I would be interested in using it as a headless client for synchronising the files (this becomes particularly useful when local LAN synch becomes available, since all the local clients can get in-sync, and then the headless client on the NAS is 'always-on' updating the UbunutuOne servers) unfortunately my NAS is in storage at the moment, so I shall be tackling this for a while :( > If you want to use the NAS as a server for Ubuntu One file syncing, we > have not released the file server code but you could implement the > server side of https://launchpad.net/ubuntuone-storage-protocol. > > If you are more interested in CouchDB document replication (contacts, > gwibber, bookmarks) than the file syncing, things are considerably > easier: Look into desktopcouch-tools package for the couchdb pairing > tool, and you should be able to run a couchdb server on the NAS and > then pair client desktopcouch instances with couch running on your > NAS. > > If you decide to tackle this, please do stop by #ubuntuone on Freenode > and ask any questions you run into - we're busy but friendly :) > -- > Elliot Murphy | https://launchpad.net/~statik/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
