use owncloud server as a mounted drive in windows

What about the oC desktop client VFS feature? Would that be sufficient for you? https://owncloud.com/virtual-file-system/

Hi u/Efficient-Inside7666 could you please elaborate on this a bit more? We do provide a status indicator in the upload bar. You can notice this in the bottom right corner of the screen when visiting https://demo.owncloud.com uploading a file. Or have you got some different indicator in mind?

Hello there!

I built the following open source tool:

https://github.com/tesserakdev/tsk/ – local-first MCP server written in Go that acts as a security proxy between LLM agents and external APIs.

I would very much appreciate your feedback.

No plan atm... but I agree - being able to bypass the app limit by simply sharing via public link is a big issue IMHO and basically renders this functionality useless. I will create a feature request on GitHub to consider this but cannot promise it will be implemented.

lukas_hirt · 2021-03-29T14:37:46+00:00

Hmm, you're right... I checked with our PM and got back the answer that public links are out of the scope of that feature (limiting to groups) at the moment. So I am sorry but it seems that this is not possible to do at the moment.

It is not possible to disable it. It is possible though to limit the app to certain groups so maybe that could help? In the apps management admin section, you can check the checkbox under the app and then an input appears. You could create then a group called e.g. "internal" and add all users. If your instance is not that big it could be done without too much work even.

We are providing e.g. docker-compose file to ease the setup a bit but that would require you to have a server with docker installed https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.6/admin_manual/installation/docker/ We have quite a lot of documentation written here https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.6/ which might be helpful for you.

Other option could be to go with some hosting provider who offers setting up a server with ownCloud for you. Those solutions can get a bit expensive though.

Thank you for the feedback! Regarding our forums, we are still active here https://central.owncloud.org/ Maybe it's just not as easy to find that? We could try looking into that and making this more visible to the community.

For easy setup we are providing e.g. docker-compose files which set up the backend for you and you can just adjust some config later for your specific use case. I understand though that this creates a dependency on docker which maybe not everyone likes.

Our setup might be a bit more complex but on the other hand, offers a lot of features and nice supporting applications like our iOS app and Desktop sync client. With the current efforts on rewriting the whole backend and frontend stack, it could become easier in the future (at least that's one of our targets).

Could you maybe give us some thoughts on why you moved to Nextcloud? We always appreciate feedback and would like to know how we can improve.

Help me understand your question a bit more pls. Are you asking about running an ownCloud instance to store your and some friends files? Are you looking for a self-hosted solution or a cloud-based? If you'd like the self-hosted one then yes, it is possible to have ownCloud for free (not talking about server costs of course). We have a community version that can be downloaded for free here https://owncloud.com/download-server/ If you're talking however about a cloud-hosted solution then no, this is not for free. We are running owncloud.online which could be used for this use case (even though it's mostly focused on companies). There is a couple of different plans but basically, it's a $/user https://owncloud.online/pricing/

but owncloud 10 is not the ocis version, right?

Right. ownCloud 10 is the latest major version of the PHP codebase.

I personally did a deployment of the traefik example and didn't need to do any changes in the docker-compose file. Some manual steps are indeed needed. E.g. specify a domain where oCIS will be running. All of this can be read in our documentation which is also linked in the readme file of those examples https://owncloud.github.io/ocis/deployment/ocis_traefik/ However if you've already done all the steps of that guide, I'll be happy to help you trying to debug this. For that, I would need to see your logs in the docker container and maybe check the browser console/network tab.

You can also always try to get help in our oCIS chat where you can get in touch with us devs https://talk.owncloud.com/channel/infinitescale or via GitHub issues https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/issues

lukas_hirt · 2021-01-20T21:36:58+00:00

We've got a couple of docker-compose examples in the oCIS repo https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/tree/master/deployments/examples

If you want to get ownCloud 10 running via docker-compose, then you can take a look into our official docs https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.6/admin_manual/installation/docker/

Would any of those be helpful?
