  Seemi like the company never learns about governance XD Also, Kiteworks tried to threaten dev that left owncloud for open loud

  Cool, i never really understood/knew the reasons for the Nextcloud fork. When you say ‘we’, does it mean you are affiliated with opencloud? What would my reasons be to use opencloud over owncloud?

    The reason as I understand is better performance and reliability, by ditching PHP which is what causes most of Nextclouds problems.

    • Not affiliated.
    • Why did you use NextCloud over OwnCloud? Same reasons apply

  I don’t think this is the same thing.

  Opencloud.eu seems to have been started so they could offer hosting services to EU clients and essentially compete with MS teams and others. You can download and run their version directly. This isn’t a fork the way that opencloud > nextcloud was a change in governance.

  OCIS seems to have a great open source product that I’m also hoping to switch over to. I’ve been trying to get it connected to my authentik SSO (which I have) and just need to figure out how to get admin users on authentik to show up as admin users on ocis.

  That’s the last thing I need to migrate over fully.

  I used to be on owncloud then switched to nextcloud at the fork. In all that time through 3 different servers nextcloud has always been the most brittle app I’ve hosted

    Their website doesn’t link to their git repo, but it exists: github.com/opencloud-eu

    I was just relaying how the OpenCloud people explained it to me at Froscon this year

  So, opencloud doesn’t try to “check all the boxes” and, instead, tries to be the best it can at personal cloud file hosting? Did I understand their site properly?
