ownCloud 9 Review

Federated Sharing – What’s new in ownCloud 9.0

With ownCloud 9.0 we made it even easier to exchange the Federated Cloud IDs. Below you can see the administrator setting for the new Federation App, which will be enabled by default.

The option “Add server automatically once a federated share was created successfully” is enabled by default. This means, that as soon as a user creates a federated share with another ownCloud, either as a recipient or as a sender, ownCloud will add the remote server to the list of trusted ownClouds. Additionally you can predefined a list of trusted ownClouds. While technically it is possible to use plain http I want to point out that I really recommend to use https for all federated share operations to secure your users and their data.

What does it mean that two ownClouds trust each other? ownCloud 9.0 automatically creates a internal address book which contains all users accounts. If two ownClouds trust each other they will start to synchronize their system address books. In order to synchronize the system address books and to keep them up-to-date we use the well known and widespread CardDAV protocol. After the synchronization was successful ownCloud will know all users from the trusted remote servers, including their Federated Cloud ID and their display name. The share dialog will use this information for auto-completion. This allows you to share files across friendly ownClouds without knowing more than the users name. ownCloud will automatically find the corresponding Federated Cloud ID and will suggest the user as a recipient of your share.

Time to Upgrade to ownCloud 9.0!
Why Should I Upgrade?
  1. ownCloud usage grew last year from 2.4 to 8 million so newer releases have far more users
  2. Testing improves, benefiting newer releases more than older, in part because
  3. Backporting is limited to security fixes for releases older than Latest-1
  4. Clients take advantage of features only in newer server versions
  5. We introduce features which improve reliability

Runs Linux

Maple Runs Linux

Dear Chris, I am writing to reply to your question in LAS episode 404 that Maine does in fact have WiFi. I have been working on a project at a local Sugar House to bring remote monitoring of a maple syrup operation run as a small family business.

I enjoy a lot of the content at Jupiter Broadcasting and now that I am deriving billable value from your content, I will be becoming a patron over at patreon.com. I also checked out teespring.com and found a JB polo, but unfortunately it is out of stock. If I were to find a JB, LAS, Tech SNAP, Tech Talk Today, BSD Now, or Linux Unplugged polo over there in the future, I would be sure to pick one up. Thanks for the great programming, please keep it up.
