OwnCloud Setup

I wanted to document my thoughts about the OwnCloud setup...so, here it is:

Basic Installation

  • Download the server from http://owncloud.org/install/
  • Extract the archive on your server (needing Apache2, PHP5 and some more pretty common tool - usually everything you need is provided by your web hoster)
bzip2 -d owncloud-5*.bz2
tar xf owncloud-5*.tar
  • Open the location with your browser: http://<MYHOST>/owncloud
  • Configure your admin account[1]

SSL/TLS

Since I don't want to spend money for a officially signed[2] certificate, I prefer to create my own certificate. See Setup apache with a self-signed SSL/TLS-certificate for the how-to.

From now on you can, and should, use: https://<MYHOST>/owncloud

This is how it works:

  • Go to your ownCloud calendar and get the calDAV-URL:
  • Open Calendar, add a new CalDAV-account:
  • Enable SSL, if you can:

This is, how it doesn't work

  2. ↑ That does NOT mean, it's safer. It might be, but take a look at your Keychain and decide for yourself.
