Hello all,

For a few days now I have been reading about the shiny new opencloud alternative to nextcloud. Has anyone tried to migrate from nextcloud to opencloud?

I have not found a guide about how to move the files from one to the other. I want to try it out and if I like it enough, move. But how does one do that?

Probably depends if you are going to use external Identity provider or not, in my case I want to use it authenticating with Authelia - which NextCloud can handle but I coulndn't make it to work properly with OpenCloud. Those issues seems to be related:

Edit: if you not using external Identity Provider you should be fine though

But does open cloud have its own auth system? I have been using the next loud auth with the two factor authentication and it has worked fine so far.

It has built-in auth system, but it doesn't support 2fa, and as they wrote on this github issue https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/issues/1695 - they are not planning to add it in the nearest future.
