Today, US based file sync & share vendor Kiteworks announced their acquisition of ownCloud and Dracoon. Nextcloud offers a free hands on migration service and takes over the remaining runtime of the contracts. Migration is a very quick and easy process, as shown by the many hundreds that have done this already over the last years.
It’ll be dead in a year. Most development moved to NC with the lead devs that forked it, Owncloud has been stagnant for years now. It’s like using OpenOffice.
Yes but NC sucks.
Well, that’s sure specific enough to not be useful at all.
If you’re talking about performance, it’s usually because people aren’t using redis and postgres with it. If that’s too hard to set up manually, then use the AIO docker-compose mastercontainer, it’s dead simple to install and update. Frankly, I’d recommend this for nearly anyone that isn’t using it for an enterprise environment, and maybe even then too.
When you mention Postgres, are you saying PG specifically is better, or are you implying that the default SQLite db is what really slows things down? I ask because I’m on mariadb with no complaints, but might switch if NC is faster on Postgres.
It is definitely faster on Postgres. I prefer MariaDB for ease of administration, but NC definitely benefits from postgres. Also, redis helps out a lot.
If you aren’t on the AIO container, seriously consider it. It seems like that’s the way they’re going, and there’s facility for addons (https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/tree/main/community-containers) that you can enable. I’ve put in a request for PGAdmin to be made a part of the community containers. I would do a PR and maintain that but I’m not familiar enough with their plugin setup to risk it.
BTW, could you do with another mod? Because besides you (and Ruud), the mod team is pretty much AFK.
