ownCloud Infinite Scale

Never a bad idea to have alternatives to Nextcloud on here.

S3 stores

A long time ago I used an S3 as backend storage (the one by Exoscale) with Nextcloud (12, if I remember well) but it didn't work very well.

Also during the same period, one of my colleague did some performance test and the conclusion was the slowness issues was more due to interaction with MySQL and seams to be less with PostgreSQL

Cloudron have alternative to Nextcloud
While it depend what you install in your Nextcloud
for the:

• file sync you have Syncthing
• calendar/contact you have: SOGo and Radicale
  ...

@jodumont syncthing doesn’t quite do what Nextcloud does. It is a decentralized file sync server where Nextcloud is a self hosted file storage cloud. They are not competitors no matter how much I look at it and ownCloud is the alternative I am looking for. I can figure out the other bits (calendar, contacts, etc.)

not a competitor for sure, but where I find the similarity is in the result: having same files on differents devices

@jodumont biggest drawback is still the absence of an iOS app

[A Former User]

@jodumont I guess I’m more concerned with finding something that mimics the experience as well as the result.

@necrevistonnezr yes.

thank for pointing it out, while I'm essentially using Android and Linux I prefer choosing solution which support a broader kind of OS (Windows/MacOS/IOS).

I saw you are in Computer Engineer
you might want to read about how the CERN use ownCloud
they really pushed the limit of ownCloud (before Nextcloud appear)

One thing I’m hoping Infinite Scale will do is make it more affordable for us as a small business to run our own cloud server, by way of better efficiency and performance. Sounds like that’s on the cards.

But the competition on this front is peer-to-peer, such as Resilio and Anytype.io

@christiaan I am also very much hoping that in comparison to Nextcloud, they stick to the use-case of file syncing and do that well. This I find is still a bit lacking out there.

I've been repeatedly told that this is indeed what they want to do

[christiaan]

Is it time?

[nebulon]

@christiaan this still seems to be the php version in those release tarballs

[christiaan]

@nebulon my mistake, I should have posted this link to 1.0.0:
https://owncloud.github.io/ocis/getting-started/

[fbartels]

The 10.6 version of the php server can also optionally install the new web ui.

[nebulon]

I have locally checked the go version and it appears to work (since it is go it is essentially a single binary, which is very nice) However it looks like to some early version with no settings and very limited features, also I couldn't figure out how to sync from the desktop or so.

I guess we have to give this a bit more time to settle, but looks very promising already.

[christiaan]

@nebulon okay, yes, they're calling it a Tech Preview. With any luck they'll have something ready for production this quarter.

@nebulon Do you have a Repo where you set it up to run on Cloudron? I tried to make a package and encountered this error when starting it:
