That said there's an Owncloud version called Infinite Scale which is written in Go.[1] Honestly I tried to go that route but it's requirements are pretty opinionated (Ubuntu LTS 22.04 or 24.04 and lots of docker containers littering your system) but it looks like it's getting a lot of development.
Hm?
> This guide describes an installation of Infinite Scale based on Ubuntu LTS and docker compose. The underlying hardware of the server can be anything as listed below as long it meets the OS requirements defined in the Software Stack
https://doc.owncloud.com/ocis/next/depl-examples/ubuntu-comp...
The Software Stack section goes on to say it's just needs Docker, Docker Compose, shell access, and sudo.
Ubuntu and sudo are probably only mentioned because the guide walks you through installing docker and docker compose.
And I wish it was "containerized" but really it's "dockerized" as this thread demonstrates: https://central.owncloud.org/t/owncloud-docker-image-with-ro...
So yeah like I said in my original comment, for personal use it's just not right for me (because I choose not to use docker in my personal projects), but I hope it's right for other people because it looks like a killer app.
I'd definitely like to see what other options are available on other distros so I'll dig through their documentation more.
And yeah, trying to use podman with something that's based on docker compose is ... probably gonna give you some headaches, I'd guess. I don't particularly know the pitfalls but if you're expecting it to be transparently swappable, I don't think that's an owncloud issue.
I've seen some flame in this community, but damn this thread has just been a bunch of polite people helping correct the record.
