  • Bokudrive – Sync and Share Online Storage
    BOKU-IT BOKUdrive – Sync and Share Online Storage At https://drive.boku.ac.at members of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences have access to a modern Sync and Share online storage facility. The data of this online storage are stored on servers and in data centers of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences. The solution is technically based on the free software "Seafile". Users can access their data via a web interface or synchronize via desktop and mobile clients. Seafile offers similar features to popular online services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. The main difference is that Seafile can be installed as open source software on its own servers and its data is stored completely on servers and in data centers of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences.

  • File Synchronization As a Way to Add Quality Metadata to Research Data
    File Synchronization as a Way to Add Quality Metadata to Research Data Master Thesis - Master in Library and Information Science (MALIS) Faculty of Information Science and Communication Studies - Technische Hochschule Köln Presented by: Ubbo Veentjer on: September 27, 2016 to: Dr. Peter Kostädt (First Referee) Prof. Dr. Andreas Henrich (Second Referee) License: Creative-Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) Abstract Research data which is put into long term storage needs to have quality metadata attached so it may be found in the future. Metadata facilitates the reuse of data by third parties and makes it citable in new research contexts and for new research questions. However, better tools are needed to help the researchers add metadata and prepare their data for publication. These tools should integrate well in the existing research workflow of the scientists, to allow metadata enrichment even while they are creating, gathering or collecting the data. In this thesis an existing data publication tool from the project DARIAH-DE was connected to a proven file synchronization software to allow the researchers prepare the data from their personal computers and mobile devices and make it ready for publication. The goal of this thesis was to find out whether the use of file synchronization software eases the data publication process for the researchers. Forschungsadaten, die langfristig gespeichert werden sollen, benötigen qualitativ hochwertige Meta- daten um wiederauffindbar zu sein. Metadaten ermöglichen sowohl die Nachnutzung der Daten durch Dritte als auch die Zitation in neuen Forschungskontexten und unter neuen Forschungsfragen. Daher werden bessere Werkzeuge benötigt um den Forschenden bei der Metadatenvergabe und der Vorbereitung der Publikation zu unterstützen.

For the example, the base we will create will be another Clouder. Odoo installation This guide will not cover the Odoo installation in itself, we suggest you read the installation documentation on the official website. You can also, and it’s probably the easier way, use an Odoo Docker image like https://hub.docker.com/ _/odoo/ or https://hub.docker.com/r/tecnativa/odoo-base/ Due to the extensive use of ssh, Clouder is only compatible with Linux. Once your Odoo installation is ready, install the paramiko, erppeek and apache-libcloud python libraries (pip install paramiko erppeek apache-libcloud), download the OCA/Connector module on Github and the Clouder modules on Github and add them in your addons directory, then install the clouder module and clouder_template_odoo (this module will install a lot of template dependencies, like postgres, postfix etc...).

  • Storage Back-Ends for Scalable Sync & Share Based on Seafile
    Storage back-ends for Scalable Sync & Share based on Seafile Maciej Brzeźniak, Krzysztof Wadówka, Paweł Woszuk, Norbert Meyer HPC Department, Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center Jana Pawła II 10, 61-139 Poznań, Poland {maciekb,kwadowka,pwoszuk,meyer}@man.poznan.pl Abstract. In our paper we analyse scalability of the storage back-ends for Seafile, an efficient and reliable sync & share solution. Our considerations are conducted in the light of the requirements of the countrywide sync & share service deployed by PSNC for Polish academic community. We target large user base holding millions of files. We must also address high demand on efficiency for both large audience use cases and demanding scientific applications. In the paper we present and analyse the results of the benchmarks of the Seafile servers with GPFS and Ceph back-ends and draw conclusions related to the storage systems selection and setup for the large-scale storage service. Introduction also provides block storage volumes for many OpenStack With the growing data volumes handled by institutions installations (through the RBD client). and individuals, providing efficient and reliable data Seafile supports various back-ends including GPFS (POSIX management becomes challenging. Analyst companies, plugin) and Ceph (librados plugin). The decision on including IDC, predict that by 2020 IT professionals will choosing and configuring storage system for the projected store 1.2TB per person in average. In fact power users of scale is not trivial. While data storage and access our sync & share service, e.g. physicists at Adam performance is an obvious measure, cost efficiency and Mickiewicz University in Poznań, already store 500+GB of maintenance complexity aspects have also to be taken into data per account.

  • Enabling Interoperable Data and Application Services in a Federated Sciencemesh
    EPJ Web of Conferences 251, 02041 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/202125102041 CHEP 2021 Enabling interoperable data and application services in a federated ScienceMesh 1, 1 1 1 Ishank Arora ∗, Samuel Alfageme Sainz , Pedro Ferreira , Hugo Gonzalez Labrador , and Jakub Moscicki1 1CERN, 1 Esplanade des Particules, Meyrin, Switzerland Abstract. In recent years, cloud sync & share storage services, provided by academic and research institutions, have become a daily workplace envi- ronment for many local user groups in the High Energy Physics (HEP) com- munity. These, however, are primarily disconnected and deployed in isolation from one another, even though new technologies have been developed and inte- grated to further increase the value of data. The EU-funded CS3MESH4EOSC project is connecting locally and individually provided sync and share services, and scaling them up to the European level and beyond. It aims to deliver the ScienceMesh service, an interoperable platform to easily sync and share data across institutions and extend functionalities by connecting to other research services using streamlined sets of interoperable protocols, APIs and deploy- ment methodologies. This supports multiple distributed application workflows: data science environments, collaborative editing and data transfer services. In this paper, we present the architecture of ScienceMesh and the technical de- sign of its reference implementation, a platform that allows organizations to join the federated service infrastructure easily and to access application services out- of-the-box. We discuss the challenges faced during the process, which include diversity of sync & share platforms (Nextcloud, Owncloud, Seafile and others), absence of global user identities and user discovery, lack of interoperable proto- cols and APIs, and access control and protection of data endpoints.
