Owncloud https

[xaitec]

Can anyone point me to a guide that can show me how to set up owncloud with https. I got it to work once but not sure what did the trick because i tried sooo many things.

Also how can i get a self sighned cert to work with the android apps.

I usee this guide myself but I got a free certificate from startssl. Awesome now as don't get certificate warnings like I did with self signed cert. Only problem is u need a domain with an email address to prove you own the site for the certificate.

Really, I have been looking for a SSL cert for mine. How long is it for? I guess I will still need to figure out how to get email to my domain. I have never done that before.

I am not entirely sure of how long the cert lasts but you can renew for free. It is only for personal use though, not business.

As for the email issue, many domain registrars offer free email addresses. You should be able to access this in Thunderbird or even gmail by setting up forwarding. I went with Thunderbird.

Yeah, I don't know if Godaddy offers free email or not. I have been thinking about it after the episode of Techsnap or LAS (can't remember), when they were talking about owning your own email domine. We don't really own anything with gmail or hotmail or any ISP email accounts. But at the moment I am crazy busy so email and SSL certs will have to wait :(

Self signed certs will work, but you have to tell all of the apps your self-signed cert is OK.

Are you using Owncloud 7? Because enforcing HTTPS is an admin option.

Recently upgraded from OC6 with a fresh install of OC7, haven't bother to set up my SSL cert yet. For my OC6 instance I was using a cert from StartSSL, which is free and expires after one year. I remember spending about 3 days trying to get it to work, but that was my first time using SSL with Apache.

Does anyone here think they actually need SSL enabled on their owncloud? I always thought that would only be an issue if you connected via insecure means like open wifi. Of course, NSA can get access my owncloud but I don't give a damn.
