ownCloud Infinite Scale

@jodumont I guess I’m more concerned with finding something that mimics the experience as well as the result.

@necrevistonnezr yes.

@jodumont biggest drawback is still the absence of an iOS app

thank for pointing it out, while I'm essentially using Android and Linux I prefer choosing solution which support a broader kind of OS (Windows/MacOS/IOS).

I saw you are in Computer Engineer
you might want to read about how the CERN use ownCloud
they really pushed the limit of ownCloud (before Nextcloud appear)

One thing I’m hoping Infinite Scale will do is make it more affordable for us as a small business to run our own cloud server, by way of better efficiency and performance. Sounds like that’s on the cards.

But the competition on this front is peer-to-peer, such as Resilio and Anytype.io

@christiaan I am also very much hoping that in comparison to Nextcloud, they stick to the use-case of file syncing and do that well. This I find is still a bit lacking out there.

I've been repeatedly told that this is indeed what they want to do

[christiaan]

Is it time?

@christiaan this still seems to be the php version in those release tarballs

[christiaan]

@nebulon my mistake, I should have posted this link to 1.0.0:
https://owncloud.github.io/ocis/getting-started/

[fbartels]

The 10.6 version of the php server can also optionally install the new web ui.

[nebulon]

I have locally checked the go version and it appears to work (since it is go it is essentially a single binary, which is very nice) However it looks like to some early version with no settings and very limited features, also I couldn't figure out how to sync from the desktop or so.

I guess we have to give this a bit more time to settle, but looks very promising already.

[christiaan]

@nebulon okay, yes, they're calling it a Tech Preview. With any luck they'll have something ready for production this quarter.

@nebulon Do you have a Repo where you set it up to run on Cloudron? I tried to make a package and encountered this error when starting it:

[nebulon]

@atrilahiji I don't have a repo or Cloudron package yet, just ran it for testing locally to see roughly in which state it is.

[christiaan]

There's a Docker image for their latest 1.5 release, although it's still a tech preview:

I'm working on this but my biggest frustration thus far has been the way they seem to touch every damn part of the filesystem and there appears to be no easy way to configure everything to work out of /app/data or /app/code.

Has anyone else taken a crack at this or would like to collab? Repo here: https://git.atrilahiji.dev/atrilahiji/cloudron-ocis-app

Calling all @appdev

Made a issue on their git: https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/issues/2021

[christiaan]

@atrilahiji how's it going with that? Any progress?

[A Former User]

@christiaan nope got frustrated and moved on to other apps. Definitely still want to see it work though.

[marcusquinn]

Curious to test this too.
