I have ownCloud running on a decidedly unsuitable wheezy old netbook
(Eee PC 1000HA) under Ubuntu 15.10.  The only thing I particularly
remember about the installation was having to fiddle around with
self-signed SSL certificates.

I mainly sync the calendars between phone and my main laptop, plus a
small number of small files which I don't have in Git.  I just switch on
the laptop when I think something needs syncing.  I backup the ownCloud
directory on the nettop to a USB drive attached to the router using the
standard Ubuntu backup program (duplicity, I think).  I actually think
that only having to backup a single machine is one of the main
advantages of ownCloud.

YMMV depending on what exactly you need to sync, but it works for me,
although I should probably move it to something like a Rasperry Pi,
which I could leave on.

Cheers,
