Apparently configuring ownCloud to use a MySQL database has performance benefits over using the default sqlite database. This image contains a MySQL server you can use if you so choose:

  1. On the initial ownCloud setup page, instead of clicking the "Finish Setup" button, you can click the little "Storage & database" text to expand that configuration section.
  2. Then click the "MySQL/MariaDB", and enter 'root' in the Database user field and leave the password field blank.
  3. Choose any name you like for the Database name field.
  4. The Database host filed should be left as 'localhost' if you'd like to use the mariadb server provided in this docker image.

It's also fine to configure ownCloud to use any other MySQL server you wish to here.
