Huh, thanks!
I'm going to run both in parallel for a month or so before trying to get my SO to use it so I can better estimate the WAF. So far, NextCloud is good enough, but it's kinda slow (and I have Redis configured) despite being on pretty beefy hardware (Ryzen 1700 w/ 16GB RAM). I really hate PHP, so I'd prefer a project I can contribute to if needed. I worked w/ Go for almost 10 years, so OCIS would be a natural fit, but I'd still contribute patches for PHP if that really was the best tool for the job. But I'm not going to get involved unless the project already does what I need (my contributions would be for smaller bug fixes).
But yeah, the OCIS docs look kinda mediocre from the little I've read of them. But at least I don't need to mess w/ PHP config most likely and can hopefully just forward HTTP requests to it.
The move from php to go and the slowness of NC is what attracted me to the project. But I’m going to wait a bit longer until we’re flush with 3rd party setup guides cause I simply do not have the time to wade through their docs.
Yup, that's why I started w/ NextCloud. It was painful enough getting Collabora working with NC, so hopefully OCIS is easier now that I know my Collabora setup at least works.
