What are /r/owncloud's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You could sign up for a dynamic DNS service like freedns.afraid.org . They have a simple scheduled wget script to keep the DNS record up to date. They have examples on how to set that up.

For additional security I also suggest finding an inexpensive ssl certificate so you can use HTTPS.

Edit: changed words for clarity.

Did you Google it? Tons of results and tutorials. Google "how to move ownCloud storage directory".

Does not look like there is something for owncloud, but maybe this is something you could try:

> wallabag is a self hostable application for saving web pages. Unlike other services, wallabag is free (as in freedom) and open source.

> With this application you will not miss content anymore. Click, save, read it when you want. It saves the content you select so that you can read it when you have time.

See the blog and documentation - this is correct. The upgrade process can be done either via the web interface or manually from the command line. To do it via the web UI you first have to take it out of maintenance mode. But it is recommended to do it from the command line...

And yes, it'd be nice to give openSUSE equal love in the documentation. The good news is that it is insanely easy to add this to the documentation and if you're willing to help out with that, that would be nice. See https://github.com/owncloud/documentation and the gif file showing what to do here: https://owncloud.org/contribute

It takes less than 5 minutes ;-)

Yeah, the ownCloud Client has to be newer than 1.9 or so to work with the latest ownCloud server. You might have to move to a newer Ubuntu version... There's a problem with Linux distributions in this regard: https://owncloud.org/blog/linux-distributions-and-open-source-projects/

oC 8.1 ends Windows Sever support :-(

You'll have to stick with 8.0.4 if you want to stay on Windows unless someone steps up to fix some of the bugs they had with Windows. https://owncloud.org/blog/owncloud-server-8-1-will-not-support-windows-as-server-platform-natively/

Another thing - it might be in PHP-fpm and then this can help.

Honestly this is a REAL pita in PHP, I never ever know where to find whatever is blocking the max upload size as it can be in so many places :(

I host everything including my ownCloud stuff at linode.com. I use the $20 monthly plan. what I look in a web hosting provider is availability, and speed. and Linode has been good so far.. check it out https://www.linode.com/pricing

To access the server from outside your local network you'll need to forward ports 80 (http) and 443 (https) through your router. Look here if you need help port forwarding. Once you do that, you just need to point your browser/client to your external IP address. You can find out your home IP by typing "my ip" into most search engines while connected to your home network. This IP address can change, however, which is why you may want to look into buying a domain name. You can get one from a registrar like Namecheap. Namecheap offers free DDNS services, which means that you can have your domain name redirect to your home IP address and run a program on your server that will keep it updated as your IP address changes.

I would highly recommend enabling SSL/TLS on your server. You can get a free SSL/TLS certificate through the Let's Encrypt project. Hope this helps!

The others said it pretty much already. Have a look at tools like http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ (based on rsync). I let it run every night to do an encrypted delta-backup to a remote server. In case the owncloud data folder would suddenly go blank and backed up, nothing would get lost.

Hmm, SuSe hasn't existed for some time now. Actually, it never existed: it was SuSE before (and S.u.S.E before that). It's just SUSE now, for over a decade actually. Might want to get with the times and save yourself the work on your shift finger ;)

What does "it almost always stops working" mean? Can you provide more technical details of what goes wrong? You might want to consult the sidebar which has links to the ownCloud support resources: https://owncloud.org/support I'd probably start with the ownCloud forums or mailinglist.

Just published my upgrade blog: https://owncloud.org/blog/time-to-upgrade-to-owncloud-9-0/

Your case is tough, though, you'll have to upgrade through all intermediate releases, as said before. Be sure to back up especially your database before you start! Also, go through the latest versions in each major release - so not 8.0.0 but 8.0.12 or something. See https://owncloud.org/changelog for downloads. And read their upgrade documentation and release notes...

It's better to try and keep up with ownCloud releases, btw ;-)

actually not sure if Ubuntu offers packages at all - Greegkman has likely the packages from download.owncloud.org and they might not have been updated yet.

Wait a bit - it's all coming, soon I'll put out a blog about upgrading, too, it will be on https://owncloud.org/blog/time-to-upgrade-to-owncloud-9-0/ and should be there in under an hour ;-)

Depends on the version you upgraded too - see https://owncloud.org/blog/owncloud-8-2-2-8-1-5-8-0-10-and-7-0-12-here-with-sharing-ldap-fixes/

Our packages now leave a server in maintenance mode, no longer running the upgrade automatically. See the blog for reasons.

Hi there, you may also check all of the OwnCloud Recommended Web Hosting Providers. We have the privilege to be listed there because of the specially optimized shared environment: OwnCloud Providers

I would really suggest that you install owncloud 8.1. There are many bugfixes, perforamnce improvements and feature improvements since 7.0

However as stated on https://owncloud.org/blog/owncloud-server-8-1-will-not-support-windows-as-server-platform-natively/ windows server is no longer supported and you would have to run it inside a VM. But in the end I think it will improve your experince a lot!

ownCloud encryption is often misunderstood. It is a means to protect your data when you have data on remote storages. For example you mount your google drive in ownCloud and want to make sure google can't see your files.

See the blog post about encryption in owncloud: https://owncloud.org/blog/how-owncloud-uses-encryption-to-protect-your-data/

This has indeed been the main focus point for this release - scalability and performance. We've worked with both CERN and the TU Berlin specifically on data loss with very large numbers of files and users accessing and modifying them at the same time. If you have a installation with over 100K users, enable the experimental File Locking feature - it's meant to deal with this.

Otherwise, I recommend to give this release a try if you performance was your main gripe. Be sure to go over the documentation and set it up properly for scalability and performance, though. See https://owncloud.org/faq/#scaling

There have been some recent performance improvements in ownCloud 8 (see https://owncloud.org/blog/blackfire-io-and-recent-performance-optimizations-in-owncloud/ ) and ownCloud 8.1 will have much more performance work.

By the way, if anybody here has some experience optimizing database behavior, help on http://github.com/owncloud/core is welcome - the database handling seems to be our biggest bottlneck at the moment.

Note that this is not considered a valid thread since it requires the attacker to already have access to the machine, by the time that's the case there are greater things to worry about such as an attacker modifying the encryption code.

And for anyone wanting to use the "fix" suggested by the author (https://senderek.ie/wee/cloud/wee-owncloud.php) as a solution against this attack vector. I wouldn't advice anyone to run that code on a production server as it suffers from issues such as

• Command injection
• XSS
• CSRF
