’s up?
can somebody please post a step by step instruction for configuring SSL?
follow these instructions for configuring SSL. You will either need another openSUSE box with apache on it, or re-install the apache2 RPM to pull in he files from /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2
http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.apache2.html#sec.apache2.ssl
I didn´t get it work:(
Hello how do I sign up

Music Section does not recognize MP3 Data. No Functions on this section :(
“Couldn’t load plug-in qt-pkg”
present in YAST when software management is trying to start up. Yast dies.
:( It looks like suse is never ever is going to be working again. Where is this stability of 9.1 ???
I add here that client is looking for IP:status.php but it is in /owncloud/ folder not root one.
Just for people who runs into this problem too: when you configure your client you need to point it to http://ipaddress/owncloud/ – if you point it just to ip then system will not work because it is looking for files in the root directory of the website. The database and rest of required information is placed in /owncloud/
This would be handy to be changed so there is no need to do manuals for end users and explain to them why they have to do it one way or the other? IP addres or host name would be much more logical choice in this case.
Fixed by manually adding additional yast2 packages, some are missing in the system.
zypper in yast2(name of the package)
thnx

OK, the Appliance works and I even managed to give it a static IP that seems to work. SSL, however, is a different story. I have tried three different guides for enabling SSL and none of them match entirely the setup used in this Suse.
Anyone have a simple step-by-step that matches this appliance? I really want to try the clients and they (and I) want SSL.
Bets,
Per
Same issue here. It appears to use parts of several methods. I’ve tried several different tutorials etc and only ended up making my web interface inaccessible until I removed the changes for SSL. If anyone, including the publisher has any suggestions they would be appreciated.
Downloaded Version 4.5.15, tried to start the VM but it failed 9 of 10 times. The only time it worked, zypper doesnt work because it looks like VM started with IPv6 and Zypper cant handle this … someone else similar problems?
Okay even with IPv6 disabled I’m getting the same Error :/

The repository moved. The correct URL is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/EC2/openSUSE_12.2/ now.
Dunno why, but still cant use curl in any way. curl (7) failed to connect to […] Network is unreachable. In my opinion IPv6 is disables. Ifconfig says:

Hi Guys,
I have download the latest ownCloud_in_a_box.i686-4.5.15.VHD and its fired up. However i dont have DHCP and so no IP address. What im after is the root password and i’ll be set, Ive seen a couple posts of people asking for the same thing – but i dont see answer.
thanks
joe
The root password is listed in the “Accounts” part of the “Technical details” section on this very same page. Have a look a little bit above the comments.
What’s the seceret of its popularity
hmm, on a first glance it works well – thanks a lot for your image !
32bit?! What, no 64 bit? Good day…..Also need an manual that explains this in laymans terms. In other words, what the heck am I doing? How can I maximize the use of this product. You know, some examples….

Is there any way to change the ports? i.e. from 80 to 8080?
You can change the port by adapting the apache configuration accordingly. It should work, but I never tried it.
how would I go about changing the apache configuration? when I type: /etc/apache2/ports.conf it says that no such file or directory.
version 1.0.4 Cud Not Boot
You should try a more recent version.
So i have it up and running, its fantastic but I found out that my ISP is blocking port 80. I have noip set to redirect port 80 to 8080 but it still doesnt work for external access. Do I have to change the ports in owncloud in a box? if yes, how?
Thanks
Great, but very slow boot speed.
hello, i try to upload a 500mb file with the webbrowser interface. the max upload filezise is set to 512mb by your defaults. the upload will take about 2-3hours. when the upload is finished i get the “token expired…” message and the file is not there. what must be changed to do a upload for a couple of hours?
Can you explain, how to update with zypper… if it’s available
Thank’s
to complete my question, i found that:
"
zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/openSUSE_12.2/isv:ownCloud:community.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install owncloud"
Why not use zypper up -t packages ?

This is a really cool project. It inspired me to build a Ubuntu virtual machine with ownCloud. I built mine with a desktop interface because I don’t like doing everything via command line. Check it out: http://www.ben-costello.com/ubento-with-owncloud-part-1/
Hi, everything is running fine with the new version. But i have some problems with ssl. I generated certficates and put them into default-vhost-ssl.conf. But i got ssl error 107 in firefox and chrome.
