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:

I need software that’s stable and doesn’t break after every update.
Minimal maintenance is a priority for me.
A solution that works out of the box with minimal setup complexity.
Support for Docker Compose deployment.
Support for S3 storage as the primary storage backend.

What I like about OCIS:

It's written in Go (which I prefer over PHP).
It doesn’t require a database, simplifying setup and maintenance. (Not sure about it)

However, I’m still hesitant due to:

The limited documentation for OCIS.
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 really what you are asking for, but I found the combination of KaraDAV and Filestash to be a great alternative to Nextcloud, and much more stable for basic use.

As for Owncloud... I am skeptical of the company behind them ever since they split off into them and Nextcloud. Probably better to avoid, regardless of what you think of Nextcloud.

Filestash looks awesome! I tried the demo on my phone and it was way snappier than Nextcloud or even Google drive lol. I mostly use Nextcloud for documents and for calender and contacts, so I might replace nextcloud soon given how slow it usually is.
