Hey Kyle, We've been playing with the box at the Chemnitzer Linux Tage conf. A few things we noticed: * it's ownCloud 8.2.2, any chance we can get it to 9.0? * it has some issues, like with images previews and some other things, I am guessing (no, I know) some PHP modules are missing. Would be good to add those, we're currently trying to figure out which ones are missing. Snappy is new for us so that might take a bit ;-) Aside from that, we have performance work to do but honestly, it's not that bad. And just adding caching (apc) will already make a huge difference so I'm quite optimistic... And there's lots more on https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/admin_manual/configuration_server/performance_tuning.html we can do, so anybody on this list should feel very welcome to look over that and do a pull request that implements one or more of them ;-) We have to send a 'final' image to WD on Monday so any help is welcome! Seriously, if you got a pi drive earlier this year (or end of last year) - or not but want to help anyway - this is the time to help test and improve! > [1]: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/ > > -- > Kyle Fazzari (kyrofa) > Software Engineer > Canonical Ltd. > k...@canonical.com > >
