Owncloud disk crashed, data is safe, how to set up a new server
Our Owncloud server's disk crashed, beyond repair. All the data is stored on mounted disks (RAID-1), and these seem intact. I have to confess that we don't have a backup of the configuration, as far as I can tell.
Is there a way to safely re-create an Owncloud server using existing data disks on Linux?

This depends what is on that disks that are not dead. If this includes all data directories and, most importantly, the Mysql/Postgresql database, you should have not lost anything except the time to setup a new instance and get stuff working again.
If this doesn't include the database, you are in a bad situation, as you have lost all management information and things like application data (e.g. addressbooks and calender entries). You are still not totally screwed, as at least the actual data files should be present if Owncloud indeed stored that on the still alive disks. There will be directories for every user and group containing the last state of every file, and you can use those to reimport everything into a new instance.

Yes, all data directories and the database are there. I updated the question with a screenshot. Is there a description somewhere how to set up the new instance and connect it to the data?
