ownCloud Infinite Scale (oCIS) is the new file sync & share platform that will be the foundation of your data management platform.

Make sure to download the latest released version today!

Infinite Scale allows the following ownCloud clients:

• web,
• Android,
• iOS and
• Desktop

to synchronize and share file spaces with a scalable server backend based on reva using open and well defined APIs like WebDAV and CS3.

Infinite Scale can integrate web office applications such as:

• Collabora Online,
• OnlyOffice Docs or
• Microsoft Office Online Server

Collaborative editing is supported by the WOPI application gateway.

Users are authenticated via OpenID Connect using either an external IdP like Keycloak or the embedded LibreGraph Connect identity provider.

With focus on easy install and operation, Infinite Scale is delivered as single binary or container that allows scaling from a Raspberry Pi to a Kubernetes cluster by changing the configuration and starting multiple services as needed. The multiservice architecture allows tailoring the functionality to your needs and reusing services that may already be in place like when using Keycloak. See the details below for various installation options.

Before starting to set up an instance, we highly recommend reading the Prerequisites, the Deployment section and especially the General Information page describing and explaining information that is valid for all deployment types.

See the Quick Guide or the Binary Setup for a single-node bare-metal deployment starting with a Raspberry Pi or single server, the Container Setup for classic container environments like docker or learn how to deploy to Kubernetes.

Use this method to run an instance with the latest code. This is only recommended for development purposes. The minimum go version required is 1.21. Note that you need as prerequisite a C compile environment installed because some dependences like reva have components that require c-go libraries/tool-chains. The command installing for debian based systems is: sudo apt install build-essentials. To build and run a local instance with demo users:

# get the source
git clone [email protected]:owncloud/ocis.git

# enter the ocis dir
cd ocis

# generate assets
make generate

# build the binary
make -C ocis build

# initialize a minimal oCIS configuration
./ocis/bin/ocis init

# run with demo users
IDM_CREATE_DEMO_USERS=true ./ocis/bin/ocis server

All batteries included: no external database, no external IDP needed!

Refer to the Admin Documentation - Introduction to Infinite Scale to get started with running oCIS in production.

See the Development Documentation - Getting Started to get an overview of Requirements, the repository structure and other starting points.

See the Security Aspects for a general overview of security related topics. If you find a security issue, please contact [email protected] first.

We are very happy that oCIS does not require a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) as it is Apache 2.0 licensed. We hope this will make it easier to contribute code. If you want to get in touch, most of the developers hang out in our matrix channel, our rocket chat channel or reach out to the ownCloud central forum.

Infinite Scale is carefully internationalized so that everyone, no matter what language they speak, has a great experience. To achieve this we rely on the help of volunteer translators. If you want to help, you can find the projects behind the following links: Transifex for ownCloud web and Transifex for ownCloud (Select the resource by filtering for ocis-).

Please always refer to our Contribution Guidelines.
