@Loredo @OpenCloud

Toll, Glückwunsch! 🙂

Ich bin nach Jahren von #ownCloud zu #Nextcloud und seit ungefähr Anfang des Jahres zu OpenCloud gewechselt. Die Collabora-Integration läuft, ebenso die Authentifizierung über Keycloak mit einem Univention-LDAP-Backend.

Meiner Erfahrung nach läuft OpenCloud im Alltag deutlich flüssiger als die beiden anderen. Der Einstieg war etwas holprig, das muss ich zugeben – aber inzwischen rennt es ohne Mucken.

Naja, bis zum nächsten Update. 😅

Endlich weg von diesen ganzen Gimmik Apps, Hub-Zeugs das nur mit Updates beschäftigt werden will und Performance frießt.

ownCloud GmbH released #ownCloud Server version 10.16.4. https://owncloud.com/download-server/

“When changes in OwnCloud's ownership and commercial direction created uncertainty about support contracts and the product's future trajectory, Surf did not panic. "Did we enjoy that? No. But did it cause us stress? Also no," Mufty said. "The code was on our own machines, and we knew alternatives existed." After six months of preparation, the cooperative migrated the entire Surfdrive base from #OwnCloud to #Nextcloud over a single weekend.”

Preserving Memories: The Power of Open Formats and Self-Hosted Solutions

So… OpenCloud?

Just need basic file access for the family and maybe built-in Collabora for occasional letter writing. An app for iPhone and iPad would be nice.

Nextcloud is WAY overkill, and it seems that a lot of the self-hosted solutions are either trying to be Nextcloud or are just plain ugly. (Sorry, Copyparty)

All very welcome options for the digital workplace, office tools, and “productivity tools”, as called by today’s two dominant market leaders: #Microsoft 365 and #Google Workspace.

More options is a good thing❣️ It also forces us, in a positive way, to look carefully at how open these solutions really are: their licenses, governance, architecture, dependencies, and long-term control.

Varnish, it's like MySQL, Gitea, ownCloud and OpenOffice?

Well we're all familiar with MariaDB, Forgejo, and LibreOffice, now one group that is likening the creation of those forks by the original development teams is also asking folks (for the sake of understanding) that #Vinyl-cache is the original, unbroken codebase that was once #Varnish, yet furthermore, is also akin to other software such as those others mentioned above both pre and post forking.

https://vinyl-cache.org/organization/on_vinyl_cache_and_varnish_cache.html#our-opinion

Obviously, this could be confusing. Which should you use? which is the original? which is better?

Honestly, this is a matter of philosophy, business, and other matters of choice; but not so much in substance - yet. These two code bases haven't had much time to diverge, but they are, and have been, for a bit now. Both are FOSS. Both (or at least one) claims to be the continuation of a two decades old code base. Here's what's important now, and how you might want to come to your own conclusions as to which one to choose moving forward.

#Sun_Microsystems manufactured some of the most admired and trusted enterprise server hardware platforms. They also created and maintained #Solaris (SunOS), and they scooped up the custodianship for what was once Star Office in the form of #OpenOffice. They also brought Monty's #MySQL into the fold, while VirtualBox was another free offering.

#Sun was acquired by the #Evil_EllisonCo, aka, #Oracle. Immediately, the company was dismantled. Servers rebranded, while the OpenOffice developer team mutinied under the tutelage of Ellison, and then departed forming "The Document Foundation (TDF) in the process - a fork, #LibreOffice resulted.

Monty Widenius, already soured on the state of MySQL's place at the table with Oracle created the fork, MariaDB (Slackware Linux was the first major Linux distro to include MariaDB as the default during installation of the OS).

MySQL had much use for Oracle but Not OpenOffice (aka OOo), and Ellison refused to give the name to the Document Foundation, so it languished in the Apache Incubator, where he had gifted it, for many years.

Another famous new name that is essentially the original team of creators and developers is #NextCloud, and yes, #ownCloud does still exist... somewhere, or so I'm told ;)

When the three people in charge of steering and the custodianship of Gitea Formed a couple of for profit companies and assigned all trade and service marks of the product to those companies, it caused a great stir within the FOSS community (because this was the de facto leading #FOSS version of a code forge especially appropriate to host FOSS projects). A new Fork, #Forgejo was birthed.

So in a nutshell, When the Varnish project bootstrapped a for profit corporation to operate under (even though at this time it's still FOSS), it likewise spawned a fork of itself, and like the others, the defecting developers created the name #Vinyl, and forked Varnish-cache so that it is Vinyl-cache that continues in the tradition of FOSS while it's expected that Varnish-cache will continue to diverge from the direction of the original code base and philosophy.

@markusr Stimmt, soll in #OwnCloud aber auch wieder eingebaut werden. Ich hab jetzt hier ne Installation von #OpenCloud zum Test laufen. Auf dem iPhone/iPad funktioniert das mit virtuellen Dateien ganz wunderbar. Auf dem Mac nutze ich derzeit MountainDuck zur Einbindung von OpenCloud. Das scheint auch gut zu laufen. Ich kopiere heute mal alle Daten aus der Nextcloud rüber und amche dann mal ne Woche OpenCloud-only. :)

Seit Wochen und Monaten spinnt meine #Nextcloud im Zusammenhang mit #VirtualFiles. Auf dem Mac wird mir eigentlich ständig angezeigt, dass es ein Problem gäbe – was allerdings nicht stimmt. Sowohl in stable wie auch in beta.

Eine echte Lösung scheint es nicht zu geben, zu dem Problem findet man zu Hauf Suchende im Netz.

Was ist eine gute Alternative, wenn ich tatsächlich vor allem Dateien hosten will, also das meist von Nextcloud eh nicht nutze? #OwnCloud?
