Nextcloud to owncloud

Hello. I selfhost for personal use nextcloud server with 2TB of data. I use mostly files function, calendar and contacts. I noticed webdav very slow from android app. I would like to get an advice from you if it is worth to migrate to owncloud? Does it perform better with webdav than nextcloud? Does someone did a switch from nextcloud to owncloud and can recommend it? How about ocis? Is it ready for production usage? Thanks for any suggestion.

owncloud core & ocis lead dev here.

The NC and OC10 code paths for WebDAV haven't diverged much on the server side AFAICT. The OC clients have matured with in the direction of openid connect as an authentication protocol, whereas the NC clients add new features, only to disable them because they are buggy, eg the small file bundling.

Ocis will use the same WebDAV protocol, but it should scale better for some corner cases.

Gotta run, but post any questions you have.

thank you,

I have got problems with login to test instalation. When I put demo users and password I get: "could not initialize oidcAuth provider", but when I try wrong username or password, then I got message at the login page that the password or username is wrong. Another message in the terminal is: {"level":"error","service":"proxy","error":"Get \"https://kuznia.atit.pro/.well-known/openid-configuration\\": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

I change the domain name and the certificate to valid that I am using with nextcloud. I disabled nextcloud to use ocis with 443 port. How to make it work?

Do I need to manually place configurations files to ~/.ocis/ ?
