![]() Https: apache 2.2 (the std version for Debian) OS: Debian, 7.4 (PPC) fresh install on entire hard driveĭB: mysql 5.5 (the std version for Debian) Perhaps not as a long term solution, but as a learning/testing machine it could work fine. I came to think of buying a used G4 Mac Mini – they are really cheap! Then I came to think of my old Titanium PowerBook G4 that has been gathering dust last year, and I decided to try running ownCloud on it. What device to put ownCloud on? A new nice QNAP (TS-221) is quite pricy, and a Raspberry Pi accesses both disk and network over its USB bus. Ok – the QNAP has a 500MHz ARM, but even worse, just 128MB of RAM and quite slow disk access. Horrible performance – it took a minute to log in. So, I installed ownCloud (6.0.2) on my QNAP TS 109 running Debian (7.4). If I host myself several hundreds of GB of disk is no problem. It is like Dropbox, but I can run it myself, and it works not only for files, but also for contacts/calenders and smartphones.īuying ownCloud as a service is possible, but as soon as I want to put my pictures (and perhaps some video and music) it gets pretty expensive. So, how am I going to share my files among different computers and devices? Ubuntu announced that they will cancel the Ubuntu One service, and Condoleezza Rice will start working for Dropbox. Update : Tried FastCGI/mod-fcgid, see below. I anyway keep my original article below (on upload performance), but I find the performance quite acceptable for my real-world application, on my not so powerful hardware. If it does so for a good reason, and download is reasonably fast, I can live with it. I suspect the SQL communication/overhead is limiting upload performance, and that ownCloud keeps a lot of book keeping in the database. When downloading, top shows mostly idle time. When uploading files, top shows mostly waiting time. At about 10% CPU load, the server can saturate my 10MBit/s internet connection, when I download my files to another computer, over https. Update : I have found that downloading files is quite fast. Update : Upgrading to ownCloud 7.0.1 has not changed the performance of the platform at all. Installing ownCloud client from external repository worked fine. This proves nothing of course, but at least it seems promising. After the upgrade the same folder took 19 seconds to sync. I did a very quick and unscientific performance check: before upgrading I uploaded a folder (17 files, 4.1 MB) to ownCloud: it took 30 seconds (for the desktop client to complete syncing). Logged in, no traces of the three 3rd-party apps. Anyway, the server did not come up, so I ran the command again: I am a little surprised, because I don’t remember calendar, contacts and documents being 3rd party apps before (?). OwnCloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are availableĮxception: App does not provide an info.xml file I did the upgrade in one step (7.0.4 to 8.1.1, not via intermediate versions).I don’t use https/ssl (I am behind an openvpn server).Today I upgraded from 7.0.4 to 8.1.1 following the standard instructions. ![]() I am running ownCloud on a Debian machine with Mysql and I have been a little behind with upgrading it.
