I'm still using Owncloud 7 in Debian 8, looking to see if I should
upgrade or keep using it.
It is not a special server, just a container of files for download, as
such there is barely any important database content.
The reason I wanted to say for picking 7 (instead of 8 at the time) was
that 7 looked better to me with the user interface ;-).
I don't know right now but version 10 doesn't look bad.
Can anyone tell me some pros and cons with staying with 7 vs. going with
10 for me specifically?
- prefer to have something that will still work with PHP5?
- size is somewhat important (7 is about 50MB but more than 100MB is
something I am going to feel a bit)
- personally the only feature from 7 I wanted to use but couldn't at
some point was (in addition to Files),
the ability to play back music. I think that created havoc at some
point and I turned off the plugin after
it was said that it was only 'community supported'.
I would probably have wanted to use some database upgrade path but it
seems that is not very easy with Owncloud?
- does Owncloud 10 still easily integrate "new" "discovered" files into
its view and database?
One essential feature for me is that I can just move files there within
the shell even if that is not officially supported, because Webdav is
not something I really like and/or can get working and only a web
interface is not enough (too slow).
Owncloud 7 never complained about any of that as long as I set
permissions right and it just worked flawlessly each and every time.
So my most urgent needs are only:
- the functionality of Owncloud 7 (I don't really need more)
- easy moving files 'in place' outside of Owncloud
- maybe a music app
- size on disk for program files not bigger than 100MB
- preferably PHP 5 support also
And I only really want to choose between version 10 and 7.
Any ideas?
Regards, Xen.
