Today ownCloud is the best cloud storage and useful alternative to Dropbox or other file-hosting services. it free open source software and allowing you to have own cloud server in your home.

I previously wrote about step by step installing ownCloud 5 in ubuntu server 12.10. In this brief guide i will shown you Owncloud server 5 work with SSL/Https Connection.

Step by Step Configure OwnCloud Server 5 with SSL Connection

Step 1: Make sure ownCloud server 5 is installed correctly, you can see guide how to install ownCloud 5 here, Login to ubuntu server via ssh then switch to root mode.

sudo -i

Step 2: Editing file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, change “AllowOverride None” to “AllowOverride All”

nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Step 3. you need to enable apache module mod_rewrite, mod_headers and mod_ssl, to enable both module use following command:

a2enmod rewrite && a2enmod headers && a2enmod ssl

Restart apache2 daemon:

service apache2 restart

Step 4. On this step you need to editing file configuration /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf,

nano /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

Find and change the following line:

dir = /root/SSLCertAuth
default_days = 3650 # 10 years
default_bits = 2048 # recommended by NSA until 2030
countryName_default = US
0.organizationName_default = Ubuntu Contrib

Step 5. Create Directory for save all file SSL Certificate Authority, on this case I will make directory name “SSLCertAuth”

mkdir /root/SSLCertAuth

chmod 700 /root/SSLCertAuth

cd /root/SSLCertAuth

mkdir certs private newcerts

echo 1000 > serial

touch index.txt

Step 6. Run the following command to generating Certificate Authority (CA)

openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -extensions v3_ca \
-keyout private/cakey.pem -out cacert.pem \
-config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

Output:

If you want to keep the default value, Hit [enter]

Step 7. Creating Certificate Signing Request

openssl req -new -nodes \
 -out apache-req.pem \
 -keyout private/apache-key.pem \
 -config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

Output:

Step 8. Generate the certificate then copy the files to directory /etc/ssl :

openssl ca \
-config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf \
-out apache-cert.pem \
-infiles apache-req.pem

output:

mkdir /etc/ssl/crt
mkdir /etc/ssl/key
cp /root/SSLCertAuth/apache-cert.pem /etc/ssl/crt
cp /root/SSLCertAuth/private/apache-key.pem /etc/ssl/key

Step 9. This final step W’ll to Configure HTTPS apache2 web server, create directory SSL log and create new file /etc/apache2/conf.d/owncloud5-ssl.conf to add the SSL virtualhost.

mkdir/var/www/logs

nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/owncloud5-ssl.conf

copy and paste this configuration:


      ServerName 192.168.1.5
      SSLEngine on
      SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/apache-cert.pem
      SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/key/apache-key.pem
      DocumentRoot /var/www/owncloud
      CustomLog /var/www/logs/ssl-access_log combined
      ErrorLog /var/www/logs/ssl-error_log

Note: on this case my IP server 192.168.1.5, you can replace IP with your server hostname or domain

service apache2 restart

you now have secured, access owncloud using your favorite browser by typing on addressbar https://192.168.1.5 , it will appear like following screenshot

Manual Disk Partitioning Guide for Ubuntu Server Edition

ncode — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 04:07:57 +0000

This guide will explain how to partitioning a harddrive manually in ubuntu server edition (ubuntu server 12.04/12.10/13.04). By default installation of Ubuntu Server edition the installer creates just two partitions; the first for (/ ) the root partition, and the second for Swap partition . If you want creating partitions for installing Ubuntu Server edition, I recommend to create the following four partitions on your ubuntu server hardrive.

root partition (/). The bulk of the programs used for running the system will be installed here.
boot partition (/boot). This is where programs critical for booting the system will reside.
home partition (/home) the partition where your home directory will be located. In the course of using the system, files and folders you create will reside in various folders here
swap partition (swap):unformatted disk space for use as virtual memory. swap partition should be at least as big as your RAM size,

This is screenshot step by step manual disk partioning of ubuntu server edition with following partition table:

Hardisk : 32GB
RAM: 1GB

Type	Size	Location	FileSystem	Mount
Primary	20 GB	Beginning	ext4	/
Primary	200 MB	Beginning	ext4	/boot
Logical	10 GB	End	ext4	/home
Primary	2 GB	Beginning	swap	swap

Step 1: Choose the manual partitioning method at the bottom.

Step 2: Choose harddrive you are planning to install ubuntu server and hit enter

Step 3: If you have selected an hardisk to be partitioned for Ubuntu server. Answer [Yes] to create new empty partition table to the hard disk.

Step 4: In this step we’ll create root partition (/), Select a free space to create new partition.

