I managed to get everything setup as instructed. One thing I had to do that wasn't instructed here was to edit the config.php which is in the hidden folder ~/.owncloud_docker/config.php I had to add my local server ip address and external domain name into the trusted domains section 0 => '192.168.1.67', 1 => 'mydomain.com', I couldn't connect with my phone or from another computer if i didn't do this.
A developer should write an easy setup and run application for OwnCloud like MAMP. A simple windows, where the user can select the docker container for the OwnCloud application, a docker container for the OwnCloud database, fill in some network settings and press run. I would also pay for an app like this.
Hello, thanks for the tutorial. I am stuck at 8:54 where you paste the text and you say you will put it or its website link in the notes. Where to find this information, please?
i installed docker and created the docker-compose.yml file, however when i try to run the "docker-compose up -d" command i got the error: Unsupported config option for services.owncloud: 'mysql' command any idea what i am doing wrong? is there setup that should have occurred prior to the start of this video on my end? thank you!
Hi Todd, would Owncloud allow me to see proxies of the shared files rather than actually syncing everything? I have bandwidth issues at work but would like access to my files if I need them.
Thanks for the comment. No it syncs the actual files so this solution is probably not for you. You may want to store the files online somewhere or you could use file sharing to gain access to your files. Hope that helps!
Hi, I have a question please, i recently moved on HIGH SIERRA CLIENT on a macbook connected to our server EL CAPITAN with network folder located on it. So I would like recreate on macbook a MOBILE account. El capitan permitted to me to create a mobile account in the user&groups system preferences (in high Sierra too) and immediately I got the pop up menu with the folder to be synced and modality (home folder or some of its folder, login, logout,manually etc..On OS High Sierra this pop up menu disappeared totally and I can NOT control the syncing mobile account anymore!!! AAAAH!!! Did Apple decide to remove also that option? Thanks in advance for helping me.
Wow I am so lost now. Where do I start. I just want my own iCloud. I don’t want to pay for the storage when I already have a 3T AirPort Extreme time capsule. Please help
Thanks Todd for the video. Somehow I'm unable to get loclahost running even though I did the setup as per video .I've tried changing ports / running it in different browser but I always get site not reachable in browser. In docker it shows application is running and logs are also normal. Any idea what could be wrong
Hi Todd, one question; I didn't configure de database cause I did it faster than the video, and I cannot come back, any suggestion?Cause when I try to do it again, I only see the user and pass boxes!Thnks
Thanks that's a great tuts and channel ! At the last step I got this : SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away. Should I change the timeout value ? How can I check/change it ? Thanks !
What are your thoughts on Tonido, Pogoplug or Spotdox? I believe they are more turnkey solutions than ownCloud with native macOS support. Spotdox seems interesting to me because it piggy backs off DropBox to access all your machine's files.
Hello, how do you update OwnCloud in Docker? do you have to do some special procedures to do it? or you simply update within the app? also how do you manage Storage for Data? is it unlimited? ( meaning you can use as much storage as you have available on disk that docker is installed on?) Please advise
Once I’ve get this setup on my MacBook Air will this work on all of my devices because I set it up on virtualbox it didn’t work once I shut down virtualbox like iPhone that I’ve got the app on plus android device didn’t work as well the text you paste in atom it’s not there I couldn’t find it.
Thanks for the comment. This needs to be run as a server on a machine that is always on or it won't work with your other devices. I wouldn't' recommend running it on a laptop unless you are leaving it in one place and on all the time.
one more question I would like to copy a bunch of files to my owncloud without using a client. I understand it's ok to do this and use occ files:scan to update the data base. All the commands i've tried don't work. Do you have the correct code to use? This is what i was using: sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan
i am getting the following message when trying to create the admin account in Owncloud for the first time; "Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in driver: SQLSTATE(HY000)(1045) Access denied for user root@172.18.0.3 (using password:YES)" What could be the issue here? Best regards Petter
Thanks for the comment. Yes I could do that but for now, you would open the port that you used in the set up (8080 or whatever you have after the localhost in your url you use to get to the owncloud instance. Hope that helps.
Awesome video! I have been using nextcloud for a little while now on a raspberry pi and I kept hearing about docker. I was not sure what exactly it did... and now I know! ahahah Can you easily do the same thing when installing nextcloud with docker on the mac?
Thanks for the comment. You should be able to do the same thing with Nextcloud if they have an instance you can run on it. I’ll have to do some research and look at doing a screencast on that in the future.
Is it only I who got this: net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)" trying to fetch OwnCloud/High Sierra...bummer when video instructions made it look easy while not speaking of issues and how to address them! Wasted an evening it seems...wow, lots of others on Githud did also!
Thanks for the comment. So sorry you experienced that error. I didn’t have that come up for me at all and it is difficult to do a video on all of the possible things that might go wrong for any particular user in setting things up. Usually there are some kind of fix that comes out on Github for it or through the updates. You could also try reinstalling it to see if that works.
Todd how can i get owncloud to start automatically when i reboot? Docker starts but unless i type in terminal "docker-compose up -d" after rebooting, owncloud doesn't work.
First its a great video, that you made. I do not understand why you picked owncloud and not nextcloud. This guy macminicolo.net/blog/files/install-owncloud-on-a-mac-mini-server.html made a manual for owncloud, no need for docker (at least pre Server 5.6.1). Earlier I ran owncloud and now nextcloud w/o Docker. I only have one minor htts issue. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comment. Seems that your mariaDB part of your installation did not happen or it didn’t get set up initially when you first launched Owncloud. I would go back and do the install portion and see if that doesn’t fix it.
Great video Todd. Iam getting this error : ERROR: yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block collection in "./docker-compose.yml", line 10, column 7 expected , but found '?' in "./docker-compose.yml", line 11, column 7 Can you help please?
Looks like there are a couple of errors in the .yml file on line 10 and 11. It is looking for those block ends as shown instead of a question mark. Look for the errors as mentioned in the .yml file and make the changes and it should run ok.
If you mean file sharing, that is included in the OS now so that is still available. The calendar, contacts, etc is not there but you could use iCloud. If you don't want iCloud then you could use something like this instead.
So sorry it didn't work, I would retrace the steps and see if you can get it running. There must be some step that got missed. Sorry there isn't an easier way to handle it:(.
One of the caveats to Linux (and this is from someone who uses Linux exclusively) is that sometimes there's some drama and projects fork, as with OpenOffice/LibreOffice, and the forked version becomes better for one reason or another (more features, better security, or otherwise a better foundation/etc). But yeah, awesome video resources for people who learn from audio/visual! :)
Are they free? Looking for a Jabber (Apple Messenger) alternative that can hooked up to the Apple Open Directory that is not attached to a subscription.
Spamgiveme I don't know about Apple Open Directory, but NextCloud is free and open source :) hosting it on the web would cost money like anything hosted online though.
Thank you very much! It works!
I managed to get everything setup as instructed. One thing I had to do that wasn't instructed here was to edit the config.php which is in the hidden folder ~/.owncloud_docker/config.php

