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?

I'm testing it since yesterday next to my current nextcloud inatance. It is much more lightweight than nextcloud and suits my needs perfectly when it comes to features. Buuuut... for now I can't migrate to it because of issues I have with android app, I'm using authelia as IdP and after I finally made it to work together I'm constantly logged out from the mobile app, there are few unresolved issues on github that after those are sorted out I hope I can make a switch. For now I will stay with nextcloud

The nextcloud android app I use it to get a file off the server but not much more. Are you saying that the opencloud app can't even be used for that at the moment?

Probably depends if you are going to use external Identity provider or not, in my case I want to use it authenticating with Authelia - which NextCloud can handle but I coulndn't make it to work properly with OpenCloud. Those issues seems to be related:

Edit: if you not using external Identity Provider you should be fine though

But does open cloud have its own auth system? I have been using the next loud auth with the two factor authentication and it has worked fine so far.

It has built-in auth system, but it doesn't support 2fa, and as they wrote on this github issue https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/issues/1695 - they are not planning to add it in the nearest future.
