=====================
Using the occ Command
=====================

ownCloud's ``occ`` command (ownCloud console) is ownCloud's command-line 
interface. You can perform many common server operations with ``occ``::

* Manage apps
* Manage users
* Convert the ownCloud database
* Reset passwords, including administrator passwords
* Convert the ownCloud database from SQLite to a more performant DB
* Query and change LDAP settings

``occ`` is in the :file:`owncloud/` directory; for example 
:file:`/var/www/owncloud` on Ubuntu Linux. ``occ`` is a PHP script. You must 
run 
it as your HTTP user to ensure that the correct permissions are maintained on 
your ownCloud files and directories. 

The HTTP user is different on the various Linux distributions. See the 
**Setting 
Strong Directory Permissions** section of 
:doc:`../installation/installation_wizard` to learn how to find your HTTP user.

* The HTTP user and group in Debian/Ubuntu is ``www-data``.
* The HTTP user and group in Fedora/CentOS is ``apache``.
* The HTTP user and group in Arch Linux is ``http``.
* The HTTP user in openSUSE is ``wwwrun``, and the HTTP group is ``www``.

Running it with no options lists all commands and options, like this example on 
Ubuntu::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ
 ownCloud version 8.0.3
 Usage:
  [options] command [arguments]

 Options:
  --help (-h)           Display this help message
  --quiet (-q)          Do not output any message
  --verbose (-v|vv|vvv) Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal 
                        output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
  --version (-V)        Display this application version
  --ansi                Force ANSI output
  --no-ansi             Disable ANSI output
  --no-interaction (-n) Do not ask any interactive question

 Available commands:
  check                       check dependencies of the server environment
  help                        Displays help for a command
  list                        Lists commands
  status                      show some status information
  upgrade                     run upgrade routines after installation of a new 
                              release. The release has to be installed before.

This is the same as ``sudo -u www-data php occ list``.

Run it with the ``-h`` option for syntax help::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ -h
 
Display your ownCloud version::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ -V
   ownCloud version 8.0.3
   
Query your ownCloud server status::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ status
   - installed: true
   - version: 8.0.3.4
   - versionstring: 8.0.3
   - edition: Enterprise
   
``occ`` has options, commands, and arguments. Options and arguments are 
optional, while commands are required. The syntax is::

 occ [options] command [arguments]
 
Get detailed information on individual commands with the ``help`` command, like 
this example for the ``maintenance:mode`` command::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ help maintenance:mode
   Usage:
   maintenance:mode [--on] [--off]

   Options:
   --on                  enable maintenance mode
   --off                 disable maintenance mode
   --help (-h)           Display this help message.
   --quiet (-q)          Do not output any message.
   --verbose (-v|vv|vvv) Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal 
   output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
   --version (-V)        Display this application version.
   --ansi                Force ANSI output.
   --no-ansi             Disable ANSI output.
   --no-interaction (-n) Do not ask any interactive question.

.. _apps_commands_label:

Apps Commands
-------------

The ``app`` commands list, enable, and disable apps. This lists all of your 
installed apps, and shows whether they are enabled or disabled::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ app:list
 
Enable an app::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ app:enable external
   external enabled
   
Disable an app::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ app:disable external
   external disabled   
  
Database Conversion
-------------------

The SQLite database is good for testing, and for ownCloud servers with small 
workloads, but production servers with multiple users should use MariaDB, 
MySQL, 
or PostgreSQL. You can use ``occ`` to convert from SQLite to one of these other 
databases. You need:

* Your desired database and its PHP connector installed
* The login and password of a database admin user
* The database port number, if it is a non-standard port

This is example converts to SQLite MySQL/MariaDB:: 

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ db:convert-type mysql oc_dbuser 127.0.0.1 
 oc_database

For a more detailed explanation see 
:doc:`../configuration_database/db_conversion`

Encryption
----------

When you are using encryption, you must manually migrate your encryption 
keys after upgrading your ownCloud server::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:migrate

File Operations
---------------

The ``files:scan`` command scans for new files and updates the file cache. You 
may rescan all files, per-user, a space-delimited list of users, and limit the 
search path::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ  files:scan --help
   Usage:
   files:scan [-p|--path="..."] [-q|--quiet] [--all] [user_id1] ... [user_idN]

 Arguments:
   user_id               will rescan all files of the given user(s)

 Options:
   --path (-p)           limit rescan to this path, eg. 
   --path="/alice/files/Music", the user_id is determined by the path and the 
   user_id parameter and --all are ignored
   --all                 will rescan all files of all known users

``files:cleanup`` tidies up the server's file cache by deleting all file 
entries that have no matching entries in the storage table.

l10n, Create javascript Translation Files for Apps
--------------------------------------------------

Use the ``l10n:createjs`` to translate apps into various languages, using this 
syntax::

  l10n:createjs appname language_name
  
This example converts the Activity app to Bosnian::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ l10n:createjs activity bs

These are the supported language codes, and `Codes for the Representation of 
Names of Languages

LDAP Commands
-------------

You can run the following LDAP commands with ``occ``.

