Infinite Scale 4.0.0

General

This release primarily focuses on performance and stability improvements along with usability enhancements for a more streamlined user experience.

Please find the full list of changes here:

Infinite Scale: Changes in 4.0.0
Web: Changelog for ownCloud Web 7.1.0

Paste to Upload

With the "Paste to upload" feature, you can instantly upload a single file by simply pasting it from your clipboard via CTRL+V / CMD+V in the Web UI. This eliminates the need for traditional file selection and upload methods, providing you an intuitive and swift upload process. Note: For security reasons "Paste to upload" works only for a single file, not for multiple files or a folder. #9140

Fulltext Search: Highlight Matches

Instead of just showing you the files that contain your search terms, it also highlights exactly where those terms are within each document. This will expedite your search for relevant content, saving you from the hassle of manually scanning through lengthy documents. Users can now activate the fulltext search by selecting the Search only in content filter chip located on the search results page. This takes away the need for inputting search syntax. #9294

Search: Location Filter

The location filter feature allows you to refine search by specifying the file location. Now, instead of searching throughout your entire storage system, you can specify to search only within your current folder. This allows for a faster, more accurate search result, saving you precious time and effort. #9304

Search: Tag Filter

With the tag filter on the search results page, you can now refine your search results by specific tags. If you’ve assigned tags to your files and folders for better organization, you can utilize these tags as filters in your searches. This means you can narrow down your search results to only show items that carry a specific tag.

For example, if you’re looking for a particular project file and you remember tagging it as "Project X", you can input "Project X" in the tag filter, and the search results will only display files and folders with that tag. This new feature is particularly useful when dealing with a large number of files, making your search more efficient and manageable. #9044, #9096

Cloud Importer (experimental)

We are excited to announce our new extension: Cloud Importer, designed to import files from other services. With this functionality, you can now seamlessly import files and folders from other services like OneDrive, Google Drive, ownCloud 10 or Nextcloud directly into Infinite Scale.

Effortlessly transfer your work documents, shared files, or entire project folders from these popular cloud storage platforms to your account. Whether you’re moving a single document or a large batch of files, the Cloud Importer ensures a smooth, fast, and reliable transfer. Note that the Cloud Importer only imports files, not shares or tags. Think of it as uploading a file, but from a cloud service instead of from your local drive.

The Cloud Importer is disabled by default. To enable this extension, please refer to the WOPI Docker Compose Deployment Example. #6702

This feature is experimental, i.e. its in a preview state, may break and individual production usage must be agreed with ownCloud Support.

The simplified sharing links make sharing files with both internal and external parties easier than ever, while maintaining the highest levels of security and access control.

With simplified sharing links, you can generate a single, user-friendly link for any file or folder you want to share. This one link is all you need, whether you’re sharing with team members within your organization or with external partners and clients.

The advanced design of simplified sharing links respects the permissions of all recipients, regardless of whether they’re internal or external. This means that users will only gain the access levels (e.g. view, download, edit) that you authorize. It ensures secure, controlled sharing without compromising on ease of use.

An added benefit for internal users is the visibility of the file location. If permission is granted, internal users can see where the shared file is stored within the organization’s file system. This enables them to navigate directly to the file location, eliminating the need to access the file via the shared link every time. This feature is particularly valuable for efficient collaboration and knowledge sharing within teams.

Simplified sharing links combines convenience, control, and clarity in one package. Experience a more streamlined and intuitive way to share files both within and outside your organization, while always maintaining control over your files' security and accessibility.

Note: If you create a sharing link that tries to grant more permissions than internal people have, the internal sharing permissions will take effect for internal people. In other words: The link acts as a "pointer" for internal people. #9299

File Control Bar

The file control bar is a static, always accessible bar located within the user interface of the document viewer or editor. It is designed to provide a consistent location where users can find and use critical file-related functions such as close or save. #8442, #8447

Links: Directly Open in Editor

When you share a document that has a standard associated application, the link will now open the document directly in its respective app, instead of showing the document as a single file listing as it did previously. This enables recipients to immediately begin viewing or editing the shared document, eliminating the extra step of navigating from the file listing to the actual document.

For instance, if you share a Word document, the recipient can click on the link and the document will open directly in its associated application, such as OnlyOffice or Microsoft Word, depending on the settings. #9046, #9307

You can now move files to a parent folder through a simple drag and drop action. Instead of navigating through multiple steps to move files, you can now simply grab the files you want to move and then drop them onto the breadcrumb trail representing the parent folders.

