Hello all,
For a few days now I have been reading about the shiny new opencloud alternative to nextcloud. Has anyone tried to migrate from nextcloud to opencloud?
I have not found a guide about how to move the files from one to the other. I want to try it out and if I like it enough, move. But how does one do that?
You can totally do that in nextcloud. All your file structure is keeped in the directory of nextcloud. The database only keep metadatas about what is shared and such things. One soft that strip the file structure and store it only as metadata in a database is Seafile. For your usecase, you can drop your files in your nextcould directory at the right place and invoke the command
occ files:scan. It doesn’t watch for file changes, but you could certainly setup a Cron or a script to invoke it remotely.Why use a software that requires an involved workaround when there is software available that already does it?
Nothing against NextCloud, buy it’s not the only solution available, and people have different needs.