So can you tell me please where is my error? Or are there any futher instructions? I am not so sure that everything i did is correct. Thx for your help.
I was wondering if you could help me choose, as I do, ’cause when I do so give error, a help wanted, since their software is the best site …. could you help me? I beg you, thank you!
What exactly do you need help with?
Thank you, you have really have helped me.
hey, can you tell me how to take a test drive ?
Just click on the big Testdrive button in the right side bar.
nice man but i am not use your os but great idea
Great work. I was able to get everything working great but need to change the port. I edited the listen.conf file in the apache folder. only way to acces the webpage is to change port back to 80. Am i missing something?
Thanks
Please disregard above message i solved my issue.
Thanks again
Hi Jason
I am wondering how do you fix this issue
Hi. When running the VM, all I see is the ownCloud logo on boot up. How do you get to the listen.conf file?
Thank you
Works great
anychance you’ll have Version 4.5.3 (Nov 27th 2012) available anytime soon?
It’s available now.
Nice Project.
Somebody can tell me what is the account of th database, please. I try with root/linux but I can’t acces. Thanks for all.
Hallo,
soweit läuft die VM in Virtualbox unter Linux, tolle Sache.
Kann aber keine User anlegen, Meldung: The username is already being used
Gibt es da eine Lösung?
Danke schon mal…
Bei mir lädt es nur, aber es kommt nix
bei mir funktionierd es nicht, es lädt ewig, warum?
Hi, There is any way to use the ISO and install to HD ? Then is possible to set a static IP from interface ? Thanks
Hi,
1.: thanks for this great Image ! Coll Idea !
Question: Can I expand the Space of 16GB (You Standard VM Image)
16 GB is a bit low.
Thanks !
You can clone the appliance, change this setting, and build it yourself.
Quick question . i am running this appliance in VMware ESXi and also have a windows server 2012 VM setup in esxi which is running ADDC … I would like to use my active directory as authentication credenditals for access to open cloud.. i have no idea how to do this or how it relates to LDAP.. also i see ldap warnings in the log does that mean anything ? any detailed step by step instructions would be great. btw because i am an idiot and new to all this stuff i only was successful in setting up my ADDC as a local domain called electronet.local basically because i dont know how to setup a domain name subnet “olivetree.davisdarvish.com” to be my domain name.. all the records i need to change with my registrar and etc makes this way too confusing for a n00b like me..; anyhow please help.. thanks in adv
Blank Screen.
When I try to log in I only get blank screen. Admin or any user.
This occurred when I activated WebDAV.
I can’t get to the (admin) webinterface anymore.
Is there a way to reset condiguration?
I can’t reproduce this problem. Which format are you using?
i also get a blank screen
German: Ich hatte noch nicht einmal das System Passwort geändert und auch nur das Webdav Backend Aktviert und dann kam der “White Screen”. Hatte ein Snapshot und kann jederzeit das Problem reproduzieren.
VMware version konvertiert für vsphere4.1
I have exactly the same problem but on Amazon EC2
A few notes:
- the .tar.gz file is seen as very strange from Windows programs that are normally perfectly able to read .tar.gz files – however works just fine from Linux
- the virtual machine starts just fine (it is a text-mode server so there is not much to see there) – HOWEVER depending on the network-related settings in your OS and VMware installation IT MIGHT SHOW INITIAL NETWORK PROBLEMS – the thing is that the virtual machine is (CORRECTLY!) using bridged networking (meaning that the virtual machine can be seen outside the local host), but if you have a number of networks and the Virtual Network Editor in VMware is set on Automatic there might be cases when the virtual machine does not get an IPv4 address from your network DHCP server/router!
In which cases won’t work the network under VMware? What can be done to address this?
Something similar happened to me, I use VirtualBox 4.1.22 on Windows 7.
The first time I booted the VM worked like a charm and still does using Bridged Network.
