====== OwnCloud ======
**OwnCloud** is an open-source alternative to 'cloud' storage things like [[wp>dropbox]], as well as web-app things like calendars and addressbooks, and even Google Docs. It's probably best to go with the //completely// free alternative called [[NextCloud]], but that's not availible on my NAS :|

===== Add-ons =====

==== Calendar ====
Using **[[caldav]]** on Android things sync just fine with the link provided in ownCloud.
But with **[[Thunderbird#Lightning]]** you need to go through all the different calendars and get individual links. A bit of a pain!

==== Contacts ====

Having trouble importing contacts from one ownCloud to NextCloud. This guy seems to have a solution down the bottom of this thread, just renaming some things: https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/433

==== QNAP ====
QNAP NASes don't seem to like installing add-ons through ownCloud >:| The probablem being that the version is stuck on **8**-something, whereas the current OwnCloud version is **10**-something! Both the deleted methods below didn't actually work.

Options are:
  * Use old versions of the add-ons found here: [[git>owncloudarchive]] (insecure)
  * Use 3rd-party repo [[https://www.qnapclub.eu/|qnapclub]] (''https://www.qnapclub.eu/en/repo.xml''), which had up-t%%o-%%date versions of NextCloud and ownCloud. Not sure how to get SSL set-up for them yet. Nor can I find the NextCloud directory after it installed, even thoug hit works. ＭＹＳＴＥＲＩＯＵＳ.

<del>So you have to manually download them and place them in the ''apps'' directory, or make a secondary directory if you want to keep them seperate (FIXME).</del>

<del>But if you add these lines to your ''config.php'' it should be fixed.

nbjp the ''appstoreurl'' is different than in the one in ''config.php.sample''.

<code>
  'appstoreenabled' => true,
  'appstoreurl' => 'https://marketplace.owncloud.com/api/v0',
</code></del>

===== Upgrading =====
The trouble-free-est way to upgrade seems to be to [[tool:software:ssh]] into the server, then run ''php occ upgrade'' from the directory owncloud's installed to.

To upgrade to a new version (IE 9 > 10) you have to download and reinstall first, retaining the ''data'' and ''config'' directories. My process is:

  * ''wget [latest version]'' to download latest version.
  * ''mv [owncloud dir] [owncloud dir]-backup'' to rename.
  * ''tar xvjf [latest version archive]'' to extract archive.
  * ''cp -avr [owncloud dir]-backup/config [owncloud dir]/config''\\ ''cp -avr [owncloud dir]-backup/data [owncloud dir]/data'' to copy over data and configuation stuffs.
  * ''cd [owncloud dir]'' and ''php occ upgrade''
