<div dir="ltr">I just setup Owncloud on a BananaPi running Raspbian accessed via a WAP and it kind of rocks. I had to optimize the PHP and the extra processing power beyond the RPi was very helpful. Using it as a local server to distribute readings and assignments in my classroom. My students have done some great stuff with XMPP apps for messaging. I think what is needed is for folks with expertise to flash configured packages to SDs for devices like Pis- will make things much more accessible. There is some great documentation, but I would like to see an open Fantastico-type GUI for civic-oriented apps. Hoping to open source the apps we have developed- but having IP issues with the school I work at. They are less than supportive.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 11:58 AM, Adam Longwill <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adam.longwill@metamesh.org" target="_blank">adam.longwill@metamesh.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I tried to use Owncloud about 2 years ago and it was VERY difficult to set up. They promised it was easy to do but they neglected essential steps in the process such as setting permissions for obscure directories. Once you got it working it would very frequently just stop syncing files midway through and stick there even after restarts and reboots. it was terribly frustrating because of how much they advertised themselves as an easy-to-use product. Still, that was two years ago and they may have changed, but if I were to use them again I would keep my eyes open for these troublespots.<br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 11:21 AM, Dan Staples <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:danstaples@opentechinstitute.org" target="_blank">danstaples@opentechinstitute.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I'm putting together a guide for Commotion users on hosting and using<br>

Has anybody used and can recommend applications on this list? Are there<br>
any other applications you've self-hosted and would suggest adding?<br>

Some that I'm considering adding to our list are ownCloud, MediaGoblin,<br>
Wordpress, Etherpad, diaspora...<br>
