adding open_web_apps app back in

[michielbdejong]

there are still some things that can be improved, but at least this app is working with the latest OC again, so I'll reopen this. this app replaces the remoteStorage app.

what does "Waiting to hear about cbfa9c7 — Merged build triggered." mean? should i rebase this pull request from master and resubmit it?

[DeepDiver1975]

@michielbdejong @jancborchardt what's the plan for this app? I guess we will not ship it within the owncloud community bundle. How will people install this app? At the end via the app store - right?

@michielbdejong I see you already maintain this app in your own repo. From my understanding there is no reason to maintain a copy in the owncloud apps repo.

Do I miss anything? THX

[michielbdejong]

oh ok in that case please at least delete the old remoteStorage app to avoid confusion. so i should submit my app to the store instead, then?

[jancborchardt]

@michielbdejong yep, submit it in the store instead.

I’ll close this here then, removal of the obsolete remoteStorage app is handled with pull request #1500

@michielbdejong Did you submit the app to the store?

[michielbdejong]

@sdaves no, not yet. let me have a look at that, thanks for the reminder!

[sdaves]

Awesome! I can't wait to run remotestorage on my owncloud. Let me know if I can help. I have read all of your unhosted.org website and am a huge fan of unhosted apps.

@sdaves nice, thanks!

well, there are several things to be aware of which mean using this app is not as simple as it sounds. first, there is no mapping between ownCloud data and remoteStorage data. so ownCloud contacts will not show up as remoteStorage contacts. second, it doesn't work with Apache, because Apache is unable to send cross-origin 304 responses. third, you need to run it on a separate port (other than port 443 if that is where your ownCloud instance runs). and fourth, because of all these limitations, nobody is actually using it, people tend to use reStore instead. you can run ownCloud and reStore side-by-side on the same server, that's the recommended setup here.

so the app exists, i had it working at the time, and it's open source, so you're free to try to install it, but i would advise to install reStore instead.

@michielbdejong with all these advisories, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to publish it in the store. I would rather have a statement in the ownCloud docs (and on the remoteStorage website) stating the limitations and why it is not possible.

@michielbdejong would it be possible to make it run using the standard owncloud setup? I wouldn't mind doing some development if you could outline what needs done.

@sdaves we have a related Google Summer of Code project for that by the way: https://github.com/owncloud/core/wiki/Project%20ideas#owncloud-as-backend-for-web-apps if you’re interested. :) Application deadline is in a few days.