iphone&ipad owncloud app didn't work when i typed server url (e.g. localhost:8080/) so i can't log in my phone&pad
what's the problem? help me plz :-(
Excellent supplement for Mac server. Thank you for sharing !
Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it!
Once the client software is installed, can I access the files offline?
Hello, thanks for the tutorial.

@buse kutar I'm having the same issue. Did you ever get this working?
i installed docker and created the docker-compose.yml file, however when i try to run the "docker-compose up -d" command i got the error: Unsupported config option for services.owncloud: 'mysql'
command any idea what i am doing wrong? is there setup that should have occurred prior to the start of this video on my end? thank you!
Same problem but different error msg "services.image must be a mapping"

I will use my QNAP Nas for stuff like this in the future.
Sounds like a good plan. I hope to get either a QNAP or Synology soon and do some screencasts on that as well.

I can't find the text you past in the docker-compose.ylm file, where do I find that?
It is "docker-compose.yml" file...
Though I input the correct bytes, It still displays "No application knows how to open /Users/..."

Hi thanks for the tutorial. I can access on localhost what about outside my network using the client app what is the server address?

can you make a video on setting it up with port forwarding? i cant figure out how to get mine online
Thanks for the comment. Yes I could do that but for now, you would open the port that you used in the set up (8080 or whatever you have after the localhost in your url you use to get to the owncloud instance. Hope that helps.

Todd how can i get owncloud to start automatically when i reboot? Docker starts but unless i type in terminal "docker-compose up -d" after rebooting, owncloud doesn't work.
How about creating a startup skript? or creating crond.job that checks that it is runnig?
First its a great video, that you made. I do not understand why you picked owncloud and not nextcloud. This guy macminicolo.net/blog/files/install-owncloud-on-a-mac-mini-server.html made a manual for owncloud, no need for docker (at least pre Server 5.6.1). Earlier I ran owncloud and now nextcloud w/o Docker. I only have one minor htts issue. Keep up the good work.
Does this server set up require a dedicated IP address or dormant name? I just got a used Mac mini 2014. Thank you,
I followed it with you, but got an error of 'SQLSTATE[HY000][2002]No such file or diretory'.
I want you to know how to fix it.
Thanks for the comment. Seems that your mariaDB part of your installation did not happen or it didn’t get set up initially when you first launched Owncloud. I would go back and do the install portion and see if that doesn’t fix it.
Thank you. Installation was successful. It seems that an error has occurred because of different Volumes PATH.
I think I am having the same issue, can you be a bit more specific regarding the path?
Thx Petter
Great video Todd. Iam getting this error : ERROR: yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block collection

Looks like there are a couple of errors in the .yml file on line 10 and 11. It is looking for those block ends as shown instead of a question mark. Look for the errors as mentioned in the .yml file and make the changes and it should run ok.
Thanks
But the sharing services aren't going to be removed , right?
If you mean file sharing, that is included in the OS now so that is still available. The calendar, contacts, etc is not there but you could use iCloud. If you don't want iCloud then you could use something like this instead.
Todd Olthoff oh ok thanks
it did not work for me. I'm missing something!
So sorry it didn't work, I would retrace the steps and see if you can get it running. There must be some step that got missed. Sorry there isn't an easier way to handle it:(.
copy-paste text for docker-compose ? please :-)
Oops! Here is a link to an article that walks through this step by step and includes the text: brendamour.net/en/2016/09/23/owncloud_mac/
I went and broke it all, is there an uninstall ?
Check the preferences and just reset everything to default in Docker and you should be good. Hope that helps!
Link is broken
Where is the link to the yml file??

Kasun Peiris thanks for the comment! Try changing the port to see if that works.

Thank you so much, it works
Nextcloud is better ^^
Thanks for the tip. I'll be doing something on that in the future hopefully:).