For example, if you’re in a subfolder and want to move a file up one level, you can drag the file to the breadcrumb link representing the parent folder. The file will be moved instantly, eliminating the need for traditional cut-and-paste or move-to operations. #9052

This feature allows you to right-click on any empty space (whitespace) within your file view to access the context menu. This action was previously limited to direct file or folder interaction, but we’ve expanded its functionality to utilize the whitespace as well, enhancing your control over the workspace. This new context menu provides quick access to commonly used operations. For instance, you can create a new folder directly from the menu, offering an expedited process for organizing your files. In addition, you can easily view details for the current folder, including its contents, shared status, and more, all from the same context menu. #8921

View Spaces as List

Previously, viewing your spaces was limited to a tiles format. You can now switch to a list view that presents your projects in a clean, streamlined manner. This new view offers an overview of all your spaces, allowing for easy navigation and a concise visual of your work environment.

This list view provides additional information about the space:

name of the manager
number of members
total quota
used quota
remaining quota
status
last modified date

in a more compact and organized manner. This is particularly useful for users who manage multiple spaces, as it allows for efficient scanning and selection. #9195

Other Notable Changes

Bugfix - Fixes for the Infinite Scale postprocessing restart command: Restarts the complete postprocessing pipeline if there is no active postprocessing: #6753
Enhancement - Add ocis decomposedfs check-treesize maintenance command: Verify the treesize metadata of a space in decomposedfs: #6556
Enhancement - Add server-sent events endpoint for notifications: #5998
Enhancement - Use reva client selectors to improve performance and scalability: #6452
Enhancement - Allow disabling WOPI chat to disable the inline chat in Only Office: #6544
Enhancement - Download a whole space as archive: #9056
Enhancement - We’ve implemented a new solution to deal with long breadcrumbs even with long folder names: #8984
Enhancement - Respect archiver limits. The archiver service announces a limit for the accumulated filesize of the currently selected resources. The web UI now respects those limits and shows a disabled download button once the limit has been reached. #9055
Enhancement - Privacy statement in account menu. We’ve added the option to add an imprint and privacy statement via the config: #9174
Enhancement - Allow local storage for auth token. We’ve introduced a new env var WEB_OPTION_TOKEN_STORAGE_LOCAL. When set to true (default), the auth token will be stored in the browser’s local storage instead of the session storage. This will enable a persisted login state across multiple browser tabs. #9386
Enhancement - Add login button to top bar. We’ve added a login button to the top bar, this might be handy if a user receives a public link, and they want to login with their user account. #9178
Enhancement - Add pagination options to admin settings: #9199
Enhancement - Add batch actions to search result list: #9200

Known Issues

A critical issue has been discovered where users where able to search other users' spaces under certain circumstances.

Migrations

The space index of the decomposedFS will be migrated from symlinks to messagepack. This is an auto migration. See the Upgrading Infinite Scale documentation for more and important details.
If you use a customized theme you need to add 3 new color tokens to the theme.json:
swatch-passive-hover-outline
swatch-primary-muted-hover
swatch-primary-gradient-hover

These colors ensure, that the primary and outlined buttons (e.g. "Upload" and "New") have a proper hover state.
If you used yes or no in your YAML files, please change these values to true or false. Background: The YAML parser we use does not support yes or no any more.

Breaking Changes

Client pool selectors have changed from IP addresses 127.0.0.1:9xxx to service names com.owncloud.api.*. #6452
All environment variables that were marked for deprecation in Infinite Scale release 4.0.0 have finally been removed. #7099

See the Upgrading Infinite Scale documentation for important details.

Infinite Scale 3.0.0

General

We are pleased to announce the availability of Infinite Scale 3.0.0 along with its clients for Web, Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Please find the full list of changes here:

Infinite Scale: Changes in 3.0.0
Web: Changelog for ownCloud Web 7.0.0

Antivirus (ICAP)

The Antivirus interface ensures secure file sharing by protecting against Trojans, viruses, and other malicious software. It scans files using an external antivirus scanning engine before storing them, preventing the spread of infected files. The integration of antivirus scanners through ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol) allows offloading of scanning to a dedicated service, improving performance and scalability. The interface works, for example, with ClamAV, a comprehensive virus scanner that detects various forms of malware in different file types. Read more: Antivirus Service

Note: Because Infinite Scale is capable of asynchronous post-processing, the system can efficiently handle a large number of simultaneous file scans without causing delays or bottlenecks that keep end users waiting. Read more: Postprocessing Service.

