⁠Usage

docker create \
--name=ownCloud \
-p 443:443 \
-v <path to config>:/config \
-v <path to data>:/data \
-e PGID=<gid> \
-e PUID=<uid> \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
-e DB_PASS=<password> \
--privileged \
owncloud

⁠Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 433 - the port(s)
• -v /config - path to ownCloud config files and database
• -v /data - path for ownCloud to store data
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
• -e TZ timezone information -eg Europe/London
• -e DB_PASS ownCloud database password - see below for explanation

It is based on phusion baseimage with ssh removed, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it ownCloud /bin/bash.

⁠User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

⁠Setting up the application

• initial webui startup, enter a username and password you want for your user in the setup screen.
• IMPORTANT, change the data folder to /data.
• IMPORTANT, because the database is built into the container, the database host is localhost and the database user and the database itself are both owncloud.
• If you do not set the DB_PASS variable, the database password will default to owncloud.
• IMPORTANT, if you use your own keys name them cert.key and cert.crt, and place them in config/keys folder.

⁠Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it ownCloud /bin/bash
• Upgrade ownCloud from the webui does not work, so just don't...
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f ownCloud
