So I recently tried out OpenCloud and the experience has been... quite smooth. Easy to setup with docker compose, the webui is minimal and blazingly fast. The keycloak sso integration is pretty neat, too.

Went with nextcloud for the past few years and has been through all sorts of issues, constant crash and database corruption, and it's laggy as hell. Now I just want something simple, fast and reliable, and OpenCloud seems to do just that.

The major downside is lack of mobile and desktop apps (for now) , but it looks pretty promising to me. Have anyone else gave it a try, what are your thoughts?

I get by with just using filebrowser and syncthing.

I offload my syncthing folders over NFS if they get too big, which is another reason why I don't bother with Nextcloud. If I wanted to pull down my entire Wikipedia backup or a ROM directory, I'd just move the file/folder into my server's Documents folder and wait a while for it to sync.
