freenas/owncloud repository overview

⁠What is ownCloud?

ownCloud is a self-hosted file sync and share server. It provides access to your data through a web interface, sync clients or WebDAV while providing a platform to view, sync and share across devices easily—all under your control. ownCloud’s open architecture is extensible via a simple but powerful API for applications and plugins and it works with any storage.

⁠How to use this image

⁠Start ownCloud

Starting the ownCloud instance listening on port 80 is as easy as just creating the container with all the defaults set.

Then go to http://containerip/⁠ and go through the wizard. By default this container uses SQLite for data storage, but the wizard should allow for connecting to an existing database.

For a MySQL database you can link a database container by putting it on the same docker network and selecting mysql as the database host on setup.

⁠Persistent data

All data beyond what lives in the database (file uploads, etc) is stored within the default volume /var/www/html. With this volume, ownCloud will only be updated when the file version.php is not present.

• /<mydatalocation>:/var/www/html

For fine grained data persistence, you can use 3 volumes, as shown below.

• /<mydatalocation>/apps:/var/www/html/apps installed / modified apps
• /<mydatalocation>/config:/var/www/html/config local configuration
• /<mydatalocation>/data:/var/www/html/data the actual data of your ownCloud
