Proposal for a client-initiated journal transfer

Workflow

  • The server XO would make available its shares available via WebDAV, running in the context of "httpd" service.
  • The client XO would connect to the server XO via its browser.
  • Therafter, "Browse" would take over.


Details

  • Setting up WebDAV on a server XO.
    • Install package "httpd".
    • Generate openssl "server.crt" and "server.key".
       cd /etc/ssl/certs/
       sudo openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout ssl.key -out ssl.crt
    • Configure "/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf" to setup the WebDAV share. Sample file : ssl.conf



In a server-initiated operation, the server is responsible for adequate delivery to all the clients, whatever the number may be. In a client-initiated operation, each client is responsible for herself only.
