ownCloud seems to be going for hosting small and medium sized businesses, I'm not sure what that means for big organizations in the future. Our customers tend to be bigger, actually. Like the German federal government with 300K users,

NodeJS didn't exist, Python is slow and Go scales fine on ONE server but doesn't scale horizontally very well... while PHP scales perfectly that way. It has downsides, which is why we pick other languages for some components (our

Yup. Also, VC funding? Heck no, we started Nextcloud because VC funding had bankrupted and blown up ownCloud... I mean, seriously. It is now owned by a German real estate agent...

All for avoiding Panini's, but we're a Content Collaboration Platform - and Nextcloud Social fits certainly well in that. WRT server-side encryption, it gets work all the time, though it is mostly an enterprise feature that gets l

Sorry, we don't offer that. We focus, instead, on paid support for larger enterprises, ideally well over 100 users. This way we don't get tempted trying to monetize home or small enterprise users, but instead have an incentive to

3-5 pics per hour is indeed insane, that is a certainly some bug. Especially if it is iOS specific. Be sure to file the bug with as much info as possible (see if you can probe network activity or just see if the app uploads a file and waits

Sorry to hear it broke. Try logging a support ticket on portal.nextcloud.com. LDAP is an enterprise feature so it is an area where we strongly focus on customers and their issues first, and if none of our customers experience this problem i

Hi, Sorry to hear about the bad experience, that shouldn't happen. We explicitly design Nextcloud to be seamless for small installations like yours - but if you need support, you can simply purchase it directly on https://ne

Of course, you lose support for 2FA, have crappy notifications and activity feed and so on, plus it is entirely unsupported so I'd recommend against that...

That's really a nice, sympathetic idea. The main issue with that is that it simply doesn't provide anywhere near enough money to pay a real team. Our forums, for example, have about 17.7k users according to help.nextcloud.com&#x2F

Hi Markus, I'd argue the opposite, actually, ownCloud is betting on providing hosting for small and medium businesses, while Nextcloud targets large businesses. And that is what reality shows. Nextcloud has far larger customers than ow

... and it is all over HTTPS, so certainly very 'web', no need for special ports etc. See https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

If you're not sure about the security you can firewall it of course, but keep in mind we pay 5K to anyone who can find a remote execute vulnerability in Nextcloud (and smaller amounts for smaller bugs).

It is all apps. You can even disable sharing. Heck, you can disable the Files UI... Note that most people use Nextcloud to work with others and features like these are crucial to their productivity. In the end, we're guided by communit

That is like saying ice cream makers should focus on the 'core' tastes, claiming that that is banana and vanilla because you like those. For you calendar and contacts are core for a file sync and share software? Above somebody als

Let's be honest, if we did a release with only stabilization, it might get us more users. Not more customers. And it is customers who pay for the development. Everyone asks us to focus "on the basics" and then claim their pet

Thanks for helping to fix the bugs, that's the best way of getting this improved ;-)

All depends on your server and settings and network of course... But the mobile clients could probably do more uploads in parallel, like the desktop client does. Just keep in mind it uploads the original files, not, like eg whatsapp, downsi

try nextcloud.com/migration - but keep in mind that it is slowly getting harder and harder to switch. We try to keep it easy and smooth but ownCloud is backporting a lot of potentially breaking changes in their 'stable' branc

From what I understand of STUN and TURN, there is absolutely no point running STUN an TURN on the same server as Nextcloud - if you do, you could just as well skip running them in the first place. STUN and TURN only help if they are on a de

True. Still, I think most companies will take cost of living in the area where the potential employee lives into account. When thinking about it it seems odd, indeed. I guess it is kind of normal and expected. But entirely rational it is no

I'd LOVE to hear what red flags are in the comment from the recruiter or the other person - whom I guess is a manager. I've re-read it a few times but I see nothing but reasonableness. Then again, I'm neither a developer myse

I'd go as far as claiming Berlin is a very low paid place in Europe. Living costs and standards are quite low here compared to Munich or Amsterdam. You'd earn 50% more there for the same work.

Human nature isn't anywhere near as simplistic as economists tend to believe. That is why half the theories doesn't work in reality, people are far from the rational actors they're made out to be.

Yet this has little to do with socialism but rather with Kleptocracy, which is the same in USA and now coming to the US with this new president. Pretty much everywhere in the world, lower income inequality is closely correlated with being a

I tend to agree with this, yeah. There is plenty of room for change in how we run the economy giving everyone a chance for a good job. For one - the working hours in the US are crazy. Cap it at 32 hours and badaboom, everyone has a job. Com

Lots of Muslims blow themselves up, believing in 77 virgins and stuff like that. Is that proof of those virgins or merely their belief? I appreciate the list of martyrs but it is hardly unique to Christianity.
