    Comments about Nextcloud as an Alternative to OpenMediaVault

    Nextcloud doesn't manage storage devices nor provides data redundancy. Given Nextcloud stores metadata in a database away from the corresponding data, it could be easier to lose information should one of the involved systems fail (e.g; web server, PHP runtime, database server, file server, storage drives, networking among these and permissions); and that's before factoring in encryption.

    This is a simple and lightweight WebDAV server, allowing to easily set up a file sharing server compatible with WebDAV and NextCloud clients. It has no dependencies and good performance. It is written in PHP (8+). The only dependency is SQLite3 for the database.
