OwnCloud is a neat gadget for putting your files up somewhere and getting them back in a nicer interface than the usual directory index + it has document versioning and a bunch of other features. This post is basically just a huge nginx configuration file which shows the config that works for me using a self-signed certificate.
And here she is:
server { listen 80; server_name thy.server.com; rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent; # enforce https } server { listen 443 ssl; server_name thy.server.com; ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/host.cert; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/host.key; access_log /var/log/nginx/owncloud-access.log main; error_log /var/log/nginx/owncloud-error.log info; root /var/www/owncloud; client_max_body_size 20G; # set max upload size, remember to update php.ini as well fastcgi_buffers 64 4K; rewrite ^/caldav((/|$).*)$ /remote.php/caldav$1 last; rewrite ^/carddav((/|$).*)$ /remote.php/carddav$1 last; rewrite ^/webdav((/|$).*)$ /remote.php/webdav$1 last; index index.php; error_page 403 = /core/templates/403.php; error_page 404 = /core/templates/404.php; location ~ ^/(data|config|.ht|db_structure.xml|README) { deny all; } location / { rewrite ^/.well-known/host-meta /public.php?service=host-meta last; rewrite ^/.well-known/host-meta.json /public.php?service=host-meta-json last; rewrite ^/.well-known/carddav /remote.php/carddav/ redirect; rewrite ^/.well-known/caldav /remote.php/caldav/ redirect; rewrite ^(/core/doc/[^/]+/)$ $1/index.html; try_files $uri $uri/ index.php; } location ~ ^(?<script_name>.+?.php)(?<path_info>/.*)?$ { try_files $script_name = 404; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info; fastcgi_param HTTPS on; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; } location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|ico|png|css|js|swf)$ { expires max; access_log off; } }
