Re: Automatically synchronize data between devices

 

sorry just found this

if you get a terminal and type

sudo ifconfig

that will give you the IP address of the machine and be reachable on that aswell :)

also use the PPA i put on the instructions for the client and the external address that you get from ifconfig ;)

this will work internally, you would either need fixed IP or dydns and port forward on the router for external sync ;)

Well, thanks to you, I've already got further than I did the whole of yesterday!
I appear to be in to OwnCloud on 127.0.0.1/owncloud. :)

A couple of things though - if you don't mind...

Do I need to download the desktop client from the Software Centre?

and

I followed your suggestion of
sudo chown wwww-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud
but the Terminal came back with
chown: invalid user: ‘wwww-data:www-data’

Thanks for all your help

ill double check the owncloud one over the weekend while i setup my partners new BQ and make sure that flows right and post them both out :)

own cloud server if your installing on ubuntu add the following ppa to get a good working secure owncloud

https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud

and if you want a good working client on the desktop for ubuntu use this ppa

https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=isv:ownCloud:desktop&package=owncloud-client

Works for me

good luck

That would get cool if you could do a how to. I just started looking in to OwnCloud. You can spin your own on your own server, can't you? Would I use OpenVPN to get to it? How do you keep yours secure?

Ubuntu one was there but thats gone that would have been perfect
Im using owncloud for contacts, calendar and documents
But its a fiddly job but can provide a good how to next week with my prey how to if that helps But a integrated GUI for cloud with gui is what the system is lacking on
like the others come out of the box and offer the service
So if you can get a owncloud up i can give instructions for the rest
and it works perfect been using it for over a year now :)

I think it was mentioned before that it is planned to have some kind of a cloud service integrated on the phone. This means you can sync files to any cloud service you like. Not sure though if there's already work done for that and if we'll see it soon.

Hi there,

is there a solution around that allows me to sync all my files, or just selected folders, of my home directory across various Ubuntu devices? Ideally (as an option), when I'm on WiFi or LAN only, not
broadband.


No.

Frustrating, isn't it? The combination of app confinement and lifecycle management means you can only sync directories your confined app can see, when the screen is on and the app is in the foreground.
