ownCloud Like many other open-source projects, ownCloud provides a community and an enterprise version. The enterprise version includes features that the community version does not. For example, in the community edition, it is not possible to simple drag and drop the files from file explorer to the browser window. Furthermore, the community version does not provide access for guest users and it is not possible to integrate Microsoft Sharepoint or Windows Network Drives, or to use Single Sign On for Authentication. An overview of the differences between the editions can be found at https://owncloud.com/community-or-enterprise/. BSD users should note that ownCloud has no official support for BSD so even the enterprise support will not be helped with BSD-related questions. However, many ownCloud problems encountered during the installation or the maintenance process can be solved by looking at the ownCloud community forum or reading through the extensive user and admin guides. This article will show the necessary steps to install and maintain ownCloud on FreeBSD 11. Starting with installing the webserver, through configuring MySQL to set different parameters to harden the system. In the first step, we have to install a web server to present the ownCloud website. For our environment, Apache in version 2.4 is just working fine. Later on nginx can additionally be installed as a reverse proxy to increase the speed for handling SSL/TLS connections. Furthermore, nginx as reverse proxy really helps if your root server does only have one IP address but you want to run multiple web pages on port 80/443. In this case, nginx forwards requests for different URLs to the apache, which listens on different internal ports. (ZEICHNUNG).