File Firewall

The file firewall adds an additional layer of security to the file-level. With definable rules and criteria, the admin can restrict file uploads based, for example, on file extensions, mime types or even content. This granular control helps prevent unwanted or unauthorized uploads.

Note: The file firewall utilizes Infinite Scale’s policies service to check whether a requested operation is allowed or not. To do so, Open Policy Agent (OPA) is used to define the set of rules of what is permitted and what is not. Policies are written in the Rego query language. Read more: Policies Service.

Fulltext Search

Fulltext search revolutionizes the way you search and retrieve files, making it easier and more efficient to find the information you need. It enables you to search for files based on their content, not just their titles or metadata. This means you can enter keywords or phrases related to the actual text within documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. Say goodbye to manually scanning through countless files and folders — finding the right document is now just a search away. Fulltext search utilizes Apache Tika for more advanced content extraction. Apache Tika ensures lightning-fast search results, delivering near-instantaneous responses to your queries. Whether you have a large document repository or a vast number of files, full text search will provide you with swift and accurate results, enabling you to access the information you need without delay. With Apache Tika you can search the contents of files of the types: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODF, HTML, XML, EPUB, RTF, Tar, RAR, AR, CPIO, Zip, 7Zip, Gzip, BZip2 and many more… Read more: Search Service.

Space Templates

Applying a template is a breeze. When creating a new project space, simply right-click on a folder of your choice, select "Create Space from selection" and the entire folder structure, complete with subfolders and files, will be instantly generated for a project space. Save time and ensure consistency by eliminating the need to manually create folders and subfolders every time you start a new project or onboard a new team. Space templates ensure a consistent folder structure across projects providing a standardized, efficient, and customizable approach to organizing your documents. Space Templates are only available to users with the permission to create spaces.

Custom User Roles

Infinite Scale ships with the default user roles admin, space admin, user and user light. Each role has different permissions. For example, only space admins can create spaces, but people with the role "User" cannot create a space. With custom roles, you can now configure roles that fit the needs of your organization. For example, if you need custom roles for your school, you can configure the roles "Teacher" and "Pupil" and not give pupils the permission to create public links. If you are interested in creating custom roles, reach out to us on Talk.

File Versions: Design Overhaul

File versions received a design overhaul so that you can go back easily in the version history of a file. With the new design of the file versions feature, you now have even easier access to a comprehensive version history for each file. Every time a file is modified or updated, a new version is created and stored, preserving a complete timeline of changes. This allows you to track and revert to previous versions as needed, ensuring data integrity and eliminating the risk of accidental data loss.

Administration Settings

This update brings a range of functions to streamline user, group, and space administration, enhancing the overall management experience. Let’s explore the exciting new capabilities:

Users Administration:

Filter Chips for Groups and Role:
Filter chips use tags or descriptive words to filter content. With that, you can now conveniently filter users based on groups and roles, making it easier to locate and manage specific user segments efficiently.
Batch Actions:
- Quota:
  Administrators can now modify the storage quota for multiple users at once, simplifying the management of storage allocations.
- Add to Group:
  Administrators can add multiple users to a group simultaneously, streamlining the process of assigning users to specific teams or projects.
- Remove from Group:
  Administrators can remove multiple users from a group in one go, ensuring efficient group membership management.
- Disable Login:
  Administrators can now disable login access for multiple users simultaneously, providing better control over user accounts.
- Edit Login (Dis/-allow):
  Administrators can enable or disable login access for multiple users, providing greater flexibility in managing user authentication.
Edit Username:
Administrators have the ability to edit the usernames, which is very important if users change their last name. Remember: In ownCloud Server, users where not allowed to marry and/or change names due to technical limitations. With Infinite Scale, marriage and name changes are now possible.

Groups Administration:

Rename Group:
Administrators can now rename groups, enabling them to update group names to better reflect their purpose or current project.
Show Members of a Group:
You can easily view a list of members belonging to a specific group, facilitating better oversight and management of group memberships.
Filter Members of a Group:
Administrators can filter group members, making it effortless to locate specific users within a group.

Spaces Administration:

List All Spaces: With appropriate permissions, administrators can now view a comprehensive list of all spaces within the organization. The following attributes are visible:

Space Name
Managers of the Space
Amount of Members in the Space
Remaining Quota
Last Modified Date
Status
View Contents of a Space: Please note that this update does not enable the viewing of contents within a space, including files, space images, or descriptions. This limitation ensures the security and privacy of space contents even from the eyes of an administrator.

This update focuses on fulfilling the legal requirements of Article 20 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - the Right to Data Portability. This feature empowers users to exercise greater control over their personal data and ensures compliance with GDPR guidelines.

