Overview

OpenCloud is a Go server platform for file management, sharing, and collaboration. The backend stores data on the filesystem rather than in a database and authenticates through OIDC using an external IdP or embedded LibreGraph Connect. The latest release checked on September 17, 2026 is v8.0.1.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Provide file sharing and collaboration through a Go server backend

The main OpenCloud repository implements backend services for file management, sharing, and collaboration with a sovereignty-focused deployment model.

Sources: [1][2]

Use filesystem storage and separate identity through OIDC

The README states that the backend does not use a database and stores data on the filesystem. Authentication uses OpenID Connect with external providers such as Keycloak or embedded LibreGraph Connect.

Sources: [2]

For organizations that want file collaboration on self-controlled infrastructure and identity

It is a useful comparison for deployments emphasizing data sovereignty, filesystem storage, and integration with an existing OIDC identity provider.

Sources: [1][2]

This repository is the server backend; production deployment needs the full installation guidance

The README build path is for a local test instance. Production operators should separately design storage, OIDC/IdP, TLS, backups, and upgrades using the official deployment documentation.