Then, I copied the machine and moved it to my Linux machine also using virtual box 4.1.22 on Lucid, and then the network was gone, could not get an IP address, not even the network interface was active
I think each time you modify or give a new MAC address in VirtualBox settings, udev assigns a new eth number, the solution I found was to edit (on the Guest OS)
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
or delete that file, anyway it will be created at the next reboot.
So if you move VMachines around, assign the same MAC or modify/delete that file
Hope it helps,
Cheers!
Hello, the extension .tar.gz seems to be the problem. Just renamed the file to extension .tgz instead of .tar.gz and extracting the contents using 7zip worked like a charm.
im a little noob with linux but how can i install i only get command line interface pls help me
In order to get proper help, can you specify which are you using? Virtual (VMWare, Virtual Hard disk, Xen image). I am using VMWare with the virtual image, and when I start it in VMWare, Linux loads up and then I can access the ownCloud via the browser and IP address the Linux server is using.
i am using on a pc just as os not in a virtual enviroment
This is great work, and appreciated very much.
I manage to set up the owncloud, I can log in and create contacts, I can download them as default.vcf, but whenever I try to import this file, there is no success. Even after minutes it says “importing” and on the server there are messages like:
serio0: unknown key pressed (translate set 2, code 0xf7 on isa 0060/serio0)[a number] atkbd serio0: use setkeywords e077 to make it known
How can I get this working?
There is an issue with CardDAV PUT, too. Perhaps it’s the same cause…
I fixed it by logon as root/linux and command…
zypper install php-iconv
…. and VM restart.
I added the package to the image. Will be in the next release.
how do you increase the default upload size limit?
nvm ill just use winscp
what is the password of the root user?
It’s listed in the “Technical Details” section a bit above on this same page.
Hi. I’m also using the VMWare appliance. How to change the access to https?
Don’t know very much about Linux and need a little bit help.
Can someone explain how to do this?
Thanks.
Hi,
This is great, I never could get everything going right without the appliance. .. But, since this is an appliance, why not give it the host name of “owncloud” and put the Owncloud directory in the webserver root, so you could just start it up with: http://owncloud/ ?
Hello check out “openOS”, it´s perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I downloaded the vmware appliance and there is a very weird bug with the networking. I cannot disable ipv6 to allow ipv4 to start working.
I have tried to follow some guides, but i don’t think its working, and I can’t see the error during bootup cause it goes by so quickly.
Does anyone else have this issue? Novie openSUSE user, my usual linux commands don’t seem to like me very much.
It also complains A LOT about a martian address, i’ve never ever ever seen this problem. I can hardly type a sentence before it tells me i have martians.
Nice Work! I uploaded this to EC2 and was able to get in and am up and running. When I go to the settings page i get the following error at the top of the page.
Security Warning
Your data directory and your files are probably accessible from the internet. The .htaccess file that ownCloud provides is not working. We strongly suggest that you configure your webserver in a way that the data directory is no longer accessible or you move the data directory outside the webserver document root.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Any solution for this? I have the issue.
Ok, actually the challenge seems to be just a little bit bigger than what I’m willing to investigate for now: In order to get the .htaccess working as desired, I changed “AllowOverride None” to “AllowOverride All” in the Apache2 default server config file and then enabled modrewrite by calling “a2enmod rewrite”, now that part seems to work but I get a 403-forbidden and in addition a 404 error page not found when trying to log-on so apparently the line in the htaccess that deals with 403 errors is not working somehow.
Anyways, I think it is a great appliance but if you use it out of the box, be aware that all your files are essentially public.
I found a way how to fix this problem. Will be in the next release.
The VMware / VirtualBox / KVM image (806a88d03c902e867ca78192fad2fbf1) is broken. Whatever it is, it is neither a valid gz, tar or vmx file.
It works for me. The dowloaded file is a tar.gz with contains an directory with the actual image files. I tried it with KVM and it runs fine.
I tried ownCloud-in-a-box yesterday and I think it’s great but I just cannot figure how to do a permanent from the live CD. I tried the preload version too without any luck. I know there is a link to view install instructions but when I go to it I cannot for the life of me find what I need.
