@twain Yes, have been using nextcloud from day one, with encryption. Not installed from docker (whatever that is) and running on debian 9. Currently storing 96GB.
Yup I use NextCloud on 5 of these. Performance is ok. I have 2 in a pair with an rsync and nextcloud rescan daily, it works ok. The rsync is slow (waiting for the new kernel to fix this).
2x 6Tb (one in France, one in Canada) Rsync'd overnight (4Tb in use)(c 15 users)
2x 6Tb (both in France) Rsync'd overnight (2Tb in use)(c 5 users)
1x 2Tb (France) (1.5Tb in use)(meeeeee)
michaels said: The rsync is slow (waiting for the new kernel to fix this).
slow because of the 5Mbit issue or because of the weak CPU getting maxed out? ;-)
for the latter and if you have a lot of files to sync that are not really benefitting from (further) compression make sure you don't use -z flag with rsync and turn off ssh compression by using rsync -e 'ssh -o Compression=no' ...
@michaels: irc is high-latency-sometimes medium, best to stick around after asking a question.
anyway, i've found why ssh was shy of hwcrypto, it was compiled against openssl-1.0. if anyone wants to do some testing/benchmarking, recompiled openssl1.0 deb for stretch9 is uploaded to the site. please test and report (and as usual, throw a happy beer in my direction!)
it seems to me the OVH is so popular that their cloud system cant handle the demand and its now can show only the following error messages:

Was lucky and catched one BHS 4TB, ordered and paid one day later, had to wait about 5 days for delivery, but they did and not just deleted it, good support these days!!
Also just paying 9,41€/10,99USD for it, normally you have to add 19% VAT to the OVH prices, not in CA
Now I am struggeling a bit with the images, the naming is horrible, openmediavault3 is a debian 7, openmediavault is a debian 8 and on debian 9 stock I have 9GB less space and on some locations half netspeed and the kernel pops up with a 4.5.2, but it should be 4.9.124, cause there was never a 4.5.2 installed, but maybe that is the stock kernel I have choosen by install, but I can not find it on system, which is very strange.
_Catched another BHS 4TB yesterday, anyone interested? _

Anyone tried to install Nextcloud on one of these armv7 servers? Might try to use this and see how it goes:

They do the job so....
I run with the latest kernel.

The 5Mbit issue. I've already tweaked rsync. Thanks for the reply thou
The latest OVH kernel has the issue.
I guess @AlwaysSkint was talking about the latest community kernel from @KotCzarny
he really did a great job from what I can tell, am also running his 4.9.123 kernel at the moment and haven't encountered any issues so far.
I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I'm happy to test but I seem to miss people in IRC, so also happy to wait for the devs to be happy.
@michaels: irc is high-latency-sometimes medium, best to stick around after asking a question.

oh, and once done, dont forget to add aes256-cbc or aes128-cbc (preferably at low priority) to sshd_config then test with ssh -c aes128-cbc etc.
added wireguard.ko (and recompiled kernel with CONFIG_NET_UDP_TUNNEL). feel free to test #15
@ninzo59 or other OVH staff, any news? No intent to fix faulty SyS stuff?
it seems to me the OVH is so popular that their cloud system cant handle the demand and its now can show only the following error messages:
Error 503: Backend unavailable
Error 504: Backend unavailable
just curious ... what are you guys using arm with? it doesnt support virtualization
storing backups. why would I need virtualization on cheap storage space?
I see. Im looking into nebula . Having some issues. Gonna post as new thread.
the good news is that i got the 4.14 working:
Linux ns 4.14.67-kc375 #2 SMP Wed Sep 5 00:01:22 CEST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux
it's not made available yet. i have to straighten few rough edges on the code.
benchmark figures didnt change as much, but for completeness (from /fr node):

Does anyone know when SYS is planning on adding more storage servers? They seem to have been sold out for a few weeks now.
Some get back in stock every few days, just keep your eyes peeled.
There is no real restock happening, they just recycle the stock, its nearly every day in stock, within the week.
Is this still happening? I've been checking daily but no sign of .UK
A bit delayed. Will happen though
HeHe ok, thaanks @ninzo59
Is there any instant alerts for solts available?
Incoming today or beginning of next week @citrix
