Owncloud cannot be installed on Raspbian 10 (buster)

[Markus Robert Kessler]

Hi all,

just wondering how some people here managed to install NextCloud -- in my
default repo set (for Raspbian 10 / buster) I cannot even find it.

So I tried to install OwnCloud instead, but there are several packages
missing, too:

apt-get install owncloud
leads to complaining about not installable / missing

- libjs-jcrop
- php5, hence:
- php-assetic
- php-opencloud
- php5-mysql
- php-crypt-blowfish

and so on.

Is there an additional repo which has to be enabled first?

Thanks for any idea,
best regards,

Markus

Using Docker, The Dockerhub image owncloud/server appears to work fine
from buster. i.e. The web site starts.

Personally I use Syncthing, again under Docker.

I did have a look at how Docker installed owncloud but they appear to do
this from a tar file, which they presumably build locally from git.

I can give you links how to install docker and run if you are interested.

Probably using the install procedure on the Nextcloud web site. I’m going
to give it a go myself in the next couple of weeks. I, too, would prefer a
packaged solution, but . . .

The ownCloud packages that come with Raspbian have been horribly out of
date for ages (I mean, PHP 5? Really?). I have no idea why they’re even
still included with Buster.

Instructions to get proof of concept Owncloud running on port 8072

-----
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker pi
sudo systemctl reboot
docker run -d -p 8072:8080 owncloud/server
-----

or replace owncloud/server with nextcloud on port 8075
docker run -d -p 8075:8080 nextcloud

Takes about 10-15 minutes, tested on buster raspbian lite.

Perhaps they now put all their effort in the docker image, which AIUI is
bang up to date. 10.3.2(stable) when I pulled it a couple of days ago.