The GDPR Export feature enables users to easily export where and which personal data stored within Infinite Scale, in compliance with the Right to Data Portability outlined in Article 20 of the GDPR. Users can now request and receive an export of their personal data in a JSON file, saved to the users' personal files. The export can be requested at any time in self-service by the user.

Secret File Drop

The feature formerly known as "Uploader" has been renamed to "Secret File Drop", but the functionality stays the same: The Secret File Drop feature allows users to generate unique links that can be shared with external parties. Recipients can anonymously drop files through these links without the need for a registered account or visibility into other submissions. This ensures data privacy and eliminates the risk of unauthorized access.

Effortless File Collection: With Secret File Drop, collecting files becomes a seamless process. Simply create a file drop link, share it with recipients, and let them submit files directly without any additional steps or complications. This feature saves time and eliminates the need for manual file collection methods, such as email attachments or physical hand-ins.

3 View Modes

Users can now choose three distinct view modes, enhancing file browsing and navigation options:

Compact List View
The Compact List View provides a condensed and space-efficient representation of your files and folders, designed for users who prefer a streamlined view.
Regular List View
The Regular List View offers a familiar and comprehensive approach to file organization.
Tiles View
The Tiles View introduces a visually appealing and intuitive way to browse your files and folders. In this mode, files and folders are displayed as colorful and resizable tiles, providing a visually engaging experience. Users can preview file contents and relevant details directly within the tiles, allowing for quick identification and navigation. This is particularly beneficial for users who prioritize visual recognition and prefer a visually rich interface.

Trash Bins for Spaces

The Separate Trash Bin for Spaces introduces individual trash bins for each space within your organization’s file system. A space represents a dedicated area where teams collaborate on specific projects, departments, or initiatives. With this feature, accidental file deletions are a thing of the past, as files deleted within a space are now moved to a separate trash bin specific to that space.

Deny Access

The Deny Access feature, which is experimental and not ready for production environments, allows users to share folders with groups, but deny access to a single person in that group. Example: If you share the "Birthday Present" folder with all users in the organization, you want to exclude the one person whose birthday is coming up. This use case is now possible, but not yet production ready and disabled by default. To enable this feature, the variable FRONTEND_OCS_ENABLE_DENIALS needs to be set to to true. Please contact ownCloud Support or give us your feedback via ownCloud Central so that we can finalize this long-awaited feature with the help of your testing.