Step 5: Create boot partition (/boot)

Step 6: Create home partition (/home)

Step 7: Create swap partition (swap)

Step 8: This is the final step for manual partitioning process , Answer [yes] to Write all changes to hardrive,]

So that’s it. I hope you know what you are doing in the next step, thanks

How to Setup Nagios 3.4.4 Network Monitoring On Ubuntu Server 12.04/12.10

ncode — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 05:18:30 +0000

This guide will shown you how to installing latest version of nagios 3.4.4 on Ubuntu Server 12.04/12.10. Nagios is free and open source tool with GPL License allowing to control and monitor the items and services on a network. When it detects a problem it sends alert messages, either by mail or by other techniques.

Step by Step Installing and Configure Nagios 3.4.4 in Ubuntu Server 12.04/12.10

Step 1. Before installing Nagios 3.4.4 on Ubuntu Server 12.04/12.10, make sure your Ubuntu Server is up to date. Enter the following commands one by one, and install any available updates:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Step 2. Install Apache 2, PHP5, GCC ( development libraries and compilation), GD ( development libraries) on other package

sudo apt-get install build-essential apache2 php5-gd wget libgd2-xpm libgd2-xpm-dev libapache2-mod-php5 libssl-dev

Step 3. Create users and groups for Nagios:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/nagios /var/nagios

sudo groupadd --system --gid 9000 nagios

sudo groupadd --system --gid 9001 nagcmd

sudo adduser --system --gid 9000 --home /usr/local/nagios nagios

sudo usermod --groups nagcmd nagios

sudo usermod --append --groups nagcmd www-data

sudo chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios /etc/nagios /var/nagios

Step 4. Download the source code of both compressed Nagios and the Nagios plugins (visit http://www.nagios.org/download/ for links to the latest versions). At time of writing, the latest versions of Nagios 3.4.4 and the Nagios plugins 1.4.16

cd /usr/local/src/

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/nagios-3.x/nagios-3.4.4/nagios-3.4.4.tar.gz

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/files/nagiosplug/1.4.16/nagios-plugins-1.4.16.tar.gz

Step 5. Extract, Compile and Install source of nagios 3.4.4

sudo tar -xzvf /usr/local/src/nagios-3.4.4.tar.gz

cd /usr/local/src/nagios

sudo ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-command-group=nagcmd --with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl --enable-perl-modules --with-mail=/usr/bin/sendemail

sudo make all

sudo make install

sudo make install-init

sudo make install-config

sudo make install-commandmode

Step 6. Edit file /etc/objects/contacts.cfg to change the email address that is associated with nagiosadmin contact with the email address where you want to be alerted.

sudo nano /etc/objects/contacts.cfg

Example:

define contact{
               contact_name   nagiosadmin ;
               use            generic-contact ;
               alias          Ubuntu Precise ;
               email          admin@ubuntuprecise.net ;
}

Step 7. Edit file /etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg to change both sendemail references to match the correct sendemail syntax:

sudo nano /etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg

define command{
 command_name notify-host-by-email
 command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/sendemail -s srv-mail:25 -f "admin " -t $CONTACTEMAIL$ -u "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **"
}
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/sendemail -s srv-mail:25 -f "admin " -t $CONTACTEMAIL$ -u "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
}

Step 7. Now we need to configure Nagios to access it via web interface.

Install the web configuration file in the Apache conf.d directory:

cd /usr/local/src/nagios

sudo make install-webconf

Create password for Account nagiosadmin to enter the Nagios web interface. Remember the password you assign to this account – you will need it later. then restart apache2 daemon

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Edit file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add the following line:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.cgi

Step 8. Check your Nagios 3.4.4 configuration file for errors by typing following command. Look for errors in red

sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Step 9. Extract, Compile and install Nagios Plugins 1.4.16

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagiosplug/nagios-plugins-1.4.16.tar.gz

sudo tar -zxvf /usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.16.tar.gz

cd /usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.16

sudo ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios

sudo make

sudo make install

Step 10. Set Nagios is started whenever the system boots up, then restart nagios daemon

sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f nagios defaults 99

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rcS.d/S99nagios

sudo /etc/init.d/nagios restart

If all goes well, we should now be able to enter a Web browser to access Nagios administrator panel. Open a web browser and enter:

http://domain/nagios/

We ask for the username (nagiosadmin) with the password you have chosen in step 7. If all went well you should see the home page of Nagios Administrator Panel

 // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
 // to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
 // ports to talk. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
 // If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
 // nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
 // Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
 // the all-0's placeholder.
 forwarders {
            8.8.8.8;
    };
    auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
    listen-on-v6 { any; };
};