Search for an LDAP user, using this syntax::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:search [--group] [--offset="..."] 
 [--limit="..."] search

This example searches for usernames that start with "rob"::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:search rob
 
Check if an LDAP user exists. This works only if the ownCloud server is 
connected to an LDAP server::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:check-user robert

``ldap:check-user`` will not run a check when it finds a disabled LDAP connection. This prevents users that exist on disabled LDAP connections from being marked as deleted. If you know for certain that the user you are searching for is not in one of the disabled connections, and exists on an active connection, use the ``--force`` option to force it to check all active LDAP connections:

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:check-user --force robert
 
``ldap:create-empty-config`` creates an empty LDAP configuration. The first 
one you create has no ``configID``, like this example::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:create-empty-config
   Created new configuration with configID ''
   
This is a holdover from the early days, when there was no option to create 
additional configurations. The second, and all subsequent, configurations 
that you create are automatically assigned IDs::
 
 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:create-empty-config
    Created new configuration with configID 's01' 
 
Then you can list and view your configurations::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config
 
And view the configuration for a single configID::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config s01
 
``ldap:delete-config [configID]`` deletes an existing LDAP configuration:: 

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:delete  s01
  Deleted configuration with configID 's01'
 
The ``ldap:set-config`` command is for manipulating configurations, like this 
example that sets search attributes::
 
 $ sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:set-config s01 ldapAttributesForUserSearch 
 "cn;givenname;sn;displayname;mail"
 
``ldap:show-remnants`` is for cleaning up the LDAP mappings table, and is 
documented in :doc:`../configuration_user/user_auth_ldap_cleanup`. 
   
Maintenance Commands
--------------------

These maintenance commands put your ownCloud server into
maintenance and single-user mode, and run repair steps during updates.

You must put your ownCloud server into maintenance mode whenever you perform an 
update or upgrade. This locks the sessions of all logged-in users, including 
administrators, and displays a status screen warning that the server is in 
maintenance mode. Users who are not already logged in cannot log in until 
maintenance mode is turned off. When you take the server out of maintenance 
mode 
logged-in users must refresh their Web browsers to continue working::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:mode --on
 $ sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:mode --off
 
Putting your ownCloud server into single-user mode allows admins to log in and 
work, but not ordinary users. This is useful for performing maintenance and 
troubleshooting on a running server::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:singleuser --on
   Single user mode enabled
   
And turn it off when you're finished::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:singleuser --off
   Single user mode disabled

The ``maintenance:repair`` command runs automatically during upgrades to clean 
up the database, so while you can run it manually there usually isn't a need 
to::
  
  $ sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:repair
     - Repair mime types
 - Repair legacy storages
 - Repair config
 - Clear asset cache after upgrade
     - Asset pipeline disabled -> nothing to do
 - Generate ETags for file where no ETag is present.
     - ETags have been fixed for 0 files/folders.
 - Clean tags and favorites
     - 0 tags for delete files have been removed.
     - 0 tag entries for deleted tags have been removed.
     - 0 tags with no entries have been removed.
 - Re-enable file app    
 
User Commands
-------------

The ``user`` commands remove users, reset passwords, display a 
simple 
report showing how many users you have, and when a user was last logged in.

You can reset any user's password, including administrators (see 
:doc:`../configuration_user/reset_admin_password`)::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ user:resetpassword layla
   Enter a new password: 
   Confirm the new password: 
   Successfully reset password for layla
  
You can delete users::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ user:delete fred
   
View a user's most recent login::   
   
 $ sudo -u www-data php occ user:lastseen layla 
   layla's last login: 09.01.2015 18:46
   
Generate a simple report that counts all users, including users on external user
authentication servers such as LDAP::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ user:report
 +------------------+----+
 | User Report      |    |
 +------------------+----+
 | Database         | 12 |
 | LDAP             | 86 |
 |                  |    |
 | total users      | 98 |
 |                  |    |
 | user directories | 2  |
 +------------------+----+
   
Upgrade Command
---------------

When you are performing an update or upgrade on your ownCloud server (see the 
Maintenance section of this manual), it is better to use ``occ`` to perform the 
database upgrade step, rather than the Web GUI, in order to avoid timeouts. PHP
scripts invoked from the Web interface are limited to 3600 seconds. In larger 
environments this may not be enough, leaving the system in an inconsistent 
state. After performing all the preliminary steps (see 
:doc:`../maintenance/upgrade`) use this command to upgrade your databases::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade

Before completing the upgrade, ownCloud first runs a simulation by 
copying all database tables to a temporary directory and then performing the 
upgrade on them, to ensure that the upgrade will complete correctly. This 
takes twice as much time, which on large installations can be many hours, so 
you can omit this step with the ``--skip-migration-test`` option::

 $ sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade --skip-migration-test

You can perform this simulation manually with the ``--dry-run`` option::
 
 $ sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade --dry-run
