Ansible Role: owncloud

An Ansible role that installs nextCloud or ownCloud on Fedora using nginx.

Requirements

For this role nginx and php have to be installed beforehand. To achieve this the following roles can be used:

  • mjanser.nginx
  • mjanser.php

If you want to MySQL or MariaDB as database, they also have to be installed first. You can use the role mjanser.mysql for that.

The installation of nextCloud and ownCloud needs to be run as the webserver user which can be an issue if you run Ansible as an unprivileged user. See Ansible documentation for more information. If you run Ansible as an unprivileged user the simplest solution is adding the following lines to you ansible.cfg:

[ssh_connection]
pipelining = True

Vendor

With the variable owncloud_vendor you can define whether to install nextCloud or ownCloud.

Server name

The variable owncloud_server_name defines the hostname which will be configured in the nginx configuration. Make sure the server is accessable from the network with this name.

Admin user

During the installation an admin user will be created. With the variables owncloud_admin_username and owncloud_admin_password you can define the credentials for it. This user can be changed or even removed later.

User backend

If you want to use a different user backend than the internal one, you can configure it with the variables owncloud_config_user_backend and owncloud_config_user_backend_argument. Please look at the corresponding documentation for more details.

Configuration

The variables prefixed with owncloud_config_ can be used to change some configuration parameters. Please look at the corresponding documentation for more details.

Apps

Apps can be enabled or disabled using the variable owncloud_apps. Be aware that those apps have to installed, this ansible role doesn't install any apps.

Version

With the variable owncloud_version you can define a specific version of nextCloud or ownCloud to install. It defaults to the respective latest stable version.

Data directory

The variable owncloud_data_directory defines the directory on the filesystem where the data will be stored.

SSL

The nginx vhost is always configured to be encrypted. By default the certificate and key are taken from /etc/pki/tls/certs/{{ owncloud_server_name }}.crt and /etc/pki/tls/private/{{ owncloud_server_name }}.key. You can override those paths with the variables owncloud_ssl_certificate and owncloud_ssl_certificate_key.

Database

The database connection can be configured with the variables prefixed by owncloud_database_. The role currently supports mysql and sqlite.

If you specify a path to a SQL file in the variable owncloud_restore_database, it will be imported when the database is created. This only works with MySQL/MariaDB.

Dependencies

None

Example Playbook

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - { role: mjanser.owncloud }
  vars:
    owncloud_ssl_certificate_key: "/etc/pki/tls/certs/example.com.crt"
    owncloud_config_defaultapp: "gallery,files"
    owncloud_config_trusted_domains: ["localhost", "example.com"]
    owncloud_apps:
      - name: files_external

Configuration

The configuration files are located in /etc/nextcloud or /etc/owncloud. The default config.php is managed by nextCloud or ownCloud itself and can be changed manually or by using the cloud tools. The file custom.config.php is managed by this ansible role and should not be changed manually.

You can also create your own configuration file in /etc/nextcloud or /etc/owncloud which overrides parameters from the other files.
