What went wrong? And what did you end up using instead, and how did it handle the previous what went wrong better?


here are my experiences w/ owncloud.

settings: deployment behind a nginx, ldap login for the users.

rolling oc out was a nightmare. we tried several major releases, every time hoping things will be different.

both requirements caused a lot of trouble, we run into a lot of documented but unfixed bugs. they were often closed with the comment: ldap subsystem will be rewritten.

i thing we tested three times, each time a new major version. each time there was a new ldap system, but it was still broken.
