OwnCloud decided to develop a completely new product a few months ago. In the meantime, there are already the first beta versions of the new OwnCloud with the name oCIS. oCIS stands for ownCloud Infinite Scale and should make clear that this cloud solution should be very scalable.

Newly, it is sufficient to start a single container with oCIS, which already contains all the necessary dependencies. So no database and no further containers are necessary to self-host oCIS.

In the following I would like to show you a setup how I run oCIS with Traefik as reverse proxy on my own server since the release of the first tech previews.

oCIS - ownCloud Infinite Scale with Docker and Traefik

Preparation

Info

If you don’t have docker installed yet, you can find instructions for Ubuntu or Debian. This Guide uses docker compose to run Traefik, therefore its necessary to install the latest docker version available.

Please also make sure that you already have Traefik installed on your server. If you haven’t done that yet, you can find a step by step guide here.

In this tutorial we assume that you have already started traefik.

oCIS environment config

mkdir -p /opt/containers/ocis
vim /opt/containers/ocis/.env

# Setting to allow non-https traffic between traefik and ocis
INSECURE=true
### oCIS settings ###
# oCIS version. Defaults to "latest"
OCIS_DOCKER_TAG=
# Domain of oCIS, where you can find the frontend. Defaults to "ocis.owncloud.test"
OCIS_DOMAIN=ocis.yourdomain.tld
# oCIS admin user password. Defaults to "admin".
ADMIN_PASSWORD=klPPHGEPIaudZmhDgT6JiZlJv6lzmtpXwNuNyNBDtg
# The demo users should not be created on a production instance
# because their passwords are public. Defaults to "false".
DEMO_USERS=false

OCIS-DOMAIN and ADMIN_PASSWORD should be changed with your own domain and password.

docker-compose.yml for oCIS

vim /opt/containers/ocis/docker-compose.yml

Run oCIS with our config

cd /opt/containers/ocis/
docker compose up -d

ocis-docker-traefik-setup

After a few seconds you will be able to access your fresh oCIS Cloud with your domain name (ex. ocis.yourdomain.tld). Please make sure to access your site with https:// otherwise traefik will show a 404 error.

For the login you just use the user admin and the password we defined in the .env with ADMIN_PASSWORD.
