@J1mB0b Great to hear it works now, and thanks for sticking with it!

- On the phone, the OpenCloud Android app can already do this: tap the ⋮ next to a document, pick "Open in Euro-Office (web)", and the editor opens in your phone's browser.
- .ocnote is OpenCloud's own note format. Only OpenCloud's built-in editor reads it, so notes stay in the OpenCloud web UI for now.
- For .odt, .ods and .odp, Collabora Office is free on Android and iOS and opens all three.

If you run into a bug or have a feature wish, GitHub is the best place, I see those fastest there: https://github.com/junkerderprovinz/opencloud/issues

The collabora app is so much better than the app I found, thanks. and it doesnt require google play services :-)

Hello everyone,

I’m currently thinking about switching from Nextcloud to OpenCloud, as I really only use my cloud for a few files and for calendars, contacts and to-do lists (via CalDAV/CardDAV).

As Nextcloud has some hickups from time to time and you often read about faulty updates, I’m looking for a leaner and more stable alternative.

BUT does “keep every OpenCloud folder off /mnt/user.” mean that my uploaded files will be saved directly to the HDD, rather than first to the SSD and then moved to the HDD using Mover? (I only have a 256GB SSD as a cache and 10TB HDDs in an array)

And is anyone nevertheless using it with user-shares and able to share their experience?

Hi @Moll,

yes, that's what it means. Set up the way the guide describes, Config and Data sit on the SSD pool (/mnt/cache/appdata/opencloud/...), and uploads go straight to the array disk you set as Files. Nothing stops on the cache first and the mover isn't involved. Writing to the array is slower than the SSD, mostly because of parity, but with a few files you'll hardly notice.

Since you only keep a few files, there's an even simpler option: leave Files empty. Then everything stays in Data on the SSD, and 256 GB goes a long way. Parity doesn't cover it there, so back up the appdata folder, for example with the Appdata Backup plugin.

About /mnt/user: OpenCloud has no database and is constantly writing small files. During a big sync, Unraid's share layer can stop responding, and when it does, every container on /mnt/user hangs too until you reboot. With light use you might never run into it, but when it happens it takes the whole server down with it, so I can't recommend it. If a path still goes through the share layer, the container log warns you at every start.

The bigger question for you is calendars, contacts and to-dos. OpenCloud doesn't do CalDAV/CardDAV itself. It passes those requests to a separate Radicale server and sits in front of it as a proxy (https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/configuration/radicale-integration). The template doesn't set that up, so out of the box you only get the file side. If calendars are the main reason you'd switch, keep Nextcloud for them for now or run Radicale on its own.

It seems your latest repo is still based on OpenCloud 7.2.4. Since OpenCloud is now 9.0, could you update your repo?

Thanks.

Hi @bthoven, good catch, and thanks for asking! The image rebuilds itself every week, but :latest follows OpenCloud's production line, and upstream's production image is still 7.2.4, while 9.0 is a rolling release. You get 9.0 with junkerderprovinz/opencloud:rolling, the template default, which already runs 9.0.0: edit the container, set the Repository to that tag and hit Apply. That jumps from 7.2 straight to 9.0, so please back up your appdata first and have a quick look at the upgrade notes for 8.x and 9.x: https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/next/admin/maintenance/upgrade/upgrade-9.x.x
