Hi everyone,

I’m seriously thinking about moving from Nextcloud AIO to OwnCloud Infinite Scale (OCIS), and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Here’s why I’m considering the switch:

  1. I need software that’s stable and doesn’t break after every update.
  2. Minimal maintenance is a priority for me.
  3. A solution that works out of the box with minimal setup complexity.
  4. Support for Docker Compose deployment.
  5. Support for S3 storage as the primary storage backend.

What I like about OCIS:

  1. It’s written in Go (which I prefer over PHP).
  2. It doesn’t require a database, simplifying setup and maintenance. (Not sure about it)

However, I’m still hesitant due to:

  1. The limited documentation for OCIS.
  2. Concerns about whether it’s as open-source friendly as Nextcloud.

While I’ve been using Nextcloud Talk, I find it slow and unstable, so I’m planning to transition to XMPP. That said, Nextcloud itself has been challenging to maintain, and I’m looking for something faster and more reliable.

For those who have experience with OCIS, would you recommend switching, or should I stick with Nextcloud despite its issues?

Thanks in advance for your input!

      First, nothing. But I run just my private containers and update them automatically with watchtower. I like it when I could don’t care about things. OCIS was one of the freaky ones. Breaking changes are literally breaking everything. I lose the data and start over two or three times. (The data wasn’t completely lost, I had backups and/or was able to use an older version instead.)
