  • PHP 7.2 standard installable, but you have to install some mandatory modules yourself, like intl.
Note

  • Oracle 11g is only supported for the Enterprise edition.

  • SQLite is not encouraged for production use.

Mobile

  • Android 4.0+

Web Browser

  • Edge (current version on Windows 10)

  • IE11+ (except Compatibility Mode)

  • Firefox 57+ or 52 ESR

Client Versions

Here are the oldest versions of the Desktop Client, Android app and iOS app supported with the latest server release:

  • Desktop Client 2.3.3

  • Android App

  • iOS App

Alternative (But Unsupported) Options

If you are not able to use one or more of the above tools, the following options are also available.

Web Server

  • NGINX with PHP-FPM

Memory Requirements

Memory requirements for running an ownCloud server are greatly variable, depending on the numbers of users and files, and volume of server activity. ownCloud officially requires a minimum of 128MB RAM. But, we recommend a minimum of 512MB.

Note
Consideration for low memory environments

Scanning of files is committed internally in 10k files chunks. Based on tests, server memory usage for scanning greater than 10k files uses about 75MB of additional memory.

Database Requirements

The following are currently required if you’re running ownCloud together with a MySQL or MariaDB database:

  • Disabled or BINLOG_FORMAT = MIXED or BINLOG_FORMAT = ROW configured Binary Logging (See: db-binlog-label)

  • InnoDB storage engine (The MyISAM storage engine is not supported, see: db-storage-engine-label)

  • “READ COMMITED” transaction isolation level (See: db-transaction-label)
