Overview
Clients
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.
Web Office Applications
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.
Authentication
Users are authenticated via OpenID Connect using either an external IdP like Keycloak or the embedded LibreGraph Connect identity provider.
Installation
With focus on easy install and operation, Infinite Scale is delivered as a 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.
Important Readings
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.
Run ownCloud Infinite Scale
Use the Official Documentation
See the Install Infinite Scale on a Server for a production ready deployment starting with a Raspberry Pi, a single server or VM.
Use the ocis Repo as Source
Use this method to build and run an instance with the latest code. This is only recommended for development purposes.
The minimum go version required is 1.25.10.
Note that you need a C compile environment installed as a prerequisite because some dependencies, like reva, have components that require C-Go libraries and toolchains. The command installing for debian based systems is: sudo apt install build-essential.
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
# Open your browser on http://localhost:9200 to access the bundled web-ui
All batteries included: no external database, no external IDP needed!

Contributing
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 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-).
