OwnCloud is a PHP-based Cloud-storage web application for remote storage with file synchronization capabilities.
Step 1
You need to install several packages in order to configure OwnCloud with nginx in your server
sudo apt-get -y install nginx-full php5-fpm php5-sqlite
Step 2: Download Owncloud
Download Owncloud, replace $OWNCLOUD_VER with the latest Owncloud version.
export OWNCLOUD_VER="8.1.0" cd /var/www/ sudo wget -c https://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-${OWNCLOUD-VER}.tar.bz2
Step 3: Extract Owncloud
This will extract owncloud to /var/www/owncloud/
cd /var/www/ tar jxvf owncloud-${OWNCLOUD-VER}.tar.bz2
Step 4: Setup Nginx
You need to setup NGINX
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available sudo nano -c /etc/nginx/sites-available/owncloud
Step 4a: Setup ‘owncloud’ nginx site
Please change server_name directive to your own ip address or your own domain.
You can also download textfile and upload it directly to your server: http://pastebin.com/2P8h1zNB
