Talked to Cloph about setting up a new VM and own/nextCloud, with the possibility of allowing public uploads. Will report back when we have it running.

To drive this forward - Mike, do you have means to play with an own/nextCloud instance? At least the latter one IMHO allows for anonymous uploads that can then be made available to the general public.

Not sure about when we can re-deploy our public ownCloud instance, but if we can test somehow in parallel if that would work for us, we can come up with a roadmap.

If Guilhem can provide a VM just with nginx, I am happy to share my (work in progress) Nextcloud setup documentation from my private box. Should be fully scriptale and thus SALT-able :-)

I created vm180 for this, and applied salt states ‘templates.vm’, ‘nginx’ and ‘nginx.dhparams’. I'll leave installing & configuring NextCloud to you, then :-)

I'll dig out my notes from my private setup and share with you ~tomorrow :-)

I had a look, but it seems there's no PHP-FPM installed yet. Do we have a Salt state for it? I can also install it manually, no problem.

You said you wanted only nginx :-P The relevant salt state is `php5`, which is being applied now.

Fair enough ;-)
Thanks a lot, I'll have a look tomorrow from LinuxDay or early next week
and deploy my default Nextcloud setup

Seems there's still something missing ;-)
ps auxw | grep php reveals no running PHP instance, and /etc/php/fpm or /etc/php/7.0/fpm is missing as well
Can you quickly help me out how PHP is invoked in our setup?

Oops sorry, I applied the wrong the salt state: the correct one was `php5.fpm`, not `php5`. Fixed.

No worries. :-)
I also forgot to ask for a MySQL database - can you set one up and mail
me the password?

Sorry for the back and forth, not done VM setup for quite some time :)

Sorry, forget to add a heads-up to this ticket - Nextcloud up and running (without LibO integration for the moment)
Mike now reviewing the upload story (anonymous uploads that need to be approved by an admin before download is possible)
Then we migrate existing ownCloud content and see for the LibO integration

OK, done some work on this:

• Enabled public uploads, but with hidden files
• Created dedicated user for it, for custom text on upload screen (and extra security)
• I should get emails when new files are uploaded (mail is sent out hourly)
• Plus a bit of themeing and branding

Will send an example link round in private.

Could use these to populate one of the Events folders, as an example:

https://blog.documentfoundation.org/pictures/

By tweaking the Nextcloud installation slogan, I've added links to our Impressum and Privacy Policy at the bottom:

https://vm180.documentfoundation.org/index.php/s/WWvBoxGFZofHpat

I'll talk through a couple of other infra things with Guilhem, but I think this is almost ready to go...

Excellent idea! ;-)
Let's talk about it in Monday's team call - if all is working from your
side, we can fire off IMHO.
Can you check with Guilhem that the box is in the backups?

The link to TDF-page at the bottom doesn't work right. IMO it should show to http://www.documentfoundation.org/

Is it possible to get a TDF-affiliated background at the starting page [1]?

Yes, I've added the LO motifscatter background now.

I've just sent a proper LO one to Guilhem to replace the current one.

That's not something we can change without manually poking around inside the PHP, by the looks of it. We may be able to work on a custom theme later, but for now I think we just need to get the essential branding and links (Impressum, Privacy) in place to make this work...

It wasn't, but it's now fixed :-) (Both the database and the uploaded files are now under backup.)

Thanks!

This has all been set up now, so I've created a short URL and sent it to marketing-priv@ for testing. Once we have some photos and feedback, and know it's all working well, we can go public with it.

No uploads so far, but some people have said they will upload pics. Some concerns about lack of information on the upload page -- this is hard to customise without manually editing the PHP. I'll investigate before FOSDEM and keep poking people to upload their pics from that event.

I think customizing indeed will be a problem, we can not do more than
adding a link to a wiki page explaining things

We've had one batch of uploads from a community member so I will investigate this after LO 5.3 launch. I will promote the service during and after FOSDEM so that we get more picture uploads.

Talked to Guilhem at FOSDEM about this and we may have some options for custom theming, to provide more information on the upload page, that won't be overwritten when we perform updates. Will investigate more.

IMHO this ticket is dealt with, can it be closed?

To add on that - one further ticket, installing LibO online in Nextcloud, should be setup for Q2 then; but the rest seems done?

Yes, I think it makes sense to close this and set up a new one for online collaboration.
