ownCloud File Sync and Share on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by ProvenCloud

ownCloud on Azure, ready in minutes. Deploy the virtual machine, open its public IP address in a browser and you are ready to go. There is no installer to run and nothing to configure.

ownCloud is a well-established open source platform for file sync and share. It gives your team a private place to store files and share them by link or with other users, reachable from a browser, the desktop sync apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, or the mobile apps for Android and iOS. This image gives businesses, schools and IT teams a working ownCloud server in minutes, with no installer to run and no database to create.

Why teams choose this image

• Your files on your own server: sync with the ownCloud desktop and mobile apps, share files and folders by link with passwords and expiry dates, and keep data outside the web root.
• No shared default password: every VM sets its own passwords from its own VM ID on first boot, so no two customers share a login.
• Up to date: every component is on its latest stable release and the image carries all Ubuntu 24.04 LTS security updates, with nothing pending.
• Supports Trusted Launch with Secure Boot and vTPM. No build-time SSH keys or shell history are left in the image.

What is included

• ownCloud 10.16.3
• Apache with PHP 7.4 (the version ownCloud 10 requires, with security updates)
• MySQL 8.0
• Data folder kept outside the web root
• phpMyAdmin and Webmin 2.670
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched

Getting started

Open http://<vm-public-ip>/owncloud and sign in as admin with your VM ID (Azure portal > the virtual machine > Properties > VM ID). phpMyAdmin (/phpmyadmin, user root) and Webmin (port 8000, user admin) use the same password.

Ports opened for you: SSH 22 and 80, 8000. For production, limit admin ports to your own IP address and add your domain with an SSL certificate. Step-by-step guide: provencloud.io/catalog/azure-owncloud-server-ubuntu-24-04
