In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps to install ownCloud in Docker using a Docker Compose file for easy cloud storage and file sharing. Let's get started!
# Step 1: Create a project directory
First, create a new project directory for ownCloud:
1mkdir owncloud-docker-server
2cd owncloud-docker-server
# Step 2: Copy the Docker Compose file
Next, copy the Docker Compose file from the ownCloud documentation repository:
1wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/owncloud/docs-server/master/modules/admin_manual/examples/installation/docker/docker-compose.yml
This file contains the configuration settings for the ownCloud Docker container, including the MariaDB and Redis containers.
# Step 3: Create the environment configuration file
Create an environment configuration file named .env in the project directory with the following contents:
1cat << EOF > .env
2OWNCLOUD_VERSION=10.11
3OWNCLOUD_DOMAIN=localhost:8080
4OWNCLOUD_TRUSTED_DOMAINS=localhost
5ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
6ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin
7HTTP_PORT=8080
8EOF
This sets the required configuration settings for ownCloud, including the version, domain name, trusted domains, admin username and password, and HTTP port.
# Step 4: Build and start the ownCloud container
Build and start the ownCloud container using the following command:
1docker-compose up -d
This will download the required Docker images, build the ownCloud Docker image, and start the container in detached mode. You can then access the ownCloud web interface by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. The admin username and password you set in the .env file will be used to log in to the web interface.
That's it! You've successfully installed ownCloud in Docker using a Docker Compose file. You can now use it to store and share files in the cloud.
