This quick tutorial will help you run the OwnCloud with NginX and PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 14.04.
- Add the necessary repo to /etc/apt/sources.list:
[bash]# nginx stable
deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ trusty nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ trusty nginx
# nginx mainline
deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ trusty nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ trusty nginx[/bash] - Update system:
[bash]apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade[/bash] - Install nginx:
[bash]apt-get install nginx[/bash]
- Install dependencies for owncloud:
[bash]apt-get install acl at-spi2-core ca-certificates-java colord cpp cpp-4.8 dbus-x11 dconf-gsettings-backend dconf-service default-jre default-jre-headless desktop-file-utils dictionaries-common

- Change php and nginx configurations for large file processing: Change max_execution_time in /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini, client_body_buffer_size in nginx.conf file, and remember to change .user.ini file in owncloud root folder to overcome 513MB limit which is set by owncloud.
- Create database and user for owncloud:
[bash]su postgres #switch to postgres user
psql template1
template1=# create user cloud with password ‘YOURPASSWORD’;
template1=# create database cloud template template0 encoding ‘UNICODE’;
template1=# alter database cloud owner to cloud;
template1=# grant all privileges on database cloud to cloud;
template1=# \q
$ exit[/bash] - Download and move owncloud to www folder:
[bash]cd /tmp
wget https://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-8.0.0.tar.bz2
tar jxvf owncloud-8.0.0.tar.bz2
mv owncloud /var/www/owncloud[/bash] - Modify nginx main configuration file as follows:
[bash]nano -wc /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
##Configuration file might be as follows:
user www-data;
worker_processes 4; # Set this to your number of CPUserror_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;events {
worker_connections 1024;
use epoll;
}http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main ‘$remote_addr – $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" ‘
‘$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ‘
‘"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"’;#access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
access_log off;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_comp_level 2;
gzip_min_length 1000;
gzip_buffers 4 32k;
gzip_types text/plain application/x-javascript text/xml text/css application/xml;include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
upstream php-handler {
server unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}}
[/bash]. Then, create a new configuration file for owncloud (in my case, I use https so remember to copy your certificate to /etc/ssl/nginx/):
[bash]mkdir /etc/nginx/conf.d
nano -wc /etc/nginx/conf.d/cloud.conf
### Configuration file is as follows
server {
listen 80;
server_name DOMAIN.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; # enforce https
}server {
listen 443 ssl spdy; # Activate SPDY for SSL connections
server_name DOMAIN.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.key;ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
# Path to the root of your installation
root /var/www/owncloud/;client_max_body_size 10G; # set max upload size
fastcgi_buffers 64 4K;
client_body_buffer_size 2M;

access_log off;
}}[/bash]
- Remember to change the owner of the owncloud folder to www-data user:
[bash]chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud[/bash]
- Continue installing on the web interface. Remember to select PostgreSQL for database and enter the above configuration.
- Done.
