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
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.
