Re: ownCloud app.

 

Is there any reason owncloudcmd couldn't be included in the default builds? It would simplify our task enormously - at least as far as file syncing goes. Then all we need to do is write a qml app for a front-end. We can always expand on the idea later, but for now I'm thinking of something very basic. So a question for the devs here - is this possible?

Daniel, sorry I haven't been able to do more with your launchpad code - been flat out with life at the moment. Will try and have a play with it later tonight. Have you gotten contact & calendar sync working with syncevolution? Thanks for all your work, and pushing this project ahead.

Cheers,

Mitchell

Hi Mitchell,

I'm not sure about if there is a certain definition, but I'm using https for my instance. I just created a self-signed SSL certificate and added the to my Apache virtual server. There: https. So yes :)

Exactly, and I might be mistaken, but I think that there is support to store that in the online accounts service.

I agree. I don't know how Ubuntu handles that. Which levels of operation that checks the certificate.

Thanks!
Cheers,
Daniel

    Hi Daniel, I could be missing something, but owncloud does support
    https - currently that's the authentication I'm using for my own
    cloud server.

    Its still password based (meaning we need to store it somewhere),
    but it can be done over a secure (ish) connection. Would be great
    however if we're able to have some functionality to work with
    self-signed certificates - either by forcing them as default, or
    having a popup to accept them if we need to.

    Otherwise, great work!