Can anybody help me with more detailed instructions, please?
Same here :(
Hi, is that owncloud release ralated to a PAM authentication and linux accounts. I’m looking for a way to do that on debian arm architecture, and I am looking around for options.
This appliance uses the built-in account system, so ownCloud accounts are separate from Linux accounts.
Another question. I cloned the VM and set the IP to static. When the VM runs on a Windows-Server which uses dyndns via Port 80 through my NAT, is it possible to access the owncloud-VM via the same link? Acctually Im using the Homeserver, which has a feature called remote-access. You can acces the Website through youname.homeserver.com.. Is it possible to access the VM by adding /owncloud or a portnumber to make it accessable from the entire Internet? :)
Hey there. Im looking for a specific solution to get own cloud working on a windows homeserver, through virtualbox. BUT Im not really in to Linux..So I was just wondering, if there is a tutorial to get the box working? I’ve downloaded the Live version and have installed it on a virtual disk in virtualbox. How can I use it now? Just visit “localhost/owncloud/” in the browser of my hostsystem? Isnt localhost the name for the hostsystem as well? Im confused! Is there a short tutorial out there?
Anyway, great work1
Now its working. Awesome. Thats, what Ive done:
Download virtual vmdk-file for virtualbox
Configure virtualbox with bridged network
find out, what Ip adress is used by the running suse instance by login in as root and typing “ifconfig”
what youll get is the ipadress which has to be added to your browser “http://yourip/owncloud”
Awesome! Thanks! :)
Ok, I’m a linux noob trying to get this going and learn something in the process. Here’s what I’ve done and where I’m at….
1. Uploaded and launched the default AMI to my EC2 account.
Once the instance was running, I went to http:/[EIP]/owncloud but no dice.
I decided to connect to SSH in Putty. Problem is I was never given the option to download the key pair (.pem file) which I would need to convert to a .ppk file in order to access SSH. Doh!
2. Created a duplicate AMI with my own key pair and was able to get in via Putty. However, I still cant get in through the browser. I’ve tried everything! (but the right thing apparently). Any help would be very much appreciated!
Ryan
Click on the “View connection info…” link in the list of images running on EC2 at susestudio.com/ec2. There you’ll get the option to download the key pair.
Thanks!
My client can’t synchronize because the system time between the server and the client differs too much.
The time on the client and the server differs only 2 seconds. But I think it has to do with the time zone.
I would recommend running NTP on both server and client to make sure the times match.
Can you please tell me how to manage this on the server site? And should the server be in the same timezone as the client.
I placed the owncloud server in the DMZ. Can you tell me where I can put the command to define the route? After a reboot I have to run the command:
route add default gw 192.168.170.250 eth0
Have you tried putting that into the boot script of the appliance (on the Configuration/Scripts tab)?
How can I put that into the boot script? I believe I can’t manage my virtual appliance with the gui, so how is it possible to go to the configuration tab?
Can’t connect to owncloud from Windows Browser when using vbox. Not even the login is displayed and I tried every network type. It doesn’t works, what do I make wrong?
Found changed to virtual istead of media, to test it.
But for me the Vbox maschin is the same, like the one i set up, but with mine didn’t get an IP if i lookup ifconfig. Stupit. But this way it works.
What excactly have you done after installing it in vbox?
When I boot from the LiveCD version 4.0.2, I am prompted for the linux-erxq username/password. I enter admin/owncloud42 but these credentials are rejected.
What are the correct credentials? Is this a bug?
It’s not a bug. You have to use the credentials of the system users. See the section “Accounts” a little bit above in the description of the configuration. The admin/owncloud42 credentials are only for the web interface.
jk just kiding i need help when i bootown cloud in a box it says this starting ssh deamon ..done
and thats all its saying
c++c++c+++c++c++c++c++c++c++ do that
There has got to me more to getting this to work then simply booting a usb and type http://localhost/owncloud. I stumbled across owncloud and wanted to give it a test. I have downloaded both the Virt (running on openbox) and the bootable usb. Each boots to the linux shell. Now what? I can’t just simply type http://localhost/owncloud. it doesn’t open anything. “page cannot be displayed” As I said I am new so I just must be missing something, somethings?? Someone Please educate me.
