Hi Johannes, we strongly suggest to run only released version of ownCloud in a serious production environment. If you are a bit more adventurous than you can also install alpha and beta versions. But I strongly suggest to not use git master unless you are a developer or you want to help with QR because this can break at any time and could even eat your data.
