chmod 600 server.key
chmod 600 server.crt
####Download and extract ownCloud software
cd /var/www
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-7.0.2.tar.bz2
tar xjf owncloud-7.0.2.tar.bz2
mkdir -p owncloud/data
touch owncloud/config/autoconfig.php
cat << EOF >> owncloud/config/autoconfig.php
<?php
$AUTOCONFIG = array(
"dbtype" => "pgsql",
"dbname" => "$db_name",
"dbuser" => "$db_user",
"dbpass" => "$db_password",
"dbhost" => "localhost",
"dbtableprefix" => "",
"directory" => "/var/www/owncloud/data",
);
EOF
chmod 770 owncloud/data
chmod 777 owncloud/config/
chown -R root:apache owncloud
rm -rf owncloud-7.0.2.tar.bz2
/etc/init.d/postgresql-9.3 restart
/etc/init.d/nginx start
######Display generated passwords to log file.
echo "Database Name: " $db_name
echo "Database User: " $db_user
echo "Database Password: " $db_password
echo "Visit your ownCloud at https://"$ip_addr
After running the script, you will be able to access your ownCloud and create your admin account at https://youripaddress. The initial page will say you are using SQLite, but the server is already configured to properly use PGSQL. This is tested and working on a VM with 512MB of RAM, but you may want something slightly bigger or create a swap file for slightly better performance. The SSL certificate is self-signed, but can be replaced if you are so inclined. Do not forget to retrieve your database credentials ( tail /tmp/firstboot.log ) and to remove that file once you have deployed.
