Quick Guide

Introduction

This quick guide provides copy and paste commands to have an Infinite Scale instance up and running within minutes for hands on use. Read the documentation for details before you dive down and plan to deploy into production.

Using this guide will get a minimal configured environment including demo users up and running but can by nature not go into depth. Note that the binary used is based on linux-amd-64bit.

We recommend reading the Deployment section of the documentation as the next step for more information on setup and configuration possibilities.

Setup

Open a shell and copy/paste the following commands:

sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/ocis \
  https://download.owncloud.com/ocis/ocis/stable/5.0.9/ocis-5.0.9-linux-amd64

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ocis

ocis init

OCIS_INSECURE=true \
IDM_CREATE_DEMO_USERS=true \
PROXY_HTTP_ADDR=0.0.0.0:9200 \
OCIS_URL=https://localhost:9200 \
ocis server

After installing and starting Infinite Scale, you can access the web UI via https://localhost:9200

If you want to reuse an already configured minimized setup for any other address than https://localhost:9200:

When accessing the server using the hostname or IP:
- You must start Infinite Scale using the environment variable OCIS_URL=<hostname or IP>.
  See the following sections for more details and information:
  - Starting Infinite Scale With Environment Variables and
  - Configurations to Access the Web UI.
When accessing the server using a dedicated domain name:
- You must use a reverse proxy. When Infinite Scale is accessed, it forwards requests to the embedded IDP service which requires a secure connection and a domain name that matches the reverse proxy settings. See the Bare Metal Deployment with systemd for more details on using a reverse proxy setup.
