What is OwnCloud?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
OwnCloud is a suite of client-server software for creating file hosting services and using them. OwnCloud is functionally very similar to the widely used Dropbox, with the primary functional difference being that OwnCloud is free and open-source, and thereby allowing anyone to install and operate it without charge on a private server. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OwnCloud

# add docker software repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release) $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
# install docker
sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose containerd.io -y

# create owncloud network
docker network create owncloud
# run the mariadb docker container
docker run -d --name mariadb --network owncloud --network-alias db -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=r00tp@ss -e MYSQL_USER=owncloud_rw -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=OwnCl0ud! -e MYSQL_DATABASE=owncloud -v /home/$USER/docker/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql --restart=unless-stopped mariadb:latest
# run the owncloud docker container
docker run -d --name owncloud --network owncloud -p 8080:80 -v /home/$USER/docker/owncloud:/var/www/html --restart=unless-stopped owncloud:latest
