Latest owncloud client are packaged as AppImage. They can be installed using:

  1. (Optionally) Changed the gnome desktop display to "Standard (X11 Display manager)" from "Standard (Wayland)". This is not mandatory for owncloud to work on Rocky 9.2 onwards.
  2. Check for latest release of AppImageLauncher from https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/releases Install using something similar to 
    dnf -y install https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/releases/download/v2.2.0/appimagelauncher-2.2.0-travis995.0f91801.x86_64.rpm
  3. Go to https://owncloud.com/desktop-app/ and see the version / link of latest AppImage. Version 4.0.0 is linked in below steps. This can be replaced with other version appropriately
  4. As local (not ssh -X) graphical login for non-root user do 
    cd ~
    

    wget https://download.owncloud.com/desktop/ownCloud/stable/4.0.0.10896/linux-appimage/ownCloud-4.0.0.10896-x86_64.AppImage
    

    chmod +x ownCloud-4.0.0.10896-x86_64.AppImage
    

    ./ownCloud-4.0.0.10896-x86_64.AppImage
    Add the application to AppLauncher and allow it to be moved ~/Applications folder
  5. Now we can launch owncloud from activities launcher directly
  6. Do not try to sync local cache with server. It mostly does not works. Delete local folder (Assuming no unsaved changes) and download everything from server once for any new installation.
  7. Edit '~/.config/autostart/ownCloud.desktop' which might get created automatically and append '/usr/bin/AppImageLauncher' in Exec line to have: 
    [Desktop Entry]
Name=ownCloud
GenericName=File Synchronizer
Exec=/usr/bin/AppImageLauncher /home/saurabh/Applications/ownCloud-2.11.1.8438_ea6e60c86079a0631cafa30f477eddd4.AppImage
Terminal=false
Icon=owncloud
Categories=Network
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=10
  8. Must do below to stop owncloud from overwriting this on every lauch 
    sudo chattr +ia ~/.config/autostart/ownCloud.desktop
    

    sudo lsattr ~/.config/autostart/ownCloud.desktop
