Owncloud
Description
ownCloud is a self-hosted file sync and share server. It provides access to your data through a web interface, sync clients or WebDAV while providing a platform to view, sync and share across devices easily — all under your control. ownCloud’s open architecture is extensible via a simple but powerful API for applications and plugins and it works with any storage.
For the description of the whole system hosted by Cesnet, try DU CESNET pages.

Usage
Upcoming modulesystem change alert!
Due to large number of applications and their versions it is not practical to keep them explicitly listed at our wiki pages. Therefore an upgrade of modulefiles is underway. A feature of this upgrade will be the existence of default module for every application. This default choice does not need version number and it will load some (usually latest) version.
You can test the new version now by adding a line
source /cvmfs/software.metacentrum.cz/modulefiles/5.1.0/loadmodules
to your script before loading a module. Then, you can list all versions of owncloud and load default version of owncloud as
module avail owncloud/ # list available modules module load owncloud # load (default) module
If you wish to keep up to the current system, it is still possible. Simply list all modules by
module avail owncloud
and choose explicit version you want to use.
use example
To use the program for synchronizing tmp directory in your home use the commands:
touch .exclude owncloudcmd --user OWNCLOUD_CLIENT_USERNAME --exclude ./.exclude $HOME/tmp https://owncloud.cesnet.cz/remote.php/webdav/SYNC_DIRECTORY
where
- OWNCLOUD_CLIENT_USERNAME – see Desktop client section on DU support pages.
- exclude file – you should provide the some file, even empty. Current owncloud version won't allow you to connect otherwise
- for $HOME variable consult the Frontend page (every frontend and cluster has different home directory)
- SYNC_DIRECTORY is some directory on Owncloud server. Choose the one you want to synchronize
