#webdav

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Ok. Remotely cleaning a huge (>2 TB, many many files and subdirs) #Nextcloud-hosted folder (not the whole user) is *painful*. Without access to the host it runs on I am limited to either the webinterface - which breaks - or using #webdav with a tool like #rclone.

#rclone purge breaks (timeout), so rclone delete it is. Which is *slow*, really slow. Probably because the remote moves a deleted file into the (for this case) useless trashbin which can't be turned off.

At least one can use #xargs to run multiple rclones in parallel - first get a list of entries of the to-be-deleted-dir (rclone lsf), format them the way rclone expects (basically put name of remote in front) and use something like `xargs -n 1 -P0 rclone delete -v --rmdirs` on it.

Still, its running since yesterday later afternoon and we are down to 1.4Tb left, of 2Tb. Even in parallel, the webdav shit manages to delete 2 to 4 files a second only.

Neues vom #mobilen #Server:

  1. Ersten Stromausfall gut überstanden. Also meine Geräte... alle #Netze, #Mobil, #Glasfaser, #Kupfer waren gestört. Als erstes kam das mobile Netz der #Telekom wieder, ließ aber keinen Aufbau eines #VPN zu, verteilte auch keine #IPv6.

=> #auswandern

  1. Das mit dem #Streaming ist und bleibt Mist. Selbst im gleichen #WLAN belastet es die Infrastruktur so übermaßen, dass neben #Abstürzen wohl auch eine erheblich kürzere Lebenerwartung zu befürchten ist. Der beste Weg des #Datenmanagements ist und bleibt #webdav. Hier können Mediendateien und Dokumente bequem synchronisiert und damit auch gleichzeitig gesichert und auf dem #Endgerät genutzt werden.

  2. #DeltaChat mit #chatmail, #deltabots und #webxdc anstelle der meisten Apps zu nutzen funktioniert - fast. Hier fehlt es eindeutig an #Unterstützung einer #freien, #dezentralen und #basisdemokratischen #Entwicklung und #Infrastruktur, weil offenbar jegliches #Verständnis für die #Wurzeln des #Internet verloren gegangen ist - auch und besonders bei den sogenannten #Experten.

Statt auf #Marken sollte der Fokus endlich wieder auf #Zielen, #Zwecken und #Protokolken liegen - und auf Datensparsamkeit und Datenklarheit.

Hier haben die Menschen rund um dieses Projekt Großartiges und über die Informatik hinaus Wertvolles für die gesamte #Wissenschaft geleistet - die allerdings nicht mehr #frei ist, sondern gleichfalls längst unter dem Büttel des #Wirtschaftsfaschismus steht. Das gilt auch für #Mastodon, was das #Fedivers in eine Richtung zieht, die mir gar nicht gefällt.

Unterstützung heißt nicht, mit #Geldspenden das Gewissen zu beruhigen - wo bei wir alle Geld gut gebrauchen können, um weiter zu machen. Unterstützung heißt #mitmachen. Einfach mal #DeltaChat installieren und ausprobieren - und versuchen, zu verstehen.

@oceanhaiyang
A Subversion server is a very well proven SCCM system. It uses a variant of #WebDAV when used as mod_dav_svn with the Apache 2 webserver.

WebDAV used to be a big thing 20 years ago, and SharePoint still uses it.

As Subversion and Apache 2 is robust and easy to operate it's an interesting choice as an incremental document storage for those who don't want to rely on cloud services.

Here is an other post of my series about #^WebDAV & CO .

In the last posts we learn who to mount the Hubzilla/streams cloud by WebDAV to our desktop or phone.

Now if we would have the option to auto-sync folders into or from the Hubzilla/streams cloud this would gives us even more abilities and extended usability.

For auto-sync folders form an android phone you can try RoundSync

#^https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync/releases

The project builds on rclone and is fork from RXC

#^https://github.com/x0b/rcx
#^https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.x0b.rcx/

RXC is also a very useful app but it is lacking the auto-sync function.

After you set up the WebDAV remote connection in RoundSync you can add tasks and timer for triggering the different tasks - i love it.



On your desktop and if you are on Linux you can have a look at Celeste

#^https://github.com/hwittenborn/celeste
#^https://flathub.org/apps/com.hunterwittenborn.Celeste

First set up the WebDAV connection and add to the URL also a folder in your cloud if you like



than set up the local folder like:



Celeste works very well - the downside is that we can´t set a time-period for syncing... when Celeste is running sync will start every 2 second...



Auto-sync folders can be very useful for a lot of things, not just for backups.
You may post and tell us about the use cases you come up with.

