Memory cache configuration for the ownCloud server is no longer automatic in
ownCloud 8.1 and up, but must be installed and configured. See
:doc:`caching_configuration`.
Using MariaDB/MySQL instead of SQLite
-------------------------------------
MySQL or MariaDB are preferred because of the `performance limitations of
SQLite with highly concurrent applications
<http://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html>`_, like ownCloud.
See the section :doc:`../configuration_database/linux_database_configuration` for how to
configure ownCloud for MySQL or MariaDB. If your installation is already running on
SQLite then it is possible to convert to MySQL or MariaDB using the steps provided
in :doc:`../configuration_database/db_conversion`.
SSL / Encryption App
--------------------
SSL (HTTPS) and file encryption/decryption can be offloaded to a processor's
AES-NI extension. This can both speed up these operations while lowering
processing overhead. This requires a processor with the `AES-NI instruction set
<http://wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set>`_.
Here are some examples how to check if your CPU / environment supports the
AES-NI extension:
* For each CPU core present: ``grep flags /proc/cpuinfo`` or as a summary for
all cores: ``grep -m 1 ^flags /proc/cpuinfo`` If the result contains any
``aes``, the extension is present.
* Search eg. on the Intel web if the processor used supports the extension
`Intel Processor Feature Filter
<http://ark.intel.com/MySearch.aspx?AESTech=true>`_ You may set a filter by
``"AES New Instructions"`` to get a reduced result set.
* For versions of openssl >= 1.0.1, AES-NI does not work via an engine and
will not show up in the ``openssl engine`` command. It is active by default
on the supported hardware. You can check the openssl version via ``openssl
version -a``
* If your processor supports AES-NI but it does not show up eg via grep or
coreinfo, it is maybe disabled in the BIOS.
* If your environment runs virtualized, check the virtualization vendor for
support.
