the client and server version number must match in order to work together. mine is 5.6, so I installed the mysql server version 5.6. Mysql -version # This line gives you your installed mysql CLIENT version. This might take a while, about 15 minutes on my machine, so grab a cup of coffee. I do not want to encourage you to stop using it just because I have.Ĭode: portsnap fetch extract # this line fetches the freebsd ports and extracts them to /etc/ports/. If OwnCloud still works well for anyone reading this, more power to you. Other people will have different threshholds, different usages, and different hassle levels.
For whatever reason (and truly, I haven't done enough research to assess the reason), my personal use of OwnCloud on my FreeNAS has exceeded what I believe to be an acceptable hassle-per-usefulness threshhold.

I guess I'm just saying is that OwnCloud has a very good track record (aside from the fact that the Windows client is programmed in C++!!!!), and I don't want to imply, or allow any of us to imply, that any difficulties we are having necessarily are their fault, and not either ours, or someone else's. changes in the dependencies to OwnCloud (PHP, for example).quirkiness of FreeBSD and/or the webserver I chose to implement in this popular guide.the result of wise decisions that improve the product in more important environments.So we cannot rule out (without more research than I am willing to put in) that our difficulties have nothing to do with OwnCloud itself, but are rather: And of course, often times, the most sensible thing to do (e.g., have something come out of the box in the way that makes most sense for the user that may be using this in a small business or other serious environment), like having MySQL instead of SQLite3, doesn't agree with a typical user/usage profile in one of the customer subcommunities (e.g., in this case, FreeNAS). There is OwnCloud itself, there is PHP, and there are decisions that the FreeBSD package and ports maintainers make with the delivery and packaging of OwnCloud, and PHP, etc, to say nothing of variables potentially introduced by the webserver devs or package/ports maintainers. Or, they can stick with OwnCloud, but it's hard to say what the future will bring, especially on the FreeBSD environment, and I suspect there will be much Googling in your future.Ĭlick to expand.In fairness, there are many variables here. If someone wanted to replicate the action of OwnCloud as closely as possible, I suppose "SyncThing" is the way to go. When I started having trouble with OwnCloud and it started becoming more trouble than it was worth, I asked myself, is OwnCloud actually a solution to a problem I'm having? (This is why you can never have the user experience go downhill for any reason-you don't want your customer asking himself if you're actually a solution to a problem he's having and finding out the answer is "no"). But, I sync files so infrequently that it doesn't matter really. There's a special place in hell for that, in my view. Of course, the problem here, in general, is that now I am sync'ing to servers I don't control, and I am not being a good internet citizen because I am doing a WAN transfer (i.e., using the internet itself) to effectuate a network application that I only intend to use locally. I didn't have much I needed to sync up with Owncloud, I was more interested in OwnCloud on behalf of the userbase rather than myself.

I have my SSL terminated by HAProxy running on my pfSense router.
#Owncloud on freenas free#
The free SSL Certificate only works for the domain and a single sub-domain (usually I pay for a domain name and get a free SSL Certificate from StartSSL. I don't use sub-domains because I want everything on a single domain. I use a subdirectory '/owncloud' for my ownCloud instance this is because I have other applications running in other sub-directories.This separates data from programs for easy backup and snaphots. I use a 'Data folder' that is a dataset outside of the ownCloud jail.This method will have superior performance over the PBI method because this stack uses NGINX, PHP-FPM, and MySQL instead of Apache (with Mod-PHP) and SQLite.
#Owncloud on freenas install#
This guide's purpose is to show my recommended method to install ownCloud in a jail on FreeNAS.