I have made good progress. Changed network setting from NAT to Bridged and I can now access ownCloud. I have a few ongoing issues that I have not resolved. Some I have seen here but no known resolution. anyway.
1. Can’t add new user. I see a couple of people have mentioned it but I don’t see how they have solved it.
2. I have the “The System time between the local…..” same as Tim Miller.
3. I would like to simple use my existing “photo”, “music” folder to share in ownCloud but can’t seem to do that. Or, Where does the VM version store the files it is sharing? On the virtual disk?
4. Last, I can’t goo to the web interface and add any file, no matter what size file it tell me the fine size is too big.
I have downloaded and install the virtual iso and it is working.
Able to login into the web interface add a user etc.
But after I install the client I am getting the “The system time between the local machine and the server differs too much”.
So I am in the central time zone, install the America/Chicago zone, I check the linux server by doing a date and it is correct (Mon May 7 16:18:29 CDT 2012) and the windows 7 (tested on a xp also) computer same date and time with a time zone (UTC-0600) Central Time.
What am I missing? or steps to correct the issues.
By they way thanks for making a install ISO it is so handy and makes it easier for us that are not experts in linux easier. And gets our feet wet in the linux world and explorer more with linux.
TM
Note: I just downloaded the latest last week 3.0.6.
Hi Tim did you manage to solve the problem, I’m using the newst 3.0.8 version and windows client 1.0.1 and have the same problem as you :(
No I haven’t figured this out yet.
Any ideas would be great.
In the settings (The little gear icon) you’ll find an item called APPS. If you are having the problem with invisible users, look under APPS to see if LDAP is enabled. If it is, disable it.
? assuming that you posted on the wrong one cause no talk about users issue.
Hi, I just install 3.0.6, and it is working OK, but I can add users and it is working OK, unfortunately I cannot see users on the list…Why!
Same problem here, using VirtualBox with 3.0.6 virtual image.
PDF Viewer doesn’t work…seems to be a openSUSE 12.1 issue
I finally got around to fix this problem. PDF Viewer should work in the next release.
Hi Cornelius,
I configured the ldap settings and when I login with a ldap user I get:
call to undefined function ldap_connect()
in /etc/apache2/error_log.
Is this a known issue?
Thx
There was a zypper php5-ldap missing …
Thanks for the report. I’ll add the package and release a new version.
Cannot seem to add users to the web console? Any suggestions?
I’m having the same problem. I tried in both Chrome and Firefox. I have owncloud installed on my home server on top of FreeBSD and I have a problem with the accounts page there too. At least on my server I can add users, I just can’t remove them from from any groups once I’ve added them to a group. It’s certainly an issue when it’s the admin group. Thankfully no one other than me even uses my ownCloud instance yet. I really want to get ownCloud and Mirall working so that I can drop Dropbox. I hate giving my data to a third party.
I’ve uploaded this straight to EC2, thanks for making an easy to use package. I’ve also been able to SSH in as “tux” but not as “root”, keeps saying wrong password. Am I missing something? Thanks!
I should also add that I’ve tried logging in as “tux” and then elevating via “su -” and it’s still wrong password. Thanks.
Figured it out, had to use the private key. :)
Why are you using 11.4 repos when your appliance is based on 12.1?
I tried to get this running in EC2, but I couldn’t connect to vm (no ssh, no http). I’m gonna investigate this yet. :)
Got this solved. One need to open the ports for ssh (and http) manually.
Next problem: How do I get the data saved permanently? EC2 service only supports temporary data storage which will be cleared after reboot. Any suggestions?
What exactly do you mean by opening the ports for ssh and http? Where did you have to open these ports?
The storage of the EC2 instances should be permanent. Data should persist between reboots. If you terminate an instance it will be erased, though.
The Live CD/DVD did not work.
After booting from CD it cannot find CD or DVD (!)
This works for me. I can run ownCloud from a live CD just fine. Maybe there is a problem with the physical medium.
