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!

Not sure what you mean by expects oauth.

I've been testing it and it works very well so far in my tests with just a normal user name and password to login.

I've actually been meaning to work on getting oauth connected to my authentik but haven't gotten around to it yet

So far the server seems very solid and the clients for android and windows also seem very good.

My bad, I meant the recommended deployment is to bring your own auth provider, but normal username/password is fine too. Glad it works!
