Owncloud

Deploy OwnCloud on Akash Network

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to deploy OwnCloud on Akash.

Prerequisites

• Installed Akash CLI
• An Akash wallet with sufficient funds

Step 1: Create the SDL (Stack Definition Language) File

Create a file named deploy.yaml and add the following content:

version: "2.0"
services:
  owncloud:
    image: owncloud/server:10.15.2
    expose:
      - port: 8080
        as: 80
        to:
          - global: true
    env:
      - OWNCLOUD_TRUSTED_DOMAINS=*
      - OWNCLOUD_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
      - OWNCLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD=adminpassword
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_TYPE=sqlite
profiles:
  compute:
    owncloud:
      resources:
        cpu:
          units: 1.0
        memory:
          size: 2Gi
        storage:
          size: 10Gi
  placement:
    provider-services:
      pricing:
        owncloud:
          denom: uakt
          amount: 1000
deployment:
  owncloud:
    provider-services:
      profile: owncloud
      count: 1

Step 2: Deploy on Akash

1. Create a deployment
   Run the following command to create a deployment:

   provider-services tx deployment create deploy.yaml --from <your-wallet-name> --chain-id <provider-services-chain-id> --node <provider-services-node>

2. Query the deployment status

   provider-services query market lease list --owner <your-wallet-address>

   Identify the lease_id from the output and use it to get lease details:

   provider-services query market lease get --owner <your-wallet-address> --dseq <deployment-sequence-number>

3. Get the provider’s IP address
   Once the lease is active, get the provider’s endpoint:

   provider-services provider service-status --provider <provider-address> --dseq <deployment-sequence-number>

4. Access OwnCloud
   Navigate to http://<provider-ip> in your browser and log in using the credentials specified in deploy.yaml.

Step 3: Manage and Update OwnCloud

• To update OwnCloud, modify deploy.yaml and redeploy.
• Ensure database storage persists across updates by using an external database instead of SQLite.
• Regularly back up important data.

Conclusion

You have successfully deployed OwnCloud on Akash! You can now use it as a self-hosted cloud storage solution.
