Im using owncloud with davfs2 on linux. Cache size set to 15GB so nearly everything I access regularily is cached locally. unfortunately my server only has 50GB of space and I will run out of disk space with the next holiday pictures.
I'm thining of setting up an owncloud server at home (which has lots of space, but not the best upload) and use it as a file backend for my rented server. Is this already possible with ownCloud itself? Or should I try davfs2 for this again? Taking this Idea a step further I was thinking of running owncloud on the desktop. For this purpose I tried out Resin / Quercus to run php in a Java servlet container: http://www.caucho.com/projects-open-source/php-app-server- quercus/ I got owncloud running after commenting the ZipArchive check (quercus implements the zip function but not the ZipArchive class). Im currently writing a sqlite module for quercus so I could package everything together and have owncloud run on every platform that runs java. I could then chain my owncloud instance all together like this: owncloud@home: slow upload, lots of space, dyndns ip, acting as storage / backup owncloud@internet: fast access, limited storage on a rented server (~50GB space), acting as a fast cache owncloud@client: local owncloud, encrypts/decrypts files acting as cache on every machine I own that runs java (2 laptops, a desktop ... possibly android), need their password seed aligned so I can access my files from everywhere webdav@client decrypted access to the files in my owncloud This way the owncloud@client instances are under my control (I dont even need admin rights as I just start a java program that opens a port I choose for web access). Files are encrypted locally and I can store huge amounts of data. For what I want I can even make the lucene based search backend index files on the clients and store the index encrypted, without loosing to much speed. Quercus even claims to speeds up php by 400%. I can imagine owncloud provide a zip that conatins such a preconfigured client owncloud user just need to download, extract and run locally to have that functionality. This all works when owncloud can use other owncloud instances as file backends and cache files like davfs2 does. Did the sun finally melt my brain? Have I gone crazy?
