Anyone tested and can tell the diffrence compared to Nextcloud?
People keep saying it performs miles better than Nextcloud (which performs like shit in my experience, even on capable hardware). But I haven't tried OwnCloud yet.
Nextcloud does perform horrible, but i threw any extension at it i thought was useful.
ownClouds new microservice solution might solve that, but i can't confirm it yet, of course it's fast as a rocket now, it lacks features left and right
it lacks features left and right
That's a bummer. IMO, one of Nextcloud's biggest advantages is that it bundles so much functionality into a single application.
Does it have a sync application for Windows that handles virtual files?
Less bug, doesn't lose its shit when you're syncing millions of files... no constant JavaScript errors in your browser's console lol
I'm running latest version of normal owncloud in a docker container. Is there any advantage in using infinite scale oc? Not sure what the difference actually is
I successfully spun up an instance now, took me some fiddling, but that's me not knowing docker-compose too good,
You don't need a database, it's not using SQL, and they separate everything in different layers and microservices.
Compared to PHP ownCloud and Nextcloud this does feel like the next gen.
For better or for worse, i have yet to find out.
I see what you mean, all their docker compose examples are horrible. not one simple deployment, like they want to make it as complicated as possible
thanks for the insight!
Hello. I'm a bit late to the party but would you mind sharing your working example ?
Whenever I hear Infinity Scale I think it is a new Marvel movie.
I'm running Nextcloud but am curious about Infinite Scale. Does it handle local external storage (e.g. usb storage) in a similar way?
This looks nice, I'd like to try it soon. I have a Nextcloud instance setup on my mini pc, but I don't know if it's my mini pc (audiobookshelf for instance runs with no problems), but NextCloud is just really slow.
Why is OwnCloud still trying to be a thing?
Because there is enough room for both and competition is good, in case Nextcloud goes south
I'm not into the topic too much, is Nextcloud the obvious alternative?
There was moral disagreement between the ownCloud company and the developers, so the main developers forked it and created NextCloud.
To be more exact, ownCloud started as a community first project and they did pivot to a more enterprise facing project, starting to pack features behind a paywall and so on.
ownCloud Infinite Scale is almost a complete rewrite in Go instead of PHP, which is something very welcoming, because my instance starts to have subpar performance, i will test and find out if it's worth the hype.
starting to pack features behind a paywall and so on.
Are you aware of what features are those exactly besides SSO/SAML? Their page doesn't show much information.

The guy who founded owncloud (Frank), sold it to american venture capitalists. When Frank didn't like how the VCs were planning to enshittify Owncloud, he forked the project and moved it back to Germany from Boston.
The American VCs saw this, realized they couldn't exploit the software anymore, so they sold Owncloud to a group of German businessmen. Ironically for Frank there are now two german owned non-VC backed cloud software based on the same code. But yeah they're taking different strategic paths for growth.

Yeah because Nextcloud is a fucking joke of a product.
