  31. <description><![CDATA[How to set up ownCloud Infinite Scale on Linux, Raspberry, Mac, or Windows really quick]]></description>
  32. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="external-link" href="https://owncloud.com/infinite-scale-4-0/" rel="nofollow">ownCloud Infinite Scale</a> is a user-centric, cloud-native, open source, file sharing and collaboration platform that offers infinite scalability and enables complete digital sovereignty. Now, it is possible to set up and test this powerful product on your own computer with just a few easy steps. The set-up script runs on 64 bit AMD/Intel CPU based Linux machines, 64 bit Raspberry Pi with Raspbian OS, and MacOSX. The <span class="inline-comment-marker valid" data-ref="3e4beab2-43d0-4623-b2ba-92eb76b363e0">flavor</span> of Linux should not make a difference. But even if you just have a Windows machine at your disposal, you have the chance to explore the possibilities of ownCloud Infinite Scale! You just have to enable the <a class="external-link" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about" rel="nofollow noopener">Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)</a>.</p>
  33. <p>In this guide, we will show you how to set up Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)  on your Windows machine, walk you through the installation process of ownCloud Infinite Scale on a Linux system, and outline a quick testing process.</p>
  34. <p><strong>How to install Linux on Windows with WSL</strong></p>
  35. <p>Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Windows that allows you to run a Linux environment on your Windows machine, without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting. Follow<a class="external-link" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install" rel="nofollow noopener"> Microsoft&#8217;s official documentation </a>to easily install WSL on your Windows system. Now you are ready to test Infinite Scale.</p>
  36. <p><strong>Set up and test Infinite Scale on Linux</strong></p>
  37. <ol>
  38. <li>Open a terminal on your device and navigate to a directory within your home where you have the capacity to store data.</li>
  39. <li>Type the following command line (however, <strong><u>not </u></strong>as user root):</li>
  40. <li>curl -L <span class="nolink">https://owncloud.com/runocis.sh</span> | /bin/bash</li>
  41. </ol>
  42. <p>This automatically pulls the latest stable version of Infinite Scale from the <a class="external-link" href="https://download.owncloud.com/" rel="nofollow">official download server</a> of ownCloud onto your computer. It creates a configuration and a start script, and starts the server. The script detects the platform that you are running to download the right binary version.</p>
  43. <ol>
  44. <li>Once the server is started, Infinite Scale’s web client can be accessed by visiting the URL <a class="external-link" href="https://localhost:9200/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://localhost:9200/</a>.</li>
  45. <li>Since this is an installation for testing purposes only, it does not have a proper certificate configured. That is why your browser is complaining about the certificate. You have to accept the certificate as a security exception in order to proceed.  (In Chrome, click on &#8220;Advanced&#8221; in the security warning and then on &#8220;Proceed to lacalhost (unsafe)&#8221;. In other browsers, this works similarly. And indeed, that is one of the reasons why you’re not supposed to use this sneak peak in production or even exposed to the internet.
  46. <p><div id="attachment_78388" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-78388" class="wp-image-78388 size-medium" src="https://owncloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Chrome-Exception-300x207.png" alt="Private conntection disclaimer" width="300" height="207" /><p id="caption-attachment-78388" class="wp-caption-text">By clicking on “Advanced” you can bypass this message.</p></div></li>
  47. <li>The set-up script also creates several demo users upon first start-up on your Infinite Scale in order to explore all the features especially different user groups. Please find the description of the demo users <a class="external-link" href="https://owncloud.dev/ocis/getting-started/demo-users/" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a> .</li>
  48. <li>Now you&#8217;re ready to log in with any of the demo users and explore the possibilities of Infinite Scale.

  50. </ol>
  51. <p><strong>Further information</strong></p>
  52. <ol>
  53. <li>The set-up script downloads the golang single binary of Infinite Scale down to the machine into a sandbox directory, called ocis-sandbox-&lt;version&gt;, chmod it to be executable and creates a working config and a data dir. All these happen with the privileges of the logged in user, no sudo or root involved. If you&#8217;re curious, you’re encouraged to double check the install script using, for example, the command curl -L <span class="nolink">https://owncloud.com/runocis.sh</span>.</li>
  54. <li>If the server is stopped by pressing Ctrl-C or if you closed the Linux window on a Windows machine, you can later restart it by changing into the sandbox directory and run the script that was left behind in the sandbox with the command  bash runocis.sh .

