Nextcloud -> Owncloud (ocis) (infosec.pub)

My Nextcloud instance broke again-again a month ago where the iOS app could not connect anymore… No helpful error code or message. I have never really been satisfied with their products, it always seemed slow and buggy and they have thousands of open issues on their repos. I used it for photos, online file storage/sharing and for messaging / video chat. I have now replaced it with Owncloud + Immich + Signal (not self hosted) and i’m very satisfied. Owncloud is just way snappier and no bugs so far. Docs are ok, though a little hard to search in and you constantly have to be aware, that the docs might only be relevant for their prior php-implementation. I followed this guide:

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.

Why did you use NextCloud over OwnCloud? Same reasons apply
