FAQ

How do I get ownCloud?

There are many resources on the internet, showing you how to run your own copy of ownCloud. The following article provides a quick roundup: https://blog.entwicklerbier.org/2014/06/setting-up-owncloud-on-speed/

I can't connect. Do I really have to use SSL/TLS?

Short answer: yes. Please read our comment on Entwicklerbier.org for more information.

I can't connect via SSL. How do I add (self-signed) certificates?

Use the android Security Settings to add self-signed certificates. Open your Settings, browse to Security and add them there. You can find more information on this feature at google dev.

Do you know any cheap SSL certificates?

If you don't want to use self-signed certificates you can get one for free (for non-profit purposes only) at StartSSL. If you can spend money, we suggest you to take a look at CheapSSLsecurity. Please note that we are not affiliated with those companies in any way. We just want to help you finding cheap certificates.

I have my own certificate. However, it is not working.

One of the most common errors is a wrong certificate chain. Please use SSLlabs to check if your certificate chain is in order. If it isn't look up the manual of your webserver. We also wrote an article for Setting up owncloud on Speed.
