Installing ownCloud 9 on CentOS 7

We run with an external MariaDB system. So the third option

What if I want my data encrypted? Is there a option for this?

Not without ownCloud itself, that would not be the right place as they only handle the application layer. Encryption would be handled by the storage layer which is LVM and XFS here, in Linux. So a good example and, I think, the most likely candidate for this would be using LUKS to encrypt the storage layer. LUKS is very enterprise and included in Linux, so nothing third party. If you use the separate /data block device like I would recommend for production, you can encrypt that without encrypting the / filesystem making things vastly easier.

@scottalanmiller Great!
So I did create /data now how do I encrypt it?

I'm going to need to write a whole article on this. It's been a while since I did this. But I did build the encryption infrastructure for a major financial firm, so I'm used to working with it.

What about using a library or something like encfs (https://github.com/vgough/encfs) ?
I am using it on my Plex server that is connected to my Amazon Cloud Drive. It works well.

You don't want FUSE if you can avoid it. Why not use the built in system?

I was testing out a guide using EncFS to encrypt data stored on Amazon Cloud. It works, so I haven't bothered with changing it, lol.
What are the built-in options? I'm not aware of disk / partition encryption options on Linux these days.

dm-crypt is the system in the kernel. Been there since 2.6.

Just did a new internal install with this as well. Using CentOS 7, adding the REMI Repos and moved to PHP7 and added the memory cache. Also using an external MariaDB database, also on CentOS 7.

PHP 7? that is not in the normal Remi repos. That was still beta in the repo i thought.
-
I thought PHP7 was in full release, but what do I know?

When you install the REMI repos PHP7 is one of the repos that is available. It's a separate config file from the newer 5.x repos.

Full release of what?
i.e. not in beta like i mentioned because i have a bad memory.

I guess I will set that up on my personal ownCloud and see how it acts.

Oh okay, I thought that he was thinking that it was an option in RHEL 7 like Python 2 / Python 3 are in many releases.

It's pretty soon here, but so far no issues to report.

I've got 1 vCPU and 2GB of RAM right now. Will increase if needed but rather doubt it. The database is external so uses no local resources. 200GB on /data which is XFS on LVM separate from the main install. PHP 7 with the memcache. Nothing fancy other than those minor changes.
