"ownCloud on QNAP": add information how to switch to https

[workflowsguy]

WHAT Needs to be Documented?

A section on how to switch the default "http" access to the ownCloud installation to "https"

WHERE Does This Need To Be Documented (Link)?

ownCloud on QNAP

WHY Should This Change Be Made?

The ownCloud 10 server docker image that is provided through the QNAP app store is configured to be accessed through a "http" url.
This is not only unsafe, but also CalDAV and CardDAV services can not be accessed via "http" on Apple devices.

Neither QNAP nor ownCloud currently provide any information on how to configure Apache and/or ownCloud to switch the access to "https"

Thanks for raising this issue!

Did you install this https://www.qnap.com/de-de/app_center/con_show.php?op=showone&internalName=owncloudv10&version=10.0.10.1&qts=5.0.0&seq=92&os=qts app?

If yes, were not the maintainers of it.

But we are currently in the process of publishing an app maintained by us. It will be available in the QNAP app store soon. That's also why we have this QNAP specific admin section online already.

You can try out our app by downloading it from here: https://github.com/owncloud/qnap-packaging/releases/tag/v10.8.0.0

You can access ownCloud on your QNAP device (with our app) by either http or https (just like the QNAP web UI).

Yes.

I was not aware of this. The app appeared in the QNAP store shortly after the partnership between QNAP and ownCloud was announced, so I thought this is the "official" one.

This is great to hear. So no extra configuration of QNAP's web server is necessary?

Thanks,

No additional config needed, it also works with QNAP SSL certificates if you have them. You can find ownCloud on https://<ip-of-your-nas>/owncloud but the app also will create an icon on your homescreen which leads you there. (If you are using the QNAP web interface via http, ownCloud will also open in the http variant, in my case `http://:8080/owncloud)
