moving from nextcloud to opencloud (lemmy.world)

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 have similar licences.

NextCloud server is AGPL 3.0

OpenCloud server is Apache 2.0

[–] traceur201@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

I'm not sure it's that important. Plenty of projects have good licenses. Like strapi is mit.

Only they don't gonna accept any of your contributions anyways. Try changing something they don't like they not gonna accept it.

So there is no corporate takeover, but only on the paper. No sure u are free to fork and work on the fork. For free. Good luck with that
