ownCloud: Building a Private Cloud

Cloud services are popular nowadays, and the words derived from them include private cloud, public cloud, which can be further divided into a series of new terms such as cloud storage, cloud computing, cloud software, cloud security, etc. But these are not relevant to this article. This article mainly introduces the private cloud storage solution ownCloud. OwnCloud originated from the KDE project. The earliest developer was Frank Karlitschek.

Environment Introduction <br /> To build your own cloud storage, the method is not complicated and the required environment is very common, which is a classic lamp application. To build a private cloud ownCloud, you must first build a lamp or lnmp production environment on the server.
Download and install
ownCloud is divided into community stable version and development version. We usually use the ownCloud community stable version. As of today (June 29, 2013) the latest stable version is 5.0.7. Assuming the website root directory is located in /data/www, start the installation
$ cd /data/www/default/
$ wget http://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-5.0.7.tar.bz2
$ tar -jxvf owncloud-5.0.7.tar.bz2
$ chown -R apache.apache owncloud
Then open the browser http://your.domain/owncloud and configure the database administrator account on the opened page. If you use MySQL, you need to create the database in advance.

File Sync
ownCloud has a variety of client programs available. Open: http://owncloud.org/install/ to download the corresponding client. Our need for data synchronization can be solved through simple configuration.
