Do you backup your cloud servers?

@aaronstuder Done.

@wrx7m Thanks!

Is anyone using the applications method for owncloud deployment, or are you all just using a Linux instance and installing owncloud manually?

Manually because I want CentOS 7

So a few thoughts on that...
- I would never use any of these application installation methods from any vendor for production.
- Using these methods is great if you just quickly want to fire up an instance, see how it works and see how it performance to test.
- After the threads about how nothing is supported, security is completely misunderstood and ownCloud thinks that we are "way too serious" about their product in the last two hours, you would consider deploying it new?
Jared and I have both stopped recommending them as of an hour ago. We've locked their threads until ownCloud corporate confirms that their rep isn't a saboteur that they have fired recently and NTG already had a talk and management approved leaving ownCloud because we can't trust they anymore.
-
@aaronstuder I also noticed the parenthetical beta displayed in the description.

Which is both the "recommended" ownCloud OS and simultaneously "so old it is out of support" and apparently only crazy insecure people use it.

What are you moving to? There are no good alternatives.
-
@scottalanmiller Are you referring to Owncloud or CentOS 6 being insecure?
NM - I see the answer is, unfortunately, OwnCloud. -
This is some crazy sh!t.

NM - I see the answer is, unfortunately, OwnCloud.Yeah, ownCloud is no longer something I would be confident using. At least not at the moment. We've asked corporate to step in and clarify things. But this is really, really bad for them. I don't see them recovering from this one.

I've used Seafile, and tried out Pydio. They were ok. I haven't tried syncthing or any of the others though.
Seafile seemed to sync super fast.
-
ownCloud corporate IS stepping in. Hold tight till tomorrow, I'm trying to get "people in a room" to discuss.
-
@scottalanmiller I'll bring some popcorn.

In the meantime, CentOS 7 works fine but we have lots of questions around "is it supported" and I have a feeling that OpenSuse Tumbleweed will work better.
-
I will hang tight until we can get to the bottom of the, "should I even use OwnCloud" debacle.

I put up a CentOS 7 How To a few hours ago. For the moment going to keep working on an OpenSuse one, we will see how things go.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah, thanks. I saw that one then saw this thread.

Backups are stored in the same datacenter as the original instance on a separate fault tolerant storage system.

Not quite the backup I was hoping for
-
Different Storage = Good
Same Datacenter = Bad.
