Hello all,
For a few days now I have been reading about the shiny new opencloud alternative to nextcloud. Has anyone tried to migrate from nextcloud to opencloud?
I have not found a guide about how to move the files from one to the other. I want to try it out and if I like it enough, move. But how does one do that?
What are the benefits? They’d have to be pretty big to make it worth switching away from nextcloud’s copyleft license imo
I have no clue about the licensing, it appears to be a European project so I figured I could try it for a bit. But I realize a better approach would be to just test it out with a few unimportant files before I commit to it.
I have been using nextcloud for about 5 year now. So I have quite a few file and about 5 users on my instance
Nextcloud is an European project too.
I only heard about open loud when the European criminal court made a. Announcement that they will drop Ms office 365 for this opencloud and I got excited. Makes me wonder why they didn’t go for next loud if it is European too?
They went with OpenDesk, which uses Nextcloud as Cloud System.
Where have you read that they are going to switch to OpenCloud?
shit i think what happened is I read about that announcement and got excited and then started hunting for that opendesk and somehow landed on opencloud. now i am even more confuse because opendesk seems to be more compatible with nextcloud but opencloud seems faster. i have to keep digging and run some tests this weekend
They have similar licences.
NextCloud server is AGPL 3.0
OpenCloud server is Apache 2.0
AGPL is a strong copyleft license that prevents corporate takeover of the project, and Apache is a fully permissive license that does not. They could hardly be more different