Other Notable Changes

We added a config option for cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) which, for example, allows running the Web UI on another domain. #5987
We changed the default behavior of shares: Share receivers have no access to versions. People in spaces with the "Editor" or "Manager" role can still see versions and work with them. #5531
With ownCloud Web having transitioned to Vue 3 recently, we would have had to port the settings ui as well. The decision was made to discontinue the settings ui instead. As a result all traces of the settings ui have been removed. The only user facing setting that ever existed in the settings service is now integrated into the account page of ownCloud Web (click on top right user menu, then on your username to reach the account page). #5463
We changed the default behavior of shares: Share receivers have no access to versions. People in spaces with the "Can edit" or "Can manage" role can still see versions and work with them. #5531
To provide more monitoring metrics, we added a debug server to the services "audit", "idm", "userlog", "eventhistory" and "postprocessing". #6178, #6153, #6203, #6202, #6204
You can now send prettier notification emails with HTML templates #6147
Webfinger: If your deployment consists of multiple instances, the webfinger service offers the right instances for the right users so that they can login without having to rember instance specific urls. #5373, #6110
Async postprocessing allows the system to do postprocessing tasks like virusscan, copying of bytes to their final destination, etc. asynchronous to the users request. This is a huge enhancement only available with Infinite Scale! #5207
We introduced a new setting to disable email notifications #6137
The LDAP base DN for new groups is now configurable: The LDAP backend for the Graph service introduced a new config option for setting the Parent DN for new groups created via the /groups/ endpoint. (GRAPH_LDAP_GROUP_CREATE_BASE_DN). It defaults to the value of GRAPH_LDAP_GROUP_BASE_DN. If set to a different value the GRAPH_LDAP_GROUP_CREATE_BASE_DN needs to be a subordinate DN of GRAPH_LDAP_GROUP_BASE_DN. All existing groups with a DN outside the GRAPH_LDAP_GROUP_CREATE_BASE_DN tree will be treated as read-only groups. So it is not possible to edit these groups. In the UI this is indicated via a lock-icon in the administration settings. #5974
Disable login for specific users: This new option in the administration settings allows login to be disabled / enabled for specific users. By setting the accountEnabled property to false for a user via the graph API, users can be disabled (i.e. they can no longer login). #5588
New service eventhistory: It is a service that stores events and provides a grpc API to retrieve them. Users will notice this enhancement by the bell on the top right in the Web UI and the corresponding notifications (ex: if a user receives a share or becomes a member of a space).
New service policies: The policies-service provides a new grpc api which can be used to return whether a requested operation is allowed or not. Open Policy Agent is used to determine the set of rules of what is permitted and what is not.
2 further levels of authorization build on this:
- Proxy Authorization
  The simplest authorization layer is in the proxy, since every request is processed here, only simple decisions that can be processed quickly are made here, more complex queries such as file evaluation are explicitly excluded in this layer.
- Event Authorization (needs async post-processing enabled)
  The next layer is event-based as a pipeline step in asynchronous post-processing, since processing at this point is asynchronous, the operations there can also take longer and be more expensive, the bytes of a file can be examined here as an example.
Since the base block is a GRPC API, it is also possible to use it directly. Policies are written in the rego query language. #5714
Enforce passwords on public links: Added a new config option to enforce passwords on public links with "Uploader,Editor,Contributor" roles. The new options are: OCIS_SHARING_PUBLIC_WRITEABLE_SHARE_MUST_HAVE_PASSWORD,SHARING_PUBLIC_WRITEABLE_SHARE_MUST_HAVE_PASSWORD and FRONTEND_OCS_PUBLIC_WRITEABLE_SHARE_MUST_HAVE_PASSWORD. Check the docs on how to properly set them. #5848
We added the possibility to restrict the creation of public links based on user roles (permission). #5690
Added possibility to assign roles based on OIDC claims: #6048
Default quota based on user role: With this enhancement roles can now be configured with a default quota (eg. Admins should have a default quota of 100GB, Users should have a default quota of 50GB). #5616
Set default quota for project spaces: Additionally to set-space-quota for setting quota on personal spaces we now have Drive.ReadWriteQuota.Project for setting project spaces quota. #5660
Automatically emtpy the trashbin (off per default): Introduction of a new cli command to purge old trash-bin items. #5500

Known Issues

The environment variable OCIS_LDAP_DISABLE_USER_MECHANISM is an option to control the behavior for disabling users. The default value is attribute and requires configuration on the LDAP server. Enabling and disabling users is LDAP implementation specific.
- If you are using an external LDAP server you can either set OCIS_LDAP_DISABLE_USER_MECHANISM to none to disable it completely or to attribute in which case you need to set OCIS_LDAP_USER_ENABLED_ATTRIBUTE according to your external LDAP server’s requirements.
- Additionally and due to a bug recently discovered in the IDP service, you must set OCIS_LDAP_USER_ENABLED_ATTRIBUTE="" to overwrite the default setting when OCIS_LDAP_DISABLE_USER_MECHANISM is set to none. This bug will be fixed in a subsequent release.

Migrations

Please note the Upgrading Infinite Scale documentation.

Breaking Changes

Metadata in MessagePack: Metadata are no longer stored in the xattr of a file, but in a dedicated, more scalable and robust file in the binary MessagePack format. cs3org/reva#3728
The Web UI was updated from Vue.js 2 to Vue.js 3. #7948

Infinite Scale 2.0.0

Infinite Scale 2.0.0 is the first stable release, ready for production scenarios. Infinite Scale bundles with ownCloud Web.

Please find the full list of changes here:

Infinite Scale: Changes in 2.0.0
Web: Changelog for ownCloud Web 6.0.0

Known Issues

This section will be updated if issues are discovered.

Breaking Changes

When upgrading from release candidates:

owncloud/web#6648: Breaks existing bookmarks - they won’t resolve anymore.

A breaking change was introduced for Infinite Scale deployments.

In order to make every ocis storage provider ID unique by default, the use use of a random uuidv4 during ocis init was needed. Existing installations need to set this value explicitly or ocis will terminate after the upgrade.

See the BREAKING CHANGE in ocis deployments description for details.

Beta Releases

Beta 8

Infinite Scale 2.0.0 Beta 8 includes a huge number of smaller bug fixes and polishing all around. It introduces a more efficient and scalable way to store share information and improves the performance of ownCloud Web in many areas very noticeably. Furthermore it is now possible to set user quotas in the UI and administrators can now delete orphaned spaces.

When updating from Infinite Scale Beta 7 or lower to Beta 8 it is necessary to run two migration steps from the previous to the new share manager before starting the system again.

