Service 'StuffCloud'
Description The OwnCloud service is a webservice used to access, sync, and share your personal data. Currently you can:
  • store files (and in-place view/edit of certain extension directly from the web interface)
  • manage your contacts
  • manage your calendars
  • manage tasks (deactivated because broken at the moment)
  • manage bookmarks (for web links) (it should be possible to sync with Firefox in the future)
Prerequisite None
Account Global IPv6 Ready Yes
Security Notes This service is secure but beware when sharing your data to other people.

Warning! Remember not to use this service to store illegal or non-free data.


Access

Web Interface

Use this URL in your browser:

https://stuff.milkypond.org/

Then you can setup your contacts, calendars, and store files.

WebDAV Interface

You can use the WebDAV interface to sync your data from a desktop application or you mobile device. Applications can use the main address of the web interface (see above) with your credentials and should be able to discover you data, but sometimes they have limitations and you need to specify a full ugly link ; in this case you can find the link in the interface, either on the resource to access or in your personal settings page.

  • Files
    • Desktop:
      • use XFCE/Gigolo or GNOME/Nautilus to create a remote drive
      • use the csync utility to synchronize files
    • Mobile Devices:
  • Contacts:
  • Calendars:
    • Desktop:
    • Mobile Devices: the Owncloud app should be able to do it in the future, but you may use the CalDAV-Sync app which is to be opensourced, or try aCal (available on F-Droid) which does not use the internal calendar and proved quite slow
