I’m running latest version of normal owncloud in a docker container. Is there any advantage in using infinite scale oc? Not sure what the difference actually is
I successfully spun up an instance now, took me some fiddling, but that’s me not knowing docker-compose too good,
You don’t need a database, it’s not using SQL, and they separate everything in different layers and microservices.
Compared to PHP ownCloud and Nextcloud this does feel like the next gen.
For better or for worse, i have yet to find out.
Hello. I’m a bit late to the party but would you mind sharing your working example ?
I see what you mean, all their docker compose examples are horrible. not one simple deployment, like they want to make it as complicated as possible
Why is OwnCloud still trying to be a thing?
Because there is enough room for both and competition is good, in case Nextcloud goes south
I’m not into the topic too much, is Nextcloud the obvious alternative?
There was moral disagreement between the ownCloud company and the developers, so the main developers forked it and created NextCloud.
The guy who founded owncloud (Frank), sold it to american venture capitalists. When Frank didn’t like how the VCs were planning to enshittify Owncloud, he forked the project and moved it back to Germany from Boston. The American VCs saw this, realized they couldn’t exploit the software anymore, so they sold Owncloud to a group of German businessmen. Ironically for Frank there are now two german owned non-VC backed cloud software based on the same code. But yeah they’re taking different strategic paths for growth.
