ownCloud Infinite Scale<\/a>\u00a0is 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\u00a0flavor<\/span>\u00a0of 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\u00a0Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we will show you how to set up Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)\u00a0 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>\n

How to install Linux on Windows with WSL<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u00a0Microsoft’s official documentation\u00a0<\/a>to easily install WSL on your Windows system. Now you are ready to test Infinite Scale.<\/p>\n

Set up and test Infinite Scale on Linux<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open a terminal on your device and navigate to a directory within your home where you have the capacity to store data.<\/li>\n
  2. Type the following command line (however,\u00a0not\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>as user root):<\/li>\n
  3. curl -L\u00a0https:\/\/owncloud.com\/runocis.sh<\/span>\u00a0| \/bin\/bash<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This automatically pulls the latest stable version of Infinite Scale from the\u00a0official download server<\/a>\u00a0of 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>\n

      \n
    1. Once the server is started, Infinite Scale\u2019s web client can be accessed by visiting the URL\u00a0https:\/\/localhost:9200\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. 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.\u00a0 (In Chrome, click on „Advanced“ in the security warning and then on „Proceed to lacalhost (unsafe)“. In other browsers, this works similarly. And indeed, that is one of the reasons why you\u2019re not supposed to use this sneak peak in production or even exposed to the internet.\n

      By clicking on \u201cAdvanced\u201d you can bypass this message.<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n

    3. 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\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0.<\/li>\n
    4. Now you’re ready to log in with any of the demo users and explore the possibilities of Infinite Scale.\n

      Further information<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The set-up script downloads the golang single binary of Infinite Scale down to the machine into a sandbox directory, called ocis-sandbox-<version>, 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’re curious, you\u2019re encouraged to double check the install script using, for example, the command curl -L\u00a0https:\/\/owncloud.com\/runocis.sh<\/span>.<\/li>\n
      2. 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\u00a0 bash runocis.sh .\n

      3. The set-up script and the demo were tested on these platforms: 64 bit AMD\/Intel CPU based Linux machines, 64 bit Raspberry Pi with Raspbian OS, MacOSX, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with Ubuntu.\u00a0The flavor of Linux should not make any difference.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
