He has an other problem: his internal OwnCloud server should contact the outside Owncloud update servers, but outgoing connections are firewalled. He does not use, as far as i understand, a home server with DynDNS. In contrast to many PHP-installations, he blocks outging traffic on purpose.

This is a good idea. A very good idea.


But AFAIK it is not guaranteed, which server/IP OwnCloud contacts for updating etc. Some apps may contact their own server, the core contacts some AWS IPs, which may change?

Because of this, I use a proxy. Owncloud itself is here in a FreeBSD Jail with private IP on private interface lo23, but with the correct proxy setting it can connect everywhere. This is not a very good config, because security by obscurity – but better then nothing (a typical script kiddie attacker who 0wned my OwnCloud would try to access outside directly).


So, it would be a good idea, if OwnCloud defines fixed systems which may be contacted by the Owncloud Core Appliaction and Apps by default.
