I've run my own ownCloud server, both on machines in my basement and out in the cloud (ie. Taking that further, ownCloud is fully open source, on both the client and server end.
OWNCLOUD REDDIT UPDATE
If you don't use their server, it doesn't contact them for anything but update checks and maybe the occasional optional crash report. You can use theirs, but you can also use a wide variety of other servers. OmniSync is a sync framework OmniGroup made that you can host on your own server if you want. You also can't use just S3, since S3 is storage, and you can't run an application on it.įrom the way you're talking about this, you might want to look into both OmniSync (from OmniGroup) and ownCloud. But you have to have an OwnCloud instance to connect to. You can access the OwnCloud instance through a web interface, or optionally you can use the desktop client to access it. Then you can connect S3/Drive/Dropbox to that server instance. But the idea is, you set up OwnCloud on your server, wherever you have it - maybe that's a VPS, maybe it's Amazon EC2, maybe it's a shared server. Although if you're willing to pay for it, the commercial version is certainly an option, and then they'll set up the server for you. The client isn't something that just by itself connects to any "cloud" service you throw at it, it's a client for OwnCloud.įirstly, make sure you're looking at, which is the FOSS part, not, their commercial arm. The client is an extension of the main part, which is the server software. The desktop client isn't the main part of OwnCloud. I think you're misunderstanding what OwnCloud is. It is your data, do what you want with it. >Share your data with others, and give them access to your latest photo galleries, your calendar, your music, or anything else you want them to see. One folder, two folders or more – get the most recent version of your files with the desktop and web client or mobile app of your choosing, at any time. >Keep your files, contacts, photo galleries, calendars and more synchronized amongst your devices. Access your data wherever you are, whenever you need it. Access them from your mobile device, your desktop, or a web browser. >Store your files, folders, contacts, photo galleries, calendars and more on a server of your choosing. Owncloud is specifically tailored for cloud storage. It's more of an "Infrastructure-as-a-service" product. OpenStack is overkill for what you're doing. Supposedly it performs better on linux but haven't tested it first hand yet to see.
OWNCLOUD REDDIT WINDOWS
It' a great open source platform although most guides out there are for linux it does work on Windows as well. If you're interested in the personal cloud. Hopefully some of the things i've done will spark some interesting or ideas on your end. Next thing i plan on doing is setting up virtual machines to test out some Linux operating systems as I don't have much experience with them. The thing I enjoyed doing the most was setting up my own personal cloud. I am listing all this stuff simply for you maybe to try some of it. I don't have any special roles installed on the 1950, but on the 2950 I have Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, Windows Deployment, and a few other ones I can't remember right now. I stream it from that server to one of the smart TV's in the house.īoth of the servers are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard flawlessly. I just have a folder shared on the network. I have two hard drives in RAID 1 (the OS drives), then I have the other four drives in RAID 5. The 2950 I use as my NAS and other stuff. The 1950 I am using as my dedicated IP camera surveillance DVR. I'll be running lots of little things I guess. With the Nginx having a wildcard SSL cert for my home domain.) Things like my subdomain to application Nginx proxy server (so: proxies out to the LibreNMS server:port.

Lastly I'll probably start to shuffle some other things I have on physical boxes into containers. Once I have the NFS server up, I'll probably spin up an OwnCloud instance and start trying to sort and organize the digital cruft from decades of backups that I have preserved on drives and discs.
OWNCLOUD REDDIT HOW TO
That's in addition to learning proxmox itself, figuring out how to make custom container templates to include things like the ldap client and configuration for my ldap authentication server, etc. So far in proxmox I've set up containers for LibreNMS for monitoring, OpenLDAP for authentication, and now will be one for an NFS server for NAS (it's always bugged me that the old Buffalo Terrastation NAS I had only did SMB shares. Well, in the last six/seven months I've been building out a nice homelab setup to get my learn on again. Despite running linux as my primary OS at home, it's been years since I'd done any actual sysadmin type work beyond hobby stuff, so I'd completely missed the virtualization train.
