This is an amazing tool that as of now (May 1 2020) is getting amazingly fast development.

As with most things of this sort the prices will soon appear and it will become a paid product

Install

Configure

Make sure you have a big directory outside of www AND that the directory is web-writeable and mounted at boot.

Update

This can now(since 17) be done via the gui.

Older versions need

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/next.msgcnx/updater/updater.phar

Tricks

Syncing Files

  • This very important in the self hosted world. How do we put and get files outside of the app itself.
  • This can easily be done though you need root access.
  • Use rsync or similar to sync or copy programs right into the directories.
  • Then you need to run an occ (OwnCloudCommand) program with php to rescan for files. Then it will add all the files to the database.

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/mir.next.msgvte/occ --verbose --unscanned files:scan --all

  • -u will specify the user
  • php runs the current version of php.
  • --verbose or -V tell you more as it happens.
  • --unscanned will only check what has not been scanned. HUGE time savings.
  • files:scan is the actual command or program that runs.

Maintenance Mode

You can turn it on and off with the following command.
