ownCloud FAQ (SynoCommunity Package)

Default Login Credentials

If you have just installed the ownCloud package from SynoCommunity, you can log in with the default credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin

For security reasons, it is recommended to change these credentials immediately after logging in.

Using the occ Command

The occ command (ownCloud console) is a powerful command-line tool that allows you to perform various administrative tasks. Follow these steps to use occ on your Synology NAS.

1. Enable SSH (if needed)

Ensure SSH is enabled on your DiskStation. If you haven't done this yet, refer to the SSH Guide for instructions.

2. Define Shortcuts

To simplify command execution, define the following shortcuts:

oc_php=/usr/local/bin/php74

For DSM 6:

oc_occ=/var/services/web/owncloud/occ
oc_usr=http

For DSM 7:

oc_occ=/var/services/web_packages/owncloud/occ
oc_usr=sc-owncloud

3. Run occ Commands

Once the shortcuts are set, you can execute an occ command as follows:

sudo -u $oc_usr $oc_php $oc_occ --version

Replace --version with any other occ command you need to run.

My Files Are Not in Sync

If your files are not updating correctly in the Files view after modifying them outside of the web interface (e.g., via WebDAV), ownCloud may not be detecting changes automatically.

To resolve this, adjust the filesystem check settings by following these steps:

1. Set Up occ

Ensure you have completed the steps in the Using the occ Command section above.

2. Enable Maintenance Mode

sudo -u $oc_usr $oc_php $oc_occ maintenance:mode --on

3. Adjust Filesystem Change Detection

sudo -u $oc_usr $oc_php $oc_occ config:system:set --type=integer filesystem_check_changes --value 1

4. Disable Maintenance Mode

sudo -u $oc_usr $oc_php $oc_occ maintenance:mode --off

This ensures that ownCloud will detect filesystem changes, keeping the Files view up to date.
