Owncloud regular maintenance using cron script

For regular owncloud maintenance cron job create '/etc/cron.hourly/owncloud-maintenance.sh' with

    #!/bin/bash
    cd /opt/owncloud-10.1.0-1/apps/owncloud/htdocs
    sudo -u daemon /opt/owncloud-10.1.0-1/php/bin/php -f cron.php

OR on newer versions use

    #!/bin/bash
    cd /opt/owncloud-10.1.0-1/apps/owncloud/htdocs
    sudo -u daemon /opt/owncloud-10.6.0-2/php/bin/php -f occ system:cron

Note in case of source based installation user name would perhaps be apache and not daemon. Also note that above example assumes bitnami stack based installation. For source based installation cd might be required to /var/www/html/owncloud folder. For large installations having several TB of data maintenance can go on for more than a day if not run frequently.

Remove deleted files from various users trashbin

To remove deleted files from trashbin of all users use:

  cd /opt/owncloud-10.0.10-4/apps/owncloud/htdocs
  sudo -u daemon /opt/owncloud-10.0.10-4/php/bin/php occ trashbin:cleanup

Remove older versions of various files

Owncloud also has in-built versioning to maintain old versions. This can use quite a lot of space. If you want to remove these old versions to reclaim space (esp. if there are fairly frequent and adequate backups), use:

  cd /opt/owncloud-10.0.10-4/apps/owncloud/htdocs
  sudo -u daemon /opt/owncloud-10.0.10-4/php/bin/php occ versions:cleanup

• https://doc.owncloud.com/server/user_manual/files/version_control.html
