ownCloud 5.0.10-027 Synology package

08.25.2013, 27 Comments, Allgemein, Download / Release Notes, ownCloud on Synology DS, by .

This package still includes the update routines from 5.0.6 or below but also from the last package so you can update from any 5.x.x version to this one directly.

I have included a .htaccess file in the data folder because of BFGs post. It works fine for me.

Dropbox folder is up to date, repo will be as well.

Have fun with it, Eric.

ownCloud 5.0.9 Synology package – finally ;)

08.14.2013, 15 Comments, Allgemein, Download / Release Notes, ownCloud on Synology DS, by .

I made it =)

So again the guide to stay out of trouble:

  • Don’t update via Package center update button!
  • Backup your owncloud files and Databases!
  • Install my new package
  1. Download the new package from my dropbox folder Edit: Or from the repo: In DSM open Package Center -> Community and install my new package (be sure it’s not the one from synocommunity). Even if there is an update button at your ownCloud package, DO NOT PRESS IT! – You can skip point 2. now.
  2. In DSM go to the Package Center->Manual Install->select the downloaded package
  3. Install it to the same volume the old package is installed to.
  4. Any old ownCloud version is transferred to the new one.  All old package files will be deleted (which is basically deleting the files to show the old package in package center)
  5. Access ownCloud as before via http(s)://your-nas-ip/owncloud
  6. You’re Welcome ;)

You have to do this only once, further updates should work like before with one press of a button.

If you haven’t installed owncloud before you are free to choose an install volume.

Please tell me if it works for you. I do my best but I am not responsible for any data you lose or any damage this might cause.

ownclod infos

There are some good and some bad news:

The good one is: I found a way you don’t have to change anything, just install my new package and you are good to go

The bad one is: The package is still not ready and I accidentally deleted the whole /var folder on my DSM which contains so much important files, that I have to reinstall the whole DSM. It is a nice chance to test the new DSM4.3 beta but costs much time…

I do everything I can but you might have to wait until tomorrow.

Stay tuned, Eric

Attention ownCloud users!

Edit: The new package isn’t ready, yet. But I am still working on it. It will be online tomorrow!

 

Today Matthieu from the German Synology Forum informed me, that there are serious issues with updating ownCloud these days.
You might be affected as well if you have installed the syno-community repo and the cphub.net which I use.
The trouble is, that as you might know there is another ownCloud package maintained by synocommunity which is named owncloud as well. Unfortunately DSM doesn’t care from which source the package is and displays the update button under at my package even if it is theirs.

I made a new package containing ownClous 5.0.9 and renamed the internal package name (not the displayed name) and the install directory to owncloud-eg. This should provide issues with further versions.

So how do I prevent the Data loss?

  1. The quick and dirty way
  2. Back up all of you data (You should always do this periodically!)
  3. Do not install the update via the automatic package center update!
  4. Download my new package and install it manually.
  5. All your data should be migrated from the old package to the new as usual.
  6. Delete the old version (in most cases 5.0.6) manually.

You can now access your owncloud installation at http://your-NAS-ip/owncloud-eg/. (The

From now on you can install further updates without fears.

In my opinion they should have renamed their package from start, because the have to know that there is another package. What is the first thing you do, when you start developing something? Look if there is something similar already! And they must have found this blog even by typing “owncloud” and “synology” into google many results lead to this blog. This doesn’t mean that they don’t have the right to develop their own package, quite the contrary. The community lives from the variety of different developments and developers. But either they have done a very poor research or they have caused this on purpose. If they want to use the name “owncloud” as their package name, they can. But they could have told me before, not because of me (the package name really doesn’t matter as it is not displayed anywhere), but because of you, having troubles now.

Another problem is that even if you haven’t installed the syno-community repo, you have to install the new package manually once, because there will be no update button until you installed this version.

I don’t know how long this problem existed now and I am sorry for the circumstances, but I wasn’t aware of this unitil today and hope you haven’t had any troubles. For the future: Always read my realease news before installing a new version of ownCloud. In most cases it doen’t make a difference but sometimes there are issues like this one.

 

 

 

AFK… I’ll be back

08.10.2013, 4 Comments, Allgemein, Misc, by .

As you might have noticed I haven’t been around here for a while now.
This is because I am working on my Bachelor Thesis besides going to work. So my days are long at the moment and there is almost no spare time left and if I’m lucky to get some I’m not going to spend it at the Computer as well.
This will change in a month or two, when my Thesis is done, I still have plans for tutorials and new features for ownCloud and Subsonic and will publish a few arduino projects I have been working on. Until then: please be patient I will be back as soon as I can.
Sorry for any trouble this might cause, Eric
