Today I Installed #OpenCloud and completed my move away from Nextcloud.
I'm really happy with it.
Nextcloud was by far the most frustrating application I've self hosted. If there was a way for Nextcloud to be annoying, it would do it.
Been using #Immich for a while and it's amazing. That's replaced Memories.
Recently started using #Joplin. That's replaced Notes.
Set up some shared calendars with symlinks in OpenCloud's #Radicale add-on to replace Calendar and Contacts.

Cool I was wondering about this. Are you using it for your personal documents etc. or business?
I've got a small business/team and was taking steps towards NextCloud. It's replacing M365 so NC looked like the closest match for built-in features. Plus the rich extensions.
But OpenCloud seems to have happier converts and a less stressful architecture 😅
@fella I am only using it for personal use. In terms of replacing M365 in an enterprise setting today, I would say NextCloud is still your best bet (begrudgingly) for something self-hosted.
The calendar and contacts integration for OC is not officially supported. It's a bit of preview. I'd recommend having a test environment of both set up and doing a comparison.
@fella OC is going to be adding full groupware support (contacts, calendar and email) in the future, you can read about it in this blog post:

Once they have that implemented, OC will be a no-brainer imo.
@connel
Oh awesome that looks like exactly what I want! Thanks for the assist, I'll keep an eye on their developments.
The release timing wouldn't be a bad thing as staff would benefit from ease-in too so I think my decision is made.
I'm a few steps behind you so not much help sorry but I'll try to catch up.
