Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox clone 2.0

I tried ownCloud recently on a Raspberry Pi and found it dog slow. I'm not sure if I just found it at a bad time, or if it requires some more serious hardware, but it wasn't usable for me personally.

Make sure to install and activate php-apc (or some other accelerator).

While I don't have an RPi myself, a colleague of mine had his ownCloud instance go from dog slow to usable with that simple change.

The biggest factor I found was to turn off ajax-based workers and switch to cron. Also, disable any apps you aren't using.

Also, use MySQL instead of sqlite (This applies to ownCloud servers in general, too)