Breaking changes

We are currently in a Tech Preview state and breaking changes may occur at any time. For more information see our release roadmap.

Related: reva#1655

The storage format of the oCIS JSON share driver has changed. You will be affected if you plan to update from a previous version of oCIS to oCIS 1.6.0, you have shared files or folders with users or groups and you are using the oCIS JSON share driver, which is currently the default share driver.

Implications:

manual action required

Our recommended update strategy to oCIS 1.6.0 is:

let users note all their shares with users and groups they set up in oCIS
stop oCIS
move / delete the JSON share driver storage file /var/tmp/ocis/storage/shares.json
update to oCIS 1.6.0
let users recreate their shares

Fixed / changed oCIS metadata storage driver filesystem path

Related: ocis#1956

The filesystem path of the oCIS metadata storage driver has changed (been fixed). You will be affected if you plan to update from a previous version of oCIS to oCIS 1.6.0 and are using the oCIS storage driver for metadata storage.

Implications:

manual action required

Our recommended update strategy to oCIS 1.6.0 is:

let users backup all their data stored in oCIS
stop oCIS
prune all oCIS data in /var/tmp/ocis
update to oCIS 1.6.0
recreate user accounts (can be skipped if an external IDP is used)
let users upload all their data again
let users recreate their shares

If you want to use oCIS 1.6.0 without following our recommended update strategy, you can also keep the pre 1.6.0 behaviour by setting this environment variable:

export STORAGE_SYSTEM_ROOT=/var/tmp/ocis/storage/users

This may lead to faulty behaviour since both the metadata and user storage driver will be storing their data in the same filesystem path.

Infinite Scale 1.5.0 Technology Preview

Version 1.5.0 is a maintenance release for the Infinite Scale backend with a number of bug fixes and smaller improvements. For ownCloud Web it brings further accessibility improvements and a whole bunch of new features. The web interface can now be branded and there is a new, dedicated view in the left sidebar to list all link shares of a user.

The most prominent changes in Infinite Scale 1.5.0 and ownCloud Web 3.0.0 comprise:

Config file based theming for ownCloud Web web#4822
A dedicated view for "Shared by link" has been added web#4881
The file list table has been replaced and is now more performant and accessible web#4627
Many further accessibility improvements have been added, e.g., around the app switcher, sidebar, sharing list and focus management
User storage quotas will now be enforced reva#1557
The "owncloud" storage driver now supports file integrity checking with checksums reva#1629

Infinite Scale 1.4.0 Technology Preview

Version 1.4.0 brings new features, bug fixes and further improvements. The accessibility of ownCloud Web has greatly improved, paving the way for WCAG 2.1 compliance. The Infinite Scale platform has received major improvements regarding memory consumption. The user storage quota feature has been implemented and folder sizes are now properly calculated. It is now possible to write log messages to log files and to specify configuration values using a config file.

The most prominent changes in Infinite Scale 1.4.0 and ownCloud Web 2.1.0 comprise:

ownCloud Web is now able to use pre-signed url downloads for password protected shares core#38376
Reduced the memory consumption of the runtime drastically (by a factor of 24) ocis#1762
Initial quota support to impose storage space restrictions for users (query / set) reva#1405
Folder sizes are now calculated correctly (tree size accounting) reva#1405
Added the possibility to write the log to a file with the option to write separated log files by service ocis#1816

Changed oCIS storage driver file layout

Related: reva#1452

Despite a breaking change in the oCIS storage driver file layout, data is not automatically migrated. You will be affected if you plan to update from a previous version of oCIS to oCIS 1.4.0 and are using the oCIS storage driver, which is currently the default storage driver.

Implications:

manual action required

Our recommended update strategy to oCIS 1.4.0 is:

let users backup all their data stored in oCIS
stop oCIS
prune all oCIS data in /var/tmp/ocis
update to oCIS 1.4.0
recreate user accounts (can be skipped if an external IDP is used)
let users upload all their data again
let users recreate their shares

If you already updated to oCIS 1.4.0 without our recommended update strategy you will see no data in oCIS anymore, even after a downgrade to your previous version of oCIS. But be assured that your data is still there.

You have to follow these steps to be able to access your data again in oCIS:

stop oCIS
navigate to /var/tmp/ocis/storage/users/nodes/root/
in this directory you will find directories with UUID as names. These are the home folders of the oCIS users. In the ones with content your oCIS users uploaded to oCIS.
create an temporary directory e.g. /tmp/dereferenced-ocis-storage
copy the data from oCIS to the temporary directory while dereferencing symlinks. On Linux you can do this by running cp --recursive --dereference /var/tmp/ocis/storage/users/nodes/root/ /tmp/dereferenced-ocis-storage
you now have a backup of all users data in /tmp/dereferenced-ocis-storage and can follow our recommended update strategy above

Infinite Scale 1.3.0 Technology Preview

Version 1.3.0 is a regular maintenance and bugfix release. It provides the latest improvements to users and administrators.

