It isn't obvious at a first glance, but this is a fork of ocis (i.e., ownCloud's Go rewrite). It is hosted on Github(https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud). They don't really provide any info on how/what is different from ocis that I could find.
My university uses SharePoint to upload course classes material, and it's slow and buggy as fuck. Every minute spent using SharePoint, I'd rather it be spent in being kicked in the balls. Every interaction I have with SharePoint is frustrating, it's one of the worst thing that happened to my life and I was happy before this software.
Honestly it's a bit of a shame because there's so many little things that SharePoint does right that I immediately miss when going to another product. Lists alone, much less the combined portfolio of Lists + Pages + Power automate is such an amazing power user combination that I can't find a viable replacement for in GSuite/Atlassian/virtually anywhere else. It really is too bad that the core Document Libraries module is so lacking in performance.
I'd be curious to hear from anyone that uses Nextcloud and it's actually functional instead of being so slow that it is unusable. I've never had success getting it running
Been running nextcloud on a raspberry pi 4 on prem for a very small business <5 users for about 3-4 years ish. It’s faster than most clouds because it’s local. I’ve had very little trouble with it. Don’t tend to use much the features apart from files sync though.
How did you set it up and how do you run it? What are the specs of the machine you run it on. I've tried setting it up a few times, because it looks exactly like a project I'd want to self host, but its just been unusable.
I used to run it on a 4 core Celeron NUC with a measly 8 gig of ram and 1 TB SSD via the community fpm container: https://github.com/nextcloud/docker I now run it on a much more powerful system but performance wise it's the same.
Side containers
DB: I use postgres
Redis: https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly as the redis container
Image processing: imaginary container maintained by the Nextcloud team
Most of this is available in the AIO setup but I prefer manually tuning things for my system
As it's a __big__ SAS product to run it well on lower end systems you MUST:
- Tune your PHP settings to your system.
- Tune your DB settings
- Set up caching properly
- Offload as much processing as possible to background processes (e.g. preview generation)
Probably tune your Proxy settings as well.
Big changes I've made:
- Switch logging to error only and syslog (not the normal file on disk) as it can hammer single disk systems.
- Switch to unix sockets for redis and the database for quite a performance boost.
I’ve never done much in the way of tuning Nextcloud, but I do enable APCu and Redis. I also ditched MariaDB years ago and moved to PostgreSQL.
It definitely isn’t so slow it is unusable, limited to 2 cores of an Intel N95 CPU and 2GB RAM.
I have often wonder if some apps drag the whole thing down because my experience doesn’t seem to be universal. That dashboard thing had to go, and the talk app was never something I was interested in either.
I’ve been running it since it was OwnCloud and never really have upgrade issues either. YMMV.

(/s, but not too much)
You just wait until the day you are going to have to use SAP. SharePoint is going to end up feeling like a cool summer breeze!

https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud might be more interesting
Any reason to choose this over OwnCloud or Nextcloud?

Redis? Php8?
Been running it for years
It just works and always has
