Nextcloud is written in PHP, which doesn't sound scalable to me.

OwnCloud is written in Go but employs an open-core model. Some features are locked behind a proprietary paywall.

“OwnCloud infinite scale” is written in Go. But ownCloud 10 is php.

I tried for weeks to get OCIS working but gave up and went back to ownCloud 10.

They’re committed to security updates for 10 but it’s a small company. I doubt it will get much attention sadly.

I literally just finished my move from Nextcloud to ocis yesterday (Docker). There were so many silly issues (e.g., I spent 2 full days trying to figure out why an image was getting a 500 error, only to learn ocis doesn't support tall images). I have a full install script and integrated motomo too. So ping me if you want to give it another shot. (I deployed Baikal to replace dav functionality.)

Nextcloud has all sorts of problems and bloat. It's not worth it anymore to me.

Shared nothing is no scaleable?

Nextcloud and Wordpress both suffer massively from technical debt.
