I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work (feddit.it)

And it failed spectacularly.

We only needed a simple form, but we wanted to be fancy, so we used "nextcloud forms".

The docker image automatically updated the install to nextcloud 30, but the forms app requires nextcloud 29 or lower. No warning whatsoever. It's an official app, couldn't they wait that it was ready for NC 30 before launching it? The newsletter boasts "NC hub 9 is the best thing after sliced bread" yet i don't see any difference both in visual or performance compared to NC hub 2

Conclusion: we made our business to rely on nextcloud forms as a signup form, but the only reason we were using it was disabled who knows how many weeks ago.

OwnCloud rewrite in Go is way better

Yeah I've thought about migrating, but I have a few users on it who use nextcloud regularly now, so I'm forced to support it - unless there's an easy migration path

Is this compatible with existing (Android) clients? I need offline file support for KeePass.

Yes it works with the android app

I'm attracted to it because of the posix backend. Did anyone try it? Is it stable?

For reference, https://owncloud.dev/architecture/posixfs-storage-driver/

I'm testing it now. Seems way faster and more stable.

I'm just trying to get the oauth login to work but the actual file sync works great.
