Theoretically, 1000+ users will work but it might slow everything down dramatically. Maybe you could install ownCloud and create 1000 users and tell us how it goes? As far as sharing the load between multiple computers we've never tested that, either. I don't have any experience with it but there are ways to make apache use the resources of multiple computers, I think. So, what you're talking about sounds possible but somebody would need to test it and fix any issues that come up in that scenario. Would you like to be that person?areichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669533456129039480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139315666359046098.post-11034212407156037542011-06-28T09:05:28.657-07:002011-06-28T09:05:28.657-07:00@areichman

You can use ownCloud on multiple computers or have multiple different users on one ownCloud installation. But ownCloud itself only runs on one computer (unless you have a special setup of some kind that does load sharing). Let me know if that answers your question or if I missed something.areichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669533456129039480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139315666359046098.post-6704287872936387432011-06-27T14:57:40.559-07:002011-06-27T14:57:40.559-07:00OwnCloud can scale to various PC ?OwnCloud can scale to various PC ?Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598754410890655888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139315666359046098.post-43214522797707463742011-06-23T01:48:28.290-07:002011-06-23T01:48:28.290-07:00sounds interesting.

I have looked at owncloud 1.0, and then installed 1.1 i believe, however it was still not in a useful enough state to be better than simply ftp'ing or ssh'ing or fish'ing to my directory and working from there. However, with the inclusion of a word processor -- everything changes!

It would lower the barrier to entry somewhat but I think to truly make it easy for everybody we need either a device that people just plug in and start using with minimal setup or a free hosting service. There's a thread right now on the mailing list about a hosting company that might be interested in doing ownCloud hosting but we need to figure out what sort of bandwith/memory requirements we have first and even then, there are no guarantees it will happen. Feel free to chime in on the mailing list (owncloud @ the standard kde mailing list domain).areichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669533456129039480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139315666359046098.post-58708950922973038752011-06-22T09:28:50.427-07:002011-06-22T09:28:50.427-07:00@jospoortvliet

If you want local caching I believe it has to be done in the kio webdav slave. I don't know about other people but the idea of rewriting a webdav library when we already have a great one in kio doesn't sound very appealing.<br /><br />On the flip side, for those systems that don't have native webdav support (usually mobile platforms like Android, webOS, etc.) it's on our list of things to do. As soon as those apps make it into a more usable state I'll write another blog post about them.areichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669533456129039480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139315666359046098.post-68387342591134770202011-06-22T07:59:33.627-07:002011-06-22T07:59:33.627-07:00@areichman.
