Show HN: ownCloud-ready image for RaspberryPi based on Raspbian

Thank you very much for this owncloud-ready image! Unfortunately, this confirmed that OwnCloud has a problem with accentuated characters and Mac OS X (and that my custom installations of OwnCloud where not at fault).<p>Any upload from a Mac of a file or folder with German or French accents hangs (doesn&#x27;t matter if done thru web drag&#x27;n drop or client software). The file is actually uploaded if one leaves enough time. But one need to kill the process (e.g. force quit the page), as OwnCloud doesn&#x27;t recognize the end of the process.<p>As per what I have read, it seems Mac OS has a different handling of UTF-8 (the rest is too technical for me).<p>I am sure this image will be very helpful for many people (it took literally 1 minute to setup, instead of an hour for a complicated install from scratch). But for someone dealing with non English language and Mac OS X, it seems OwnCloud still has a problem unfortunately. To me, this is still a no go unfortunately (either for me as a private person, or as a potential solution for my SMB).

Is ownCloud &quot;ready&quot; for use in an SMB environment?<p>I have a customer network it would be perfect in (I think): ~15 users, spread across two buildings in two cities with typical broadband connections. There&#x27;s a definite need to be able to share files between the two offices but Windows filesharing... well, sucks. E-mail ends up being the medium used 95% of the time.<p>The current plan is to get everyone on the same Windows&#x2F;AD domain, put in a fileserver at each site and use DFS to take care of everything behind the scenes.<p>It seems like ownCloud could be a viable candidate to replace that, with the added benefits of giving folks access to their data while out of the office&#x2F;on the road&#x2F;travelling&#x2F;etc.

My experience with using ownCloud on Raspberry Pi was a painful one of ridiculous waiting times and occasional crashes. Admittedly I did no optimisation at all, just defaults. How much performance can one expect out of this?

For an alternative cheap, easy owncloud deployment you could use Docker on a low end VPS for a few bucks a month: <a href="https://github.com/Joeboy/dockerfiles" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Joeboy&#x2F;dockerfiles</a>

Its fairly insane to use a setup like PHP under Apache that is slow even on fast hardware on a Pi. At least use something that performs ok, like OpenResty say...