Infinite Scale 1.1.0 Technology Preview

Version 1.1.0 is a hardening and patch release. It ships with the latest version of ownCloud Web and brings a couple of minor improvements. The minor version increase is needed due to non-backwards compatible changes in configuration. The documentation has been updated to reflect the changes. Please note that this version is still a Technology Preview and not suited for production use.

The most prominent changes in Infinite Scale 1.1.0 and ownCloud Web 1.0.1 comprise:

Performance and stability improvements for installations with multiple concurrent users
Simplified configuration by introducing the new environment variable OCIS_URL
Beta release of ownCloud performance scripts
Update ownCloud web to v1.0.1
Update reva to v1.5.1

You can also read the full Infinite Scale changelog for further details on what has changed.

Infinite Scale 1.0.0 Technology Preview

We are pleased to announce the availability of Infinite Scale 1.0.0 Technology Preview which is released as the first public version of the new Infinite Scale platform.

Microservice architecture

Infinite Scale is following the microservices architectural pattern. It is implemented as a set of microservices which are independent of each other. They are coupled with well-defined APIs. This architecture fosters a lot of benefits that we were aiming for with the new design for oCIS:

Every service is independent, comparably small and brings it’s own webserver, backend/APIs and frontend components
Each service runs as a separate service on the system, increasing security and stability
Scalability: High performance demands can be fulfilled by scaling and distributing of services
Testability: Each service can be tested on its own due to well-defined APIs and functionality
Protocol-driven development using protobuf
High-performance communication between services through gRPC
Multi-platform support powered by Golang - only minimal dependency on platform packages
Cloud-native deployment, update, monitoring, logging, tracing and orchestration strategies

Key figures

The all-new ownCloud Web frontend is shipped as part of the platform
OpenID Connect is the future-proof technology choice for authentication
An Identity Provider is bundled to ease deployment and operations. It can be replaced with an external OpenID IdP, if desired
Automatically built and fully maintained Docker containers are available
Flexible configuration through environment variables, config files or command-line flags
Database-less architecture - metadata and data are kept together in the storage as a single source of truth
Native storage capabilities are used where like native versioning and trashbin
Public APIs like WebDAV and OCS have been kept compatible with ownCloud 10
A secure and flexible framework to create extensions

Supported platforms

Linux-amd64
Darwin-amd64
Experimental: Windows, ARM (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Termux on Android)

Client support

All official ownCloud Clients support the Infinite Scale server with the following versions:

Desktop >= 2.7
Android >= 2.15
iOS >= 1.2

Architecture components

Infinite Scale is built as a modular framework in which components can be scaled individually. It consists of

a user management service
a settings service
a frontend service
a storage backend service
a built-in IdP
an application gateway/proxy

These components can be deployed in a multi-tier deployment architecture. See the developer documentation for an overview of the services.

Operation modes

Standalone mode (with oCIS storage driver)

In standalone mode oCIS uses its built-in orchestrator to start all necessary services. This allows you to run oCIS on a single node without any outside dependencies like docker-compose, kubernetes or even a webserver. It will start an OpenID IdP and create a self-signed certificate. You can start right away by navigating to https://localhost:9200

Single services scaleout

oCIS allows you to scale individual services using well-known orchestration frameworks like docker-compose, dockerSwarm and kubernetes.

Bridge mode with ownCloud 10 backend

For the product transition phase, Infinite Scale comes with an operation mode ("bridge mode") that allows a hybrid deployment, between both server generations to operate the new web frontend with ownCloud 10 and Infinite Scale in parallel. This setup allows the ownCloud Web frontend to operate with both server generations and provides the foundation to migrate users gradually to the new backend.

Requirements for the bridge mode

ownCloud Server >= 10.6
Open ID Connect is used for user authentication
The Graph API app is installed on ownCloud Server
The latest client versions are rolled-out to users (required for OpenID Connect support). See the documentation for more information.

See the documentation on how to deploy Infinite Scale in bridge mode.

Technology Preview

Infinite Scale is currently in Technology Preview. The bridge mode should only be used in non-production environments.

What to expect?