Hallo, why is access to OwnCloud not possible via https by default?
Or am I wrong here? – then say me please how to get it.
Reiner Gehring
https needs setup of a certificate. This can’t be done in the prebuilt appliance, but needs to be done after installation. Would be great to have some instructions how to do it, though. Maybe there is already some help out there we could at least link to.
hello, i can log in to the owncloud webpage but i can ot log in in tto the opensuse machine… please help
You can ssh to the machine as root or as regular user tux, password is “linux” (see “accounts” section on this page). Obviously you should change the passwords when setting up your ownCloud appliance.
Make it better.
What? I am not quite a nooby, but I must be missing something here. How do I install the Hard Disk version (or any version for that matter)? The file is a compressed file and once you decompress it, you have a file with a .RAW file extension. What do I do with it? I am trying to install OwnCloud In a Box onto a computer that is already running Linux (Crunchbang Linux") but I don’t see how to do this. I don’t care about keeping the current Linux on the computer. I just want the OwnCloud server on my computer. Can someone give me plain, detailed instructions? Thanks a lot.
See the Disk Image Howtos for instructions how to install the image to a file.
What is the username/password for ownCloud’s web interface? How do I configure new users?
Sorry, was blind for a minute…
>> “Run the appliance, go to http://[yourservername]/owncloud and login as admin with the password owncloud42. Change the password in the admin interface and use the URL, which is shown there to access ownCloud via WebDAV.” <<
Hello, I just try to run as XEN guest, but when going create this instance it returns
Error: (1, ‘Internal error’, ‘xc_dom_do_gunzip: inflate failed (rc=-3)\n’)
It was working smoothly before 12.1 upgrade.
Any ideas?
Is it relatively easy to extend the ownCloud to have additional nodes. Are their instructions for that anywhere?
Hi,
I tried to set as the owncloud2 data folder of a folder mounted with s3fs (for amazon s3) ownCloud but fails. OwnCloud can ’write to a partition mounted with s3fs (s3 bucket)?
Sorry for bad English !
this is most likely a permissions issue, you have to make sure that the webserver user has r/wr access to the s3 bucket you are mounting.
Also, as a side-note/warning, mounting s3 buckets isn’t very stable and it often unmounts itself due to connection / timeout issues.
Hope this helps
Hmm, this is hard to use. Services fail to start at startup because of missing ip, ifconfig does not store ip adress permanent so a restart of the box forgets the ip I have set.
So, I need to edit ifcg-eth0, but I get stuck in VI-editor because I cant change keyboard settings to Swedish ( set Swedish in startup-screen, but thats ignored). Changing keyboard settings is not easy because I have wrong keyboard to even put basic commands. Yast is not there, is that to easy?
Anyway, last resort, download webmin then so I might get some sort of gui to the box running, but wget is not here either, and not lynx either from what I can tell. Funny, all I need to do in order to get stuff work is set an IP address and get proper language on keyboard… Im not a noob and not an expert either, baffled about me not getting this to work, will try some more….
The system is meant as a minimal system, that’s why it doesn’t include much tools. If you need more or you just want to change the network settings, you can simply clone the appliance, and modify it to fit your needs.
Yes, I do understand that. So far I have been doing;
ifconfig eth0 192.168.250.217 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.250.255
Then added gateway;
route add default gw 192.168.250.254 eth0
Then I managed to “vi /etc/resolv.conf” and add “nameserver 192.168.250.129”
So, finally, I can surf to the box and connect ownCloud! If I restart the box however, the settings are gone. So, Now I am trying hard to get webmin on the box in order to getting it easily managed. I have at last managed to download the RPM;
curl -L -O http://prdownloads.sourcforge.com/webadmin/webmin-1.570-1.src.rpm
And when I try to install, it just does not, without any comments.
rpm -Uvh —nosignature webmin-1.570-1.src.rpm
I know, this is WAY of topic, but I just trying to get this minimal installation going… Is this box not supposed to install rpm:s? I am obviously missing something…
I am an idiot, ok, I know…
should have been downloading webmin-1.570-1.noarch.rpm
You don’t have to do the network configuration manually. You can create your own appliance based on my one (just click the “clone appliance…” link at the top right of this page, and do the network configuration with the Studio UI. Then it will be persistent and you don’t need to add any other packages (of course you can still add some management tools like webmin or YaST, if you like)
Wow, I did not know about that. I am new on susegallery – what a feature to clone your machine and add stuff to it – amazing! Thanks for your help!
