- <h1>Setting up ownCloud</h1>
- <p>Day 00275: Monday, 2015 December 07</p>
- </header>
- <p>
- I went to install ownCloud today, but it seems to have a dependency on Apache.
- The package information says that ownCloud can use either the <a href="apt:apache2"><code>apache2</code></a> or <a href="apt:httpd"><code>httpd</code></a>.
- <code>httpd</code> is a virtual package provided by the <code>apache2</code> package, but it is also provided the <a href="apt:nginx-full"><code>nginx-full</code></a> package, which I installed yesterday.
- Theoretically, Aptitude should not have tried to install Apache.
- In any case, it seemed that I would need to set up Apache if I was to use ownCloud for the time being.
- </p>
- <p>
- Yesterday, <a href="https://wowana.me/">wowaname</a> talked about the importance of running every onion website on a different port to prevent spoofing attacks that make use of the host name header.
- As such, I set NGINX up on a nonstandard port and set Tor to direct port 443 connections to this other port.
- Knowing that NGINX was running on a nonstandard port so Apache would not clash with it, I reinstalled Apache.
- Somehow, Apache functioned correctly using the same configuration files that were not working yesterday.
- I have no idea what could have possibly have changed.
- The only issue came when I tried to configure Apache to use the port that Tor is redirecting connections to.
- I had forgotten that NGINX was still bound to this port.
- After shutting NGINX down, Apache bound to the port correctly and everything is running fine.
- Why could it not have been this easy yesterday?
- </p>
- <p>
- I decided to set up ownCloud's database the easy way, so I tried to install phpMyAdmin.
- I ran into difficulties when setting it up though.
- The install scripts from the phpMyAdmin package wanted to set up phpMyAdmin's database, but it kept failing to connect to the local database server.
- Eventually, I located the issue: while phpMyAdmin requires a local instance of MySQL in order to function, it does not depend on the MySQL server package.
- </p>
- <p>
- I found out that every <abbr title="The Onion Router">Tor</abbr> relay node can be looked up online.
- My node should be listed, but for whatever reason, <a href="https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/0581BFCBE8DDE10719870F19AB08AA515253F485">it is not</a>.
- I restarted my relay while debugging, so it might mess with the uptime stat, but everything on my end looks fine.
- The error log says <q>Dec 07 19:14:35.000 [notice] Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside.
- Excellent.
- Publishing server descriptor.</q>, so my relay should be reachable from the outside world.
- </p>
- <p>
- My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
