Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea? (buddyverse.one)

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!

OCIS is bad for third party integration. OCIS force the use of OIDC with no workaround since the launch of OCIS few years ago.

For example, owncloud claims that it can integrate with rclone. Owncloud suggest the use of OIDC-agent which is very complicated. It also suggest enable the use of Basic Authentication which is bad for security.

They are working on the ability to create app password but the progress is very slow. Related GitHub issue here.

Personally I prefer oidc as it plays a central role in my setup, but have you seen other integration issues not related to oidc?

Thank you so much for the information. Third party integration is very important in the long run.
