Transip STACK - free 1TB owncloud

Got the invite, and after fumbling around I managed to get it working. Unfortunately, they seem to be out of stock.
maybe because you not from NL? I translate using google translator.
I got these error too, I sign up a minute after receive email last night.
Just wait for a bit, the service is not always delivered immediately, when mine got activated it took around 15 minutes.. chances are it already working for you now...
Mine was delivered in about 10 mins after that email. Btw you can change language to english once you are in.
From the cp or the software?
Any idea if you need a Dutch IP to upload/download?
Took about 5 minutes for mine to be setup. The panel is in Dutch (Obviously) it's actually not that difficult to find your way around.
To change to english login username.stackstorage.com look for 'Instellingen'
In the bottom left of this page see Voorkeuren
To switch to English click Taal wijzigen click and set menu to English click Opslaan
Eh...Voila English
It's a freebie and it seems like an excellent setup
I also got a similar mail. But my account was activated around 15-20 mins later. And no, you do NOT need a Dutch IP to upload/download.
Though any pointers about changing the language to english will make yours truly very happy.
See above
It seems to pretty expensive, 2TB is 10 EURO per month and 10TB is 50 although that's in comparison to OVH (Hubic) 10TB for 50 EURO per year
Wow. Yesterday I didn't click their Dutch save/Change language button and wondered why the screen didn't change to English after finding it.

I also got my invite yesterday.
I'm not from anywhere close to the Netherlands but registration worked without any proxy. Yes, provision isn't immediate following registration, I had to wait 15 minutes during which apparently my space was being prepared, but since a friend of mine had to wait hours it could be that they manually approve people on working hours or something.
Tip: You don't have to mount webdav as filesystem. You can also upload files from VPS cli (over Webdav) like this:
$ curl -v -u user:pass -T FILE.NAME https://username.stackstorage.com/remote.php/webdav/FILE.NAME
Problem: using above command files mostly get uploaded well, but when tested with big files (one was 3gb, second was 2gb) I experience 2 issues:
operation seems to never end (I aborted it after about 30 minutes) so I don't get bash prompt back. cURL verbose option didn't hint the reason.
Although operation never ends, sometime file gets actually uploaded (and sometime not) with the right file size.
Keep in mind that upload speed from my US VPS was about 40mbps so a 3gb file upload should complete in about 10 minutes (so 30 minutes of waiting before aborting were much more than enough) .
I wonder what causes those issues.
Let me know if you know more.
Lol, I'm still waiting
Just trying this on cygwin mang, and it works! If you want to publish to a remote dir in owncloud, then it must exist!
Now I'm testing curling an 8GB file to my subdomain but can't see any stats of how it's going.
Looks like interrupting a curl upload won't leave any file on the remote directory.
Looks like a 1GB dd file upload worked. Will try more.
10GB is the file upload limit in theory. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https://www.transip.nl/vragen/748-upload-deel-verwijder-bestanden-stack/&edit-text=
Sounds like a timeout on the server, either web or db side.
Yea but read my edit. In my VPS speeds to Stack server a 3gb file upload should complete in 10 minutes - but despite that command kept running forever.
Anyway on timeouts curl should exit with some error IMO.
this is fairly easy to see on window resource manager.
curl is doing 5,500,000bits/s upload(6.8MB/s) from online.net's black friday special. no guaranteed network bandwidth on this though.
looks like I can upload with 40Mbits/s-60Mbits/s on average.
Anyway on timeouts curl should exit with some error IMO.
Thanks @GM2015 let me know if you experience same issues with big files uploads as mine.
Just to complete the above example, here is the command line to DOWNLOAD from Stack to your system:
$ curl -u user:pass https://username.stackstorage.com/remote.php/webdav/FILE.NAME --output FILE.NAME
('output' flag is the name you want to give it on your system - doesn't have to be same as original)
This seems to work a bit slow but OK.
However I'm much more concerned about those upload issues I had, since I feel I can't fully trust their service with my backup cron/scripts if it work just "sometimes"...
I'm trying a 12GB dd file to see if I can upload large files.That g translate links talks about max 10GB via the web interface.
Yeah, it's free and is unreliable. Consider it as additional source of backups, not your primary lol.
Thanks for the curl options on upload.
I managed to upload a 12GB file fine but it took me some time.
OK I I've tested again and tried to upload a 5gb file from 2 different VPSs. You're right, if I keep command running for VERY long time, upload will complete and command will exit normally. On one VPS it took 70 minutes and on the other it took 50 minutes. That's very slow but at least I'm happy to see command exiting normally.
Is it possible they throttle speed in the middle of big uploads? that's interesting because with files of up to 1gb all uploads were at 40mbps and I've never had such (apparently) changing speed problems.
I don't get the "no backup" feature on free plan.
The owncloud/stack purpose is all about data storage backup, right?
That means we should worry our data LOST? Or like their storage crash/corrupt
Nevermind. Still waiting...
@Hidden_Refuge I can feel you bro I'm sure you'll get it soon.
Somewhere on following thread people said invites got sent in small batches in random order (huge thread, can't remember exactly what page I saw it):
https://translate.google.co.il/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1655576/10&prev=search
Looks like those batches got bigger now so you must get it soon
I've got my activation code and it activated in few minutes.
Anyone knows how to change language?
Read the damn thread? There is a little instruction here starting on page 2 and ending on page 3.
Even with a picture: http://i.imgur.com/4n3LAUR.png
Got my code today, been able to register with a non-NL IP, had the thing validated in a few minutes.
Waiting was long but now that works :-) Not sure for how long they'll offer those though...
Got mine too. I 've seen it says they take no backups of the data but I am guessing (hoping) they use some kinda of RAID right? Anyone can confirm / deny?
Is the 1TB version of my data safe or not safe?
Certainly! Our STACK platform running in a secure RAID arrangement causing no problems can cause a drive failure without affecting your data. However, if you manually delete a file (permanently) or terminate your STACK, then we have because of the high volume of data here for the free 1TB stacks itself no backups. In that case you are so lost your data, pay attention here so good when you delete files!

I'm able to max out my upload speed to stack (using owncloud client).