  102. <description><![CDATA[Digital sovereignty is becoming increasingly important for public authorities and companies - and they already have the option of using fully sovereign software stacks. Content collaboration specialist ownCloud explains what sets them apart.]]></description>
  103. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Companies and public authorities are increasingly striving for <a href="https://owncloud.com/news/digital-resilience/">digital sovereignty</a>. As public administration works with highly sensitive data, the German government&#8217;s digital strategy calls for authorities to have full sovereignty over their IT. Companies, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly aware that they need to be digitally independent in order to protect their intellectual property, secure competitive advantages and not restrict their ability to innovate.</p>
  104. <p>According to ownCloud, public authorities and companies can already achieve complete <a href="https://owncloud.com/news/is-this-what-digital-sovereignty-is-supposed-to-look-like/">digital sovereignty</a> in the software stack. This state is achieved when their software applications guarantee independence on three decisive levels:</p>
  105. <p>1. <strong>Data sovereignty.</strong> Data sovereign organizations are always autonomous with regard to their own data and do not have to fear unwanted access. This risk exists in particular when companies or public authorities do not operate IT systems themselves and do not host data themselves, but instead use external IT service providers and cloud services.</p>
  106. <p>In these cases, it must be ensured that no unauthorized parties gain access, that the data is stored and processed in accordance with applicable law and that this right can be effectively enforced in case of doubt.</p>
  107. <p>2. <strong>Operational sovereignty.</strong> Organizations must be independent of platforms when operating software. They should be free to decide where they want to operate an application: be it in their own data center, as a managed service with an IT service provider of their choice or in a public cloud. But the software itself must also guarantee independence. Companies and public authorities should be able to replace an application with an alternative solution at any time if necessary. To this end, the software must support open standards that enable all types of data to be transferred freely and without modification to other systems.</p>
  108. <p>3. <strong>Technical sovereignty.</strong> Companies and public authorities should not have to blindly trust that software is working properly, but should be able to verify this themselves. This is only the case if they have full transparency about the source code of a software, i.e. if they use open source or shared source software.</p>
  109. <p>Open source code enables organizations to convince themselves that a software does not contain any backdoors through which data can be leaked to third parties unnoticed. Their investments are also protected. If the provider disappears from the market, they can continue to develop the software independently.</p>
  110. <div id="attachment_77932" style="width: 277px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-77932" class="wp-image-77932" src="https://owncloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/holger-683x1024.jpeg" alt="Holger Dyroff" width="267" height="400" /><p id="caption-attachment-77932" class="wp-caption-text">Holger Dyroff, Co-Founder, COO and Managing Director of ownCloud.</p></div>
  111. <p>&#8220;<em>If you apply this model, it quickly becomes clear that digital sovereignty is not possible with the cloud platforms of the major US players. They do not guarantee independence on any of the three levels</em>,&#8221; explains Holger Dyroff, Co-Founder, COO and Managing Director of ownCloud.</p>
  112. <p>&#8220;<em>Companies can only achieve one hundred percent digital sovereignty with solutions from the open source community &#8211; and this option is de facto open to them today. There is now a wide range of enterprise-grade open source applications that can easily compete with hyperscaler services in terms of user-friendliness and functionality.</em>&#8221;</p>

