It allows on-the-fly generation of tar files without requiring the entire archive to be held in memory, making it suitable for serving large file downloads from web applications. The library is used internally by ownCloud Server to support archive downloads. Part of Classic (OC10) ---------------------- [](#part-of-classic-oc10) TarStreamer is a supporting library used by [ownCloud Server (Classic)](https://github.com/owncloud/core) for streaming tar archive downloads. It is distributed as a Composer package and integrated into the ownCloud Server via its dependency chain. This component is included in the [ownCloud Server Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/owncloud/server).
