owncloud/web

[!IMPORTANT] The owncloud/web repository has been merged into owncloud/ocis as part of our ongoing consolidation into a single oCIS monorepo. All future development, issues, and pull requests for the web frontend now happen there.

ownCloud Web

ownCloud Web is the next-generation frontend for ownCloud Infinite Scale, built as a single-page application with Vue.js and TypeScript. It provides a modern, accessible and themeable user interface for managing files, sharing, real-time collaboration and administration -- designed to be extensible through a plugin-based architecture that allows third-party developers to build custom apps and extensions.

Part of oCIS

ownCloud Web is the primary frontend for ownCloud Infinite Scale (oCIS). Starting with version 7.1.0, the Web UI supports only oCIS as a backend (for ownCloud 10 compatibility, use version 7.0.2).

ownCloud Web is available on Docker Hub.

Live Demo: https://demo.owncloud.com/

License Migration to Apache 2.0

The OSPO is driving a strategic relicensing of ownCloud repositories toward the Apache License 2.0, following the Apache Software Foundation's third-party license policy.

Individual repositories will migrate as their audit is completed. The LICENSE file in each repo reflects its current license status (not the target).

Current license: AGPL-3.0 (Category X per Apache policy -- cannot be included in Apache-2.0 works).

Migration prerequisites for this repository:

• CLA/DCO coverage: All past contributors must have signed agreements permitting relicensing
• Copyleft dependency audit: All AGPL/GPL dependencies must be replaced or isolated
• KDE heritage review: Any code with KDE-era copyrights requires legal analysis
• Complete relicensing: AGPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license; migration requires full relicensing of all files, not just a header change