  136. <description><![CDATA[Malina Freitag recounts how ownCloud Infinite Scale made it a breeze for her and her friends to organize, access and share photos taken during her school trip. ]]></description>
  137. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In July 2023, a total of 40 students and teachers from my school, the Gymnasium Eckental (near Nuremberg, Germany), embarked on a mandatory five-day long project seminar in the Austrian Alps. Our adventures included sleeping in cozy alpine huts, climbing the Rofan mountains and going on long hikes everyday along breathtaking mountain roads. It was the students who were solely responsible for planning every aspect of this adventure, including ensuring that the backpacks carried all the essentials, charting out the hiking routes and finding convenient places to stop for the nights. My responsibility was to curate and manage all the photos clicked during the course of our adventure.</p>
  138. <p>I figured that everyone in our group would snap plenty of photos during the trip, as these moments were certainly worth cherishing for a lifetime. So, I started my search for a software that would allow each member to upload their photos and also access others’ photos effortlessly in a central platform. Ensuring that the platform offered easy organization and security was, of course, of vital importance. Plus, steering clear of public clouds with questionable privacy policies was a priority for me. That&#8217;s when I stumbled upon <a href="https://owncloud.com/infinite-scale-4-0/">ownCloud Infinite Scale</a>, and it turned out to be the ideal solution.</p>
  139. <h2><strong>Photo Management Workflow</strong></h2>
  140. <p>ownCloud Infinite Scale has greatly streamlined my photo management workflow. Its user-friendly web interface and mobile app make it exceptionally easy to handle, even when one is out hiking in the Alps! This mobile accessibility allowed me to efficiently organize photos during our trip, ultimately saving me a significant amount of work later on. Moreover, the self-hosting feature on a sponsored host ensures that our photos remain secure.</p>
  141. <p>First, I set up dedicated upload areas for each user using ownCloud Infinite Scale&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://owncloud.com/features/spaces">Spaces</a>&#8221; feature. I shared these upload spaces in &#8220;<a href="https://owncloud.com/features/file-drop-folders/">File Drop</a>&#8221; mode and distributed them to fellow students via QR codes. This approach ensured that each student had an individually accessible upload space, restricting access to only the photos each had uploaded.</p>
  142. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-78025" src="https://owncloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot-2023-12-11-at-14.24.50-1024x354.jpg" alt="ownCloud infinite scale" width="1024" height="354" srcset="https://owncloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot-2023-12-11-at-14.24.50-980x339.jpg 980w, https://owncloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot-2023-12-11-at-14.24.50-480x166.jpg 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw" /></p>
  143. <p>As an administrator, this setup allowed me to moderate the images effectively. I could review and sort through the uploaded photos before transferring them to another designated space for all students to access. This ensured that only relevant and appropriate images were included in our seminar and tour collection.</p>
  144. <p>The final space where I stored these images served as a shared gallery, which we access conveniently through a QR code. This gallery has become a valuable chance for us to revisit our great trip whenever we want.</p>
  145. <div id="attachment_78017" style="width: 723px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-78017" class=" wp-image-78017" src="https://owncloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_1118-1024x576.jpg" alt="Infinite Scale" width="713" height="401" /><p id="caption-attachment-78017" class="wp-caption-text">With ownCloud Infinite Scale, accessing and sharing images is very simple and secure.</p></div>
  146. <h2><strong>ownCloud Infinite Scale: Overall a great experience</strong></h2>
  147. <p>I had a great experience working with ownCloud Infinite Scale because it not only provided a solution to all my wishes of a secure, personalized cloud, but was also incredibly easy to use on the go. Most of the students, including myself, brought only a smartphone on the trip. Yet the ownCloud mobile app made it simple to collect, access and manage the huge amount of pictures taken in a secure way. In conclusion, ownCloud Infinite Scale helped us with making the hiking trip unforgettable and keeping those memories accessible!</p>

  164. <description><![CDATA[The BayernBox is an open-source solution for secure data exchange in around 1,000 Bavarian municipalities. Holger Dyroff, COO and co-founder of ownCloud, explains the background of the project in an interview.]]></description>
  165. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Your company was involved in the development of the BayernBox. What was the basic idea behind this project?</h3>
  166. <p><strong>Dyroff: </strong>The idea behind BayernBox is to provide all local authorities in Bavaria with a central platform for data exchange and to accelerate the digitalization process in local administration. When we talk about local administration in Bavaria, we are talking about 2,000 individual bodies. These include small communities, municipalities , districts, associations and large districts.<br />
  167. They all face the challenge of digitizing their systems and processes at affordable costs while meeting high security and data protection requirements. One can probably well imagine that great synergy effects are possible with such a transformation.</p>
  168. <p>Accordingly, implementation quickly picked up speed after we started with the first municipalities in 2019.<br />
  169. The fact that we have now broken the 1,000 mark naturally spurs us on to further develop the BayernBox. In addition to the web client, the desktop client was also recently rolled out, offering users even more convenience. And the range of functions is constantly being expanded.</p>

