  Has anything actually happened in ownClouds development?

  The last I saw of them was FOSDEM a few years back, where NextCloud were handing out whitepapers and showing off their new Hub, chat, VoIP stack, group sharing system, and more. And ownCloud were sat somewhat opposite with two people and a screen showing a screenshot of a default ownCloud install, along with a big sign hanging from the ceiling saying “Join the winning team.”

  Ooooor it will become a free vs corporate solution like RedHat and the likes do.
  Portainer also does it for example. I think LDAP-Auth is paywalled but it makes sense that features like that are.

    It does not.

      Yes! As soon as your homelab grows above a couple of services and especially if it's used by two or more people SSO becomes an absolute necessity! The tolerance of non-technical users for handling a bunch of passwords and having to enter them everywhere is understandably low.

      The Home Assistant devs apparently also deal SSO as "a corporate feature that big-corp interests want to force onto us" whereas it's the exact opposite in many cases: If we want self hosted services to be a realistic alternative to the "big corpo offerings" then we have to consider convenience and security an important feature and SSO is one of the few things that improves both at the same time.

    It might be, but in the history of that corp, they never had a free/community/oss project. It looks like the typical Embrace Extend Extinguish strategy. OC 10 it’s already dead (no php 8 support) and ocis has almost no plugins.

      Didn’t know about their history.
      If that was the case: Fun while it lasted. Havent used it thus far but I wasn’t against the situation if it justified the use of it.

    Did you not switch to Nextcloud a while back?

    Why? They didn’t say they’re shutting it down.

      You’ll find a lot of pessimistic people here because there are few unicorns when a commercial company buying an open source project didn’t go badly for the open source people. Most of the time after a sell-out the projects ends up under highly restrictive licensing, features behind paywalls, and many other problems making it a shadow of its former self.

      The most notable recent examples I can think of is IBM buys Red Hat buys CentOS, and that ended with forks as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux. Oracle buys MySQL ended up forked as MariaDB. Businesses love to push their commercial offerings on open source products, and it’s not always in the form of plain old support agreements (like the people behind AlmaLinux). Often (this is common especially in databases) they’ll tax features like SSO, backups, or literally simple the privilege of having stable software. Projects like CentOS and VyOS don’t have stable OSS versions, and soooo many databases will put LDAP/Kerberos behind the commercial product, charging monthly or yearly operating costs.

      Even GitHub (which to be clear was closed source to begin with, but is a haven for F/OSS so I’ll give it an honorable mention here) started showing Microsoft-isms after M$ bought the platform.

  Hummm… This kinda sucks ! Moving to seafile then ! Hope their native apps are as good as owncloud’s !

    Why not nextcloud? Seafile files stores in a proprietary database

    • deepdive@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I used nextcloud for a year or so, but found the web GUI/apps slow, bloated and sometimes way to buggy ! Switch to owncloud for the simplicity of only having a cloud system without to much bloat.

      I just read through the seafile documentation and yeah this is also not going to happen. Maybe I should switch to a simple webdav server…

  Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

  Fewer Letters	More Letters
  HTTP	Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the Web
  SSO	Single Sign-On
  nginx	Popular HTTP server
