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?

OpenCloud has made a conscious decision not to use relational databases and instead uses files to store metadata. This decision simplifies the system considerably and at the same time helps to improve scalability and system stability.

Well color me convinced. The most frustrating part about updating Nextcloud is fixing the database schema.

I don't even want a database I just want a lightweight webui for manage my files from a browser.

OpenCloud fits the bill much better.

Databases are not the issue but that the updater doesn't handle it... My personal instance and our work instance never take long (a few seconds) to fix the database. I mean the instance is already in maintenance mode and adding a checkbox to do it or not to do it, should be simple. I don't know if there are instances where it takes long and its better to do it during the night.

I've made an update script that tries to run the migrations and index updates in one go.

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/updater/updater.phar --no-interaction --no-backup
/usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/occ maintenance:repair --include-expensive
/usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/occ db:add-missing-indices

The updater itself is by far the slowest of the three commands. I think downloading the new version into a different folder and just moving apps and files over would be much quicker. But I haven't had the time to look at potential errors with that method.