  171. <h3>The BayernBox is based on ownCloud open-source technology. Why open source?</h3>
  172. </div>
  173. <p><strong>Dyroff:</strong> Open source generally stands for the highest level of digital sovereignty and is therefore exactly the direction in which the digitalization of the public sector is developing. This is reflected in the federal government &#8216;s coalition agreement as well as in the first eGovernment laws at the federal state level.</p>
  174. <p>In a few years, the majority of public procurement procedures will require the use of open-source software. The reason is simple: open source stands for the highest level of transparency, which fully enables security and data protection. And these two values ​​are of central importance, especially when it comes to public services.</p>

  176. <h3>Is the BayernBox also a successful example of a sovereign solution that does not require hyperscalers?</h3>
  177. <p><strong>Dyroff: </strong>Absolutely. I will just say this briefly and succinctly: In Germany we are not dependent on hyperscalers . This is especially true if data protection and data security really have to play a role. I am convinced that the Bavarian state government has taken the right path with BayernBox. It corresponds to the spirit of the Bavarian Digital Act, which has legally anchored open source as a new standard in procurement.<br />
  178. And the BayernBox has also met with a great response from Bavarian municipalities, as we were clearly told in discussions. For many employees, it is a central tool in everyday work for storing and sharing large amounts of data, for example not only documents but also videos, or simply collaborating with colleagues. Of course we are proud that we were able to create this opportunity.</p>

  180. <h3>Are there ambitions to further develop the project or expand it to other federal states?</h3>
  181. </div>
  182. <p><strong>Dyroff:</strong> In principle, it is the task of the individual federal states to decide on the implementation of such IT projects. We have no influence on that. Of course, as ownCloud we would welcome discussions with other federal states. I think that, in addition to the technical skills, we have a lot of know-how about the requirements that municipal IT has to cope with. We look forward to further collaboration with the Bavarian State Government and are always open to further developing the project and integrating new functionalities.</p>

  251. <description><![CDATA[Kiteworks and ownCloud join forces to underscore its commitment to the DACH market.
  252. ]]></description>
  253. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> By joining forces with ownCloud, Kiteworks underscores its commitment to the DACH market</strong></p>
  254. <p>ownCloud, a provider of the open-source content collaboration platform of the same name, announced today that it entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Kiteworks, which delivers data privacy and compliance for sensitive content communications through customer-enabled Private Content Networks (PCNs). This move strengthens ownCloud’s standing in its market and at the same time significantly expands Kiteworks’ market commitment, accelerating its vision to deliver the most robust and easy-to-use platform for content security and compliance on a global scale.</p>
  255. <p>Kiteworks also announced that it has entered into a merger agreement with DRACOON based in Regensburg, Germany.</p>
  256. <p>The DRACOON and ownCloud mergers represent a pivotal milestone in Kiteworks’ dedication to enabling organizations to securely collaborate with customers, partners, and employees through secure file and email data exchange across a PCN. In the short term, DRACOON and ownCloud customers and partners have the opportunity to gain access to the expanded security and compliance capabilities of Kiteworks. Over time, the combined human and technological resources from the three companies will greatly advance data governance and controls for regulated industries in the DACH market by enabling them to realize zero-trust policy management for sensitive content communications on one platform. Further, the high level of commitment that DRACOON and ownCloud apply to the data privacy and sovereignty of their customer data is embraced by Kiteworks—from single-tenant hosting to key management and encryption that can be accessed only by the customer, giving total privacy to customer data.</p>
  257. <p>“We are excited to welcome DRACOON and ownCloud into the growing Kiteworks family,” said Jonathan Yaron, Chairman and CEO at Kiteworks. “Our collective resources and expertise further strengthen our focus on championing data security and compliance through strategic deployment of Private Content Networks on a global scale. The three companies share a commitment to securing sensitive customer content without compromising user experience and productivity across sensitive content communication channels. Kiteworks’ commitment to data privacy remains strong with these mergers. As with DRACOON and ownCloud, Kiteworks has no ability to access customer keys or data and our core values of trust and privacy guide everything that we do.”</p>