Step 1. Login using SSH or Login Directly into ubuntu server 12.10. Before installing Openfire server, make sure your system is up to date. Enter the following commands, one by one, and install any available updates:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2. Install latest version of Oracle JRE/JDK, use personal package archieve (PPA) WEBUPD8 to install it.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

If you are using OpenJDK, remove it to minimise any Java conflicts

sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk*

Then install Oracle Java 7 version with following command

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

Step 3. Install MySql Database server

Install latest version MySQL server using apt-get

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Step 4. Create new MySQL database for Openfire

sudo mysql -u root p

Create the database “dbopenfire”, add new user “openfire” and add new password “openfirepwd” for user “openfire”.

mysql> CREATE DATABASE dbopenfire CHARACTER SET='utf8';
mysql> CREATE USER 'openfire'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'openfirepwd';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbopenfire.* TO openfire@localhost WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit

Step 5. Download and Install openfire 3.7.1

Download deb. package of Openfire 3.7.1 from ignite realtime download page

cd /tmp

wget http://download.igniterealtime.org/openfire/openfire_3.7.1_all.deb

Install openfire_3.7.1_all.deb with dpkg command:

sudo dpkg -i openfire_3.7.1_all.deb

(Reading database ... 85791 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace openfire 3.6.4 (using openfire_3.7.1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement openfire ...
Setting up openfire (3.7.1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/openfire/security/truststore ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/openfire ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot

Ignore all installation errors regarding user and folder permissions.it cause depending on your version of JRE/JDK, Now you need to editing file /etc/init/d/openfire in line 27. Replace java-6-sun with java-6-oracle or java-7-oracle.

sudo apt-get install rpl

sudo rpl '6-sun' '7-oracle' /etc/init.d/openfire

sudo service openfire start

Step 6. Allow ports for Openfire

You need to setup firewall and allow some ports for openfire on ubuntu server, use ufw command to set firewall openfire

sudo ufw allow 9090/tcp
sudo ufw allow 9091/tcp
sudo ufw allow 5222/tcp
sudo ufw allow 7777/tcp
sudo ufw allow 7443/tcp
sudo ufw allow 7070/tcp
sudo ufw allow 3478/tcp
sudo ufw allow 3479/tcp

This completes the initial installation steps for Openfire. Next, we’ll continue with configuration through a web browser

Step 7. Configuring Openfire Server

Configuring Openfire is very easy and can be completed in just a couple of steps. Here’s how to configure Openfire:

From computer in your network open your favorite browser and go to :

http://mydomain:9090/setup/index.jsp

Replace mydomain above with your FQDN or IP address of your ubuntu server. The webpage shown below appears:

Step 8. Download and Install IM client for Linux, Windows and Mac OSX

You need to download install IM/VOIP client software on all PC/Laptop to connect with the Openfire server. You can install any IM client that uses the XMPP/Jabber protocol for example the excellent Pidgin, it available for Linux Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OSX. for Ubuntu users pidgin can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Center.

sudo apt-get install pidgin

If you have done install pidgin,Make sure that you select XMPP

The native cross plaform client for Openfire is Spark, it also available for Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. Download spark from Igniterealtime Download Page, and install it on ubuntu desktop edition (Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 11.10, ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10)

wget http://download.igniterealtime.org/spark/spark_2_6_3.tar.gz

tar -zxvf spark_2_6_3.tar.gz

sudo mkdir /opt/spark

sudo mv Spark/* /opt/spark/

Create a desktop launcher file, Open terminal and run following command

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/spark.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Spark
Version=2.6.3
GenericName=Spark
X-GNOME-FullName=Spark
Comment=ignite realtime Spark IM client
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Utility;
Path=/opt/spark
Exec=/bin/bash Spark
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/opt/spark/logo-spark.png
TargetEnvironment=Unity

sudo cd /opt/spark

sudo wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50880014/spark.png

Primary	8192 MB	Beginning	swap	swap
Logical	25 GB	End	btrfs	/cache-1
Logical	25 GB	End	btrfs	/cache-2
Logical	25 GB	End	btrfs	/cache-3
Logical	25 GB	End	btrfs	/cache-4
Logical	25 GB	End	btrfs	/cache-5
Logical	46 GB	End	ext4	/home
Logical	5 GB	End	ext4	/opt
Logical	5 GB	End	ext4	/srv
Logical	5 GB	End	ext4	/tmp
Logical	5 GB	End	ext4	/usr
Logical	5 GB	End	ext4	/usr/local
