Finally got the time to set up OpenCloud. It is a pain in the ass to wade through their convoluted clusterfuck of compose files, but it is worth it! Sometime next week I'll refactor my current deployment. If I deem it fine, I might post it here for others to reference.

Opencloud was a weird experience for me. Getting it started was great and having all of the options and features available led me to build it bigger than I initially planned. The downfall was it became too slow with everything I wanted to do with it. Could have been my hardware but it became unusable.

Looks like it just have to be like that with all open source projects in this space with a name ending in "cloud" ;)

Oh yikes! I'll see how it goes.

Absolutely nightmare to set up, especially with OIDC, but once it was finally up it was such a night and day difference from Nextcloud. Worth setting up for sure