  285. </div>
  288. </div></div>
  289. <p>Through the mergers, DRACOON and ownCloud gain access to expanded resources and capabilities that will empower them to serve their customers and partners better. Kiteworks’ adherence to comprehensive certification and compliance standards, such as SOC 2 Type II, FedRAMP Authorized, ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018, Cyber Essentials Plus, and others, builds on compliance achievements by DRACOON and ownCloud that include local standards like BSI C5 Certification, IDW PS 951, IT Security Made in Germany (ITSMG), IT Security Made in the EU (TeleTrusT), and Software Hosted in Germany. This adherence to international and local security standards demonstrates an unwavering commitment to individual customer requirements by all three companies. In addition, the Kiteworks-enabled PCN and its audit log capabilities provide customers with the ability to demonstrate compliance with regulations. DRACOON and ownCloud customers will also have expanded options to benefit from enhanced protection of their sensitive and confidential data through Kiteworks’ single-tenant customer hosting model and its hardened appliance, which are widely regarded as the most secure in the industry. ownCloud’s open-source position will remain the same after the merger.</p>
  290. <p>For Kiteworks, the two mergers give the company immediate access to DRACOON’s and ownCloud’s rapidly growing European customer bases, with key concentrations in the DACH market, that span numerous industry sectors. Recognizing the importance of having a local presence in the European market, Kiteworks plans further investments in on-the-ground teams and infrastructure to support local customers.</p>
  291. <p>“Kiteworks is the ideal partner to realize our long-term vision of providing real-time content sharing and collaboration at scale and deliver enterprise-grade solutions,” said Tobias Gerlinger, CEO and Managing Director at ownCloud. “We share an unwavering passion to enable organizations to seamlessly share and work on sensitive content regardless of device or location—while in compliance with regulations and data sovereignty requirements.

  391. <description><![CDATA[ownCloud, provider of the open source-based content collaboration platform of the same name, joins Deutsche Telekom's technology and partner network. The aim is to create a comprehensive range of software solutions for office collaboration based on open source, security and digital sovereignty.]]></description>
  392. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Deutsche Telekom&#8217;s new offering provides German government agencies with both an integrated overall solution and the option of selecting individual modules from it. ownCloud expands the product offering with its content collaboration platform as a central partner of Deutsche Telekom&#8217;s large ecosystem, enabling government agencies to realize their collaboration and document management with secure software from the cloud.</p>
  393. <p>Like all the other solutions in the Telekom package, ownCloud is based on open source technology. This approach is an important part of the strategy to strengthen data protection and digital sovereignty in Germany and the EU. Together with its partners, Deutsche Telekom is now providing federal, state and local governments with the tools they need to implement this strategy.</p>
  394. <p>In order to make digital collaboration secure, <span class="a-nobr-expr">T-Systems</span> and grommunio have developed the software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution called <a href="https://www.t-systems.com/de/en/newsroom/expert-blogs/carefree-digital-collaboration-522772" rel="noopener">OpenSource Collaboration</a>: a package that combines office tools, cloud hosting, and end-to-end services.</p>
  395. <p>The e-government sector in particular relies on GDPR-compliant, secure and trustworthy software solutions. All solutions in the Telekom portfolio not only originate from Europe, but open standards also increase digital sovereignty, facilitate data transfer and take into account all specifications for public administration. When it comes to implementation, customers can choose between Telekom&#8217;s own data centers and its platforms, such as the Open Telekom Cloud.</p>