I use it to save my photo collection of images i find in the web to a HZ photo album. Also edited notes from Joplin can be shared this way automatically.



In the next post i will show an Android audio player which can play your privat music /audio file collection from your WebDAV streaming cloud.

STAY TUNED and keep following

Here is an other post of my series about WebDAV & CO.

With WebDAV you can manage your data/files and exchange them to all your different devices. Your Hubzilla/streams channel can take over the server part here. Since this is done by credentials you do not want to share this all will work just for you - you can´t really share to your friends and contacts by WebDAV. But once the data and files are stored in your Hubzilla/streams channel you can of cause share them with other tools and by ZOT/Nomad and AP.

The most common and well known use of WebDAV is to mount a cloud account/drive to your desktop PC.
Some times i can be a bit tricky to get it work but once it is set up you see your cloud storage popping up just like an other hart drive you have mounted to your PC and you can easily copy and exchange files by drag and drop.
Once you have the files in your Hubzilla/streams cloud you can use the files for all kind of things. You can publish them, if you want just to certain groups or speziell Fediverse contacts, or keep them privat as your privat archive or backup in the cloud.
It is just incredible that we have this functionality in Hubzilla/streams which makes your account on a Hubzilla/streasm server so much more worth and useful.
So invest some time and try to set up your WebDAV connection.

Here you finde a description how to do it for your Window, MAC or Linux PC:

#^https://im.allmendenetz.de/wiki/chris/WebDAV/connect_to_your_Hubzilla_streams_cloud

For android phones i would like to advice you this app:



Material Files


a Open source Material Design file manager
#^https://f-droid.org/de/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/


After installation click on

Add Storage > WebDAV SERVER

fill in like:

Hostname: your.serverurl.tld
Port:443
pfad: dav/[Channel-Nickname]
nmae: waht ever you lik
Protokoll: HTTPS
Authentification: Password

Usename: [Channel-Nickname]
Password: [Password of your Hubzilla/streams Account]

This is how it looks on my phone:



Now you can browse your files and images which are on the Hubzilla/streams cloud also from your phone.

or

take a picture with your smartphone camera and save it easily on your Hubzilla/streams cloud.

or

click the share button of a file on your phone - select the "Material file manager" , navigate to the Hubzilla/streams cloud and share the file to that location.

This way you extend your local storage you have on your phone with the the Hubzilla/streams cloud.

If you save private files /images in a Hubzilla/streams cloud folder keep in mind to protect the folder by the implemented Access Control System with a setting link "only me" to keep it a way from public eyes.

Keep in mind also that since the files are not encrypted everybody who as root access to the server - usually this would be just the Admin of a server - could see your files if he/she really wants to - So like almost always - you have to trust the admin of your server.

In the next post i will show you an App which works with WebDAV and secure encryption so the Admin is out of the game in this respect.

#Hubzilla has integrated the #WebDAV, #CalDAV and #CardDAV protocols. (#streams just WebDAV)
This protocols extend the functionality of #Hubzilla and #streams in some very useful ways. Unformulated this not very well know.

I will start here a series of posts where i will give some examples of this extended use.

If you follow this posts it will become clear to you that this functionalities are the door to a world of interactions no other Fediverse app does offer.

As a start here a quot from Wikipedia:

WebDAV began in 1996 when Jim Whitehead worked with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to host two meetings to discuss the problem of distributed authoring on the World Wide Web with interested people. Tim Berners-Lee's original vision of the Web involved a medium for both reading and writing. In fact, Berners-Lee's first web browser, called WorldWideWeb, could both view and edit web pages; but, as the Web grew, it became a read-only medium for most users. Whitehead and other like-minded people wanted to transcend that limitation.

* Support for NextCloud Notes apps! (tested with Android app)
* Thumbnails in the NextCloud Android client!
* Faster fetch of directory listing when there's a lot of files
* Web UI: Upload multiple files at once, delete multiple files at once

I was so close: github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue

Was supposed to pack stuff… Well, I guess that's one way to spend your noon.

It was driving me crazy why the backups always failed and thought it was from the project I forked: git.shivering-isles.com/shiver

But no, learned a lot about webdav in the past 24h.

And big props to the logs features of GrapheneOS never enjoyed debugging with an Android app that much before!

I see that #Zotero can synchronise across devices using #Webdav. Has anyone tried that and if so, is it reliably working? And if so, could you point to an explanation of how to make it work even if I have no idea of what Webdav is?

(I need to switch from using the Zotero storage because I'm out of space (yes even on a $60/y plan) and need to sync across multiple computers + phone + Boox tablet.)
