Nextcloud stopped being a fast, reliable file sync tool a long time ago.
It’s become a bloated “groupware suite” full of Talk, Office, AI, and half-finished apps…
while the core sync still chokes on large folders and locks files like it’s 2015.The Core Problem PHP-FPM and mod_php are ancient architectures - every request spins up, runs, and dies. No persistent memory, no connection reuse, and no async I/O. Result: slow sync, race conditions, and constant “file locked” errors. Tons of open GitHub issues about sync bugs, upgrades, and no action from nextcloud
What they shoud do: Hyperf + Swoole
Swoole turns PHP into a high-performance async server - persistent memory, connection pooling, non-blocking I/O.
Hyperf+swoole can rival GOlang. Hyperf builds on it: native WebSockets, coroutine HTTP, and microservice-ready architecture. You get live sync, push notifications, and massive concurrency with a fraction of the resource cost. Add TUS (resumable uploads) and you finally have reliable file transfer on bad connections.I don’t want “Teams clone” bloat. We want reliable sync that just works. I’d rather self-host a lean, fast file system than manage ten half-integrated apps. Hyperf + Swoole is how you bring Dropbox-level sync to self-hosting without the pain.
Nextcloud could fix its image by: Refocusing on sync reliability and performance. Moving core services to a persistent, async engine (Swoole/hyperf, etc). Making “Nextcloud Core” modular - separate entirely from the groupware/ai/talk - I dont fucking need it. Until then, those who care about speed, concurrency, and modern PHP should look beyond the old PHP-FPM world.

and I would have gotten away with it if it wasnt for you meddling kids.
NO - but seriously completely gratuitous from my end. I’m fed up with nextcloud.as to licensing - yeah I didnt even look at it, opencloud was forked from owncloud I figured it is something consistent. I like they use matrix for their chat.
as to enshittification - that is something nobody can predict but I have seen GPL3 went private many times: directus.io/…/changing-our-license-one-year-later or mongo I think was agpl3.
tbh yes - licensing is not something I looked into strongly.
