How to use occ commands on a Shared Hosting without SSH access

rakekniven · January 26, 2019, 4:09pm

This app is deprecated and not usable for Nextcloud version newer than NC v18

I have a test instance of NC15 on a Shared Hosting.
Works pretty well, but after the last major upgrade I got warning about missing db indices and others.

I have no shell access for that instance.

Some days ago I discovered the App “OCC Web”. See

https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/occweb

Enable this app and type your commands.
Help is integrated.

Screenshot:

Disable it afterwards and you are done.

No need for SSH.

Great!

Tested on Hetzner and 1und1.

btw. Repeating (history) is available. Cool

Thanks a lot, this is a great app!
Even with ssh available I would use it because now I can manage occ commands in the backend as long as the cloud isn’t in maintenance mode.

Seeing all the power in that app makes me feel bad about security :-/
You can do a lot of bad things.

IMHO you have to force 2FA for admins after having such a powerful in App Store.

Any other opinions regarding security?

Hey,

the author of OCC Web made an update and now your are ready to use it for NC 18 as well.

My concern with this app is if there are any potential attack vectors for a regular user or an attacker without logging in.

I suppose you could disable the app and enable only when needed though.

I do not just disable it. I delete it if not needed.

As written, install the OCC Web app to get access to the console

Witzker · February 8, 2020, 5:57pm

THX for help
App Installed and can open it in NC 18.0.1 RC1
what’s next

Try to execute the occ command. If it succeeds, you can try to run db:add-missing-indices (on your own risk ).

Great THX

there is another message:

Can You Pls Help again?

I think you cannot run the mentioned command in a hosted environment without shell access, because it need to be run in “offline” (maintenance) mode. I would recommend to contact the support of your hoster and ask them to run the command on your database or if you’ve e.g. phpmyadmin available you can try to modify the table settings manually.

Witzker · February 8, 2020, 6:52pm

I have seen it somewhere at 1und1 interface

I’m confused which database I have used for Nextcloud
Where can I see the name of the database in Nextcloud?

In System there si only:
grafik

I started new Thread because it seems that its not possible to be solved with OCC Commands (it needs to be run in “offline” (maintenance) mode)

Witzker · February 9, 2020, 7:11am

NO!

It worked
grafik

Great tool!

Witzker · February 9, 2020, 7:13am

Can one or more from this also be solved with Web OCC

I tried: grafik

What can I do?
Is there a download for this App?, where to put it for installation?

“Strict-Transport-Header” is a web server related setting. Please use the search function of the forum for further details.
“PHP-Memory-Cache”, like Redis, need to be installed on your system. Please check the provided installation tool of your provider how to install it and the Nextcloud documentation on how to configure it.
“PHP-Opcache”, like the Zend extension, need to be installed on your system. Please check the provided installation tool of your provider how to install it and the Nextcloud documentation on how to configure it.
“php-imagick” is not a Nextcloud, but a system program. Please check the provided installation tool of your provider how to install it and the Nextcloud documentation on how to configure it.

Can something be done with the other messages?

Witzker · February 9, 2020, 9:24am

Where to check?
Is really nobody in the forum who has hosted installation on 1und1 and knows the steps?

Franky1 · February 19, 2020, 12:06pm

I recommend calling the support hotline of your hoster for all the php related stuff.
I assume, that in the default installation, some php modules are missing and you cannot install them with cPanel or similar.
Ask them, if they can help you and maybe install the missing php modules.
Or they can give you some hints, how you can do this on your own.

If this is not possible by your hoster or they don’t want to do this, you have to decide wether you can live with this limitations or you need a Nextcloud installation on your own vps/dedicated server with full root access…

The author of the OCC WebApp does not longer support Nextcloud versions higher 19. Is there any possibility to run the OCC comands like the files scan without having SSH access on a shared hosting?

Does anybody have more information?