I just got it installed under VMWare, was really easy!
One question though, I saw that the LDAP plugin was installed and enabled but I cannot find where to do the LDAP settings, there doesn’t seem to be a menuoption for it.
Good question. I haven’t used the LDAP plugin myself. Maybe you can find an answer by checking out the ownCloud documentation.
Hi, I installed it in a VirtualBox VM.
How do I run owncloud first time wizard ? what is owncloud default username and password ?
How can I configure it ?
Thanks.
ownCloud is already configured, so you don’t need to run the wizard. The default username and password is in the description on the SUSE Gallery page.
Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
I used the username and password from the description on the SUSE Gallery page but I still can’t login to ownCloud web interface (have no problem login to the machine).
How do I add users ?
OK, Found it.
How did you do it??
Nevermind…
I already have a server running(lamp). how would i install on that?
Just follow the instructions on the owncloud web site. It’s pretty easy.
Without yast, it really makes network config interesting. Sure, ifconfig works but the average noob will never figure that out. This should really ship as DHCP enabled, and have some instructions on how to change it. Having a default static IP will almost never work properly.
You are right. I’ll rebuild it with DHCP configuration.
What is the linux-kzmu?
Is there an installer for this program?
In the download section of this page there are link with instructions how to install this system for the various different types of images.
Seems to be working! How to enable SSL on the appliance?
It’s standard apache, so adding a certificate and doing the standard configuration should do the trick.
What is the server name after boot-up ? <> http://[yourservername]/owncloud
I used the vmware image – this failed <> httpd2-prefork , linux-xxvt (no idea or erros posted)
may try again, but must be more user notes, ie step by step
good luck !
I was having the same problem figuring out what to use for server name.
I installed ownCloud in a Virtualbox machine.
Logon the console terminal with the userid = tux and password = linux.
Enter /sbin/ifconfig at the command prompt
Write down the eth0 inet addr: such as 192.168.1.100
Go to http://192.168.1.100/owncloud in your web browser and the ownCloud
web interface should appear. Don’t forgot to use the IP address from the ifconfig
output.
Logon the web interface as admin with the password owncloud42 as documented
at the beginning of this web page.
Hope this help someone.
@Cornelius Schmacher
Some of the other systems with web interfaces display a line showing correct command
to logon with the current IP address. I believe FreeNAS and OpenMediaVault both
display it.
good idea, good os
You need to add zypper or yast to the image so that people can update it
Good point. I’ll add zypper.
Are you planning to add also S3-type functionality? I need that to test something, but perhaps I must study how to install it myself. I must say the instructions seems a little complicated (Eucalyptus).
You can upload the image to S3, if you download the Amazon EC2 image, and upload it yourself.
just to ask, this is a Cloud OS?
Great work. I can translate to Brazilian Portuguese if you want.
it is a command line interface, dont like them.
This is a server appliance, so the UI for the user is a web interface. Managing the system itself is command line of course, but that’s how it usually is for server systems, and there shouldn’t be much to do for this appliance on the command line, as it’s supposed to more or less work out of the box.
hey guy’s do you think you could vist my new os linux leopard
I TURNED IT INTO NANOSOFT OPENWINDOWS
when i used it it looked more like a terminal than a gui
dont like it very much
What is it you don’t like? Suggestions how to improve it are welcome.
I AM VERY SORRY TO INSULT YOUR OS I WASNT USED TO COMMAND LINE YET
I THOUGHT IT WAS A GLITCH
what’s the user and pass to access to the appliance console? It’s not admin and owncloud42.
I mean, when you run the live cd and want to log in.
See the appliance configuration section. There are the accounts listed. The standard user account is tux/linux.
cool
good work.
