I don’t want apt to go away :’(
But I’m assuming snappy core will be far lighter than this custom LTS server setup.
Nobody will force you to upgrade 
Yes, and more reliable
Lighter = better performance so I’m OK with that. I’ll give up apt for it.
I expect thumbnail generation to improve though… I might DD before upgrade and revert if I feel let down 
@bittner, @Fredsua Regarding the hardware questions. It’s down to 2 things:
- Can Canonical and its hardware partners deliver support for more powerful SBC. We want to support the Odroid C2 per example, but if Hardkernel isn’t interested in getting Ubuntu Core to run on it, there isn’t much we can do
- Are hardware vendors such as WD Labs willing to offer more choices
I expect that to improve only if using a more powerful board or if you outsource the process to another server on your network.
Good to know, thanks for the quick response! Do I need to upgrade manually to Ubunto Core?
Yes, afaik, this will require putting the OS on an SD card, inserting it in the Pi and rebooting the Box.
Cool, thanks! But wouldn’t that also affect the nextcloud installation?
That partition won’t be touched.
Hi everybody, I finally got my Nextcloud by mail.
Unfortunately, I bought a Rapsberry PI3 (thinking that it would work anyway). The Nextcloud starts but doesn’t seems to install the system (I have waited hours), no access via browser, try to reinstall from a scratch, I tried connecting HDMI, no luck. The white LED from the hard drive blick the whole time and the PI3 seems to works.
Does anybody if I should worry that my Nextcloud is defect or the problem this is due to the PI3 is not yet supported? And if so, it means that I have to wait until next release in November?
Thanks.
Hello Jason,
I have tried the combo (ubuntu Core beta + Nextcloud snap) on “stronger” hardware than the Rpi, including LAN 1 Gbps and SATA disk, but the sync is not much faster. The “peak speed” was about 20 Mb/s for one or two second, but usually less (often 5 to 10), so I think that for the moment, the bottleneck is not the hardware nor the network !
On the other hand, it’s amazing how simple the installation is ! That snap thing is really a great idea !
With up- or download of large files you should be able to reach the network limit of an RPi device. Only a large number of small files challenges the databasse and you won’t see a network limitation. There are several improvements on a default raspbian system but optimization (mainly database and the use of redis cache) did the trick. Not sure about the snap system haven’t used that so far.
Hello, maybe this has been discussed and I am only to stupid to find the right thread.
I have a problem with https. Everything of the installation of the box works fine. Only when it comes to https I fail.
I used both $ sudo nextcloud.enable-https -s and $ sudo nextcloud.enable-https but in both the process is not completed. It ends with Restarting apache… and no “Done”. Any idea what is going wrong?
ok, so I will buy a full-frame camera, and shoot only in raw …
I haven’t tested the snap outside of the Pi, but I see better transfer rates on “standard” installations with good hardware. It’s not a massive concern in practice considering most uploading is out of the network but I’ll be replacing the Pi with something with a GB NIC as soon as support is available.
Hello
I am really happy with the hardware of the box. But I am facing issues as well. I have a lot of error in my logfile and once I got started it ran into severe server error. Then I saw that it was deliverd with NC 9.0.53 and not 10 as it is published on web.
I would like to know how I can update the snap and how I can avoid the internal server errors all the time?
Would this be helpful?
This updated my system to 10. But I still have trouble with https.
it would be interesting to have some bench with the same HW … The questions to answer are :
- is the snap as efficient as another install (eg with nginx) and then it is not necessary to spend more time on snap optimisation
- if not, why (ubuntu core limitation, apache config, … ?)
- is the Pi and a 100 Mbps network used to it full potential ? (if not, it is useless to spend more on HW and move to Pi3, Odroid or anything else…)
is there somewhere a image provided of the sd card which ships with the box ? i broke mine allready by snapping the case too fast down and its cut in half now lol even though i fixtured my pi and sd card was fully inserted.
