Owncloud Installation Guide

The ScienceMesh-OwnCloud connection helps sites who run OwnCloud10 as their enterprise file sync and share system to join the ScienceMesh.

For OwnCloud 10 there is oc-sciencemesh

Addition to this documentation also, you can refer to some links in this Gitter thread, and ask your questions there. There are number of things you will need to do get this working for your site:

Enable dynamic share providers in Owncloud

Apply the reva-sharees branch to your ownCloud installation. This is necessary for OwnCloud to recognize shares of type the ‘ScienceMesh’.

Add this line into configuration file of Owncloud “config/config.php”:

‘sharing.managerFactory’ => ‘OCA\ScienceMesh\ScienceMeshProviderFactory’

Install Revad

See also https://github.com/cs3org/reva:

git clone https://github.com/cs3org/reva
cd reva
make deps
make build

Configure revad

Something like ./mesh.toml. This will probably require some experimentation. You can contact @michielbdejong in https://gitter.im/cs3org/REVA for help. See also the ocm-test-suite revad configs for examples.

Install the ScienceMesh app

In your OwnCloud apps folder, run:

git clone –depth=1 –branch review-factory https://github.com/pondersource/oc-sciencemesh sciencemesh

Enable the app in the Owncloud admin dashboard. This will cause a few necessary database tables to be created.

First use

From there on, follow the admin guide.
