Hi all, So we tried to figure out what PHP modules were installed, but Snappy confounded us ;-)
SSH-ing into the Pi and typing "php" gets you command not found, same with any of the other things we know are running underneath the ownCloud which works just fine... Clearly, a 'snappy for dummies' is needed, I couldn't really find answers to my questions on the intarwebz either. I might write a blog for starters once I've learned about it :D In the mean time, looking at the code in https://github.com/kyrofa/owncloud-snap in the rolling branch (that's where our image lives for now) I can't really figure out how things work there, either. Kyle, would you be able to give a quick rundown of the repo, what file does what and where? For example, I found where ownCloud's config.php is but when I tried to see what PHP modules are included and how to modify that, I got stuck rather quickly. The only place I found PHP was in snapcraft.yaml but that seems to be sparse build instructions or so? Or does this pull in deb's from the repo? If debs, I see no php modules, in what section could we add "php- apcu"? If ok with you, I'll give you a call tomorrow to walk through this a bit and I'll try and help document it ;-) @everybody else: snappy's a brave new world, as it makes very clear the first time you log in over SSH. Go and play with it, it's fun. Then report back ;-) Cheers, Jos On zaterdag 19 maart 2016 14:43:38 CET Jos Poortvliet wrote: > On Thursday, March 17, 2016 4:11:57 PM CET Kyle Fazzari wrote: > > Hey everyone. > > > > Jos, Daniel and I have been working hard on an ownCloud Pi device > > solution based on Snappy Ubuntu Core[1].