This is the first promoted public release of Infinite Scale, released as "Technical Preview". Infinite Scale is not yet ready for production installations. Technical audiences will be able to get a good understanding of the potential of ownCloud’s new platform.

Version 1.0.0 comes with the base functionality for sync and share with a much higher performance-, stability- and security-level compared to all available platforms. Based on ten years of experience in enterprise sync and share and a long standing collaboration with the biggest global science organizations this new platform will exceed what content collaboration is today.

How to get started?

One of the most important objectives for oCIS was to ease the setup of a working instance dramatically. Since oCIS is built with Google’s powerful Go language it supports the single-file-deployment: Installing oCIS 1.0.0 is as easy as downloading a single file, applying execution permission to it and get started. No more fiddling around with complicated LAMP stacks.

Deployment Options

Given the architecture of Infinite Scale, there are various deployment options based on the users requirements. In our experience setting up the LAMP stack for ownCloud 10 was difficult for many users. Therefore a big emphasis was put on easy yet functional deployment strategies.

Delivery as single binary

The single binary is the best option to test the new Infinite Scale 1.0.0 Technical Preview release on a local machine. Follow these instructions to get the platform running in the most simple way:

Download the binary
Linux
curl https://download.owncloud.com/ocis/ocis/1.0.0/ocis-1.0.0-linux-amd64 -o ocis
MacOS
curl https://download.owncloud.com/ocis/ocis/1.0.0/ocis-1.0.0-darwin-amd64 -o ocis
Make it executable
chmod +x ocis
Run it
./ocis server
Navigate to https://localhost:9200 and log in to ownCloud Web (admin:admin)

Production environments will need a more sophisticated setup, see deployment for more information.

Containerized Setup

For more sophisticated setups we recommend using one of our docker setup examples. See the documentation for a setup with Traefik as a reverse proxy which also includes automated SSL certificate provisioning using Letsencrypt tools.

oCIS Backend Features

Storage

The default oCIS storage driver deconstructs a filesystem to be able to efficiently look up files by fileid as well as path. It stores all folders and files by a uuid and persists share and other metadata using extended attributes. This allows using the linux VFS cache using stat syscalls instead of a database or key/value store. The driver implements trash, versions and sharing. It not only serves as the current default storage driver, but also as a blueprint for future storage driver implementations.

User and group management

Functionality available via API and frontend ("Accounts" extension)
User listing (API/FE)
User creation (API/FE)
User deletion (API/FE)
User activation/blocking (API/FE)
Role assignment for users (API/FE)
User editing (API)
Multi-select in the frontend (delete & block/activate)
Group creation (API)
Add/remove users to/from groups (API)
Group deletion (API)
Create/read/update/delete users and groups (CLI)

Settings

The settings service provides APIs for other services for registering a set of settings as Bundle. It also provides a pluggable extension for ownCloud Web which provides dynamically built web forms, so that users can customize their own settings. Some well known settings are directly used by ownCloud Web for adapted user experience, e.g. the UI language. Services can query the users' chosen settings for customized backend and frontend operations as needed.

Roles & Permissions System

Infinite Scale follows a role-based access control model. Based on permissions for actions which are provided by the system and by extensions, roles can be composed. Ultimately, these roles can be assigned to users to define what users are permitted to do. This model allows a segregation of duties for administration and allows granular control of how different types of users (e.g., Guests) can use the platform.

Currently available permissions: Manage accounts (gives access to the internal user management), manage roles (allows assigning roles to users)
The current roles are exemplary default roles which are used for demonstration purposes
- "Admin": Has the permissions to "manage accounts" and to "manage roles"
- "User": Does not have any dedicated permission
- "Guest": Does not have any dedicated permission
Currently a user can only have one role
Users with the role "Admin" can assign/unassign roles to/from other users (as part of the permission to "manage roles")

APIs

WebDAV
OCS

Known issues

There are feature differences depending on the operation mode, e.g., no user management with ownCloud Web and oC 10 backend
Public links do not yet respect the given role (a recipient has full permissions no matter which role has been set)
Resharing does not yet work as expected
- Share recipients can create public links with higher permissions than they originally had
- Share recipients can add other people but they will not be able to access the data
Sharing indicators in the file list will only be shown after opening the right sidebar for a resource
Users can’t change their password yet
Folder sizes will not be calculated
Cleanups are not yet available (e.g., shares of a deleted user will not be removed)
Sharing from the desktop client does not work yet
There are no notifications yet
There can be issues with access tokens not being refreshed correctly, leading to interruptions, e.g., during uploads
Deleting non-empty folders from the trash bin does not work
Emptying the whole trash bin does not work
