# FAQ
|

|
|
## General
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### What is OxiCloud?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OxiCloud is a self-hosted cloud platform written in Rust. It provides file storage, calendar sync, contacts sync, and office editing from a single binary.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### How does it compare to NextCloud?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OxiCloud uses ~20× less RAM, produces a ~25× smaller Docker image, and starts in under 1 second. The trade-off is fewer plugins — OxiCloud builds everything into the core. See the [comparison table](/guide/#oxicloud-vs-nextcloud).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### What hardware do I need?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Minimum: 1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, and a few GB of disk for PostgreSQL + file storage. OxiCloud runs comfortably on a Raspberry Pi 4.

## Installation
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Which database is supported?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PostgreSQL 13 or later. SQLite is not supported — PostgreSQL's ltree, array operations, and concurrent access are essential.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Can I use MySQL / MariaDB?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Not currently. PostgreSQL is the only supported database.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### How do I update?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Pull the latest image and restart:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
docker compose pull
|
|||
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||

## Features
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Can I sync files from my desktop?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WebDAV is built-in. You can mount OxiCloud in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, or Linux file managers. A dedicated desktop sync client is on the roadmap.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Does CalDAV/CardDAV work with my phone?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On Android, use [DAVx⁵](https://www.davx5.com/). On iOS, CalDAV and CardDAV work via the built-in Accounts settings.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Can I edit Office documents?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Yes, via WOPI integration with Collabora Online or OnlyOffice. See [WOPI configuration](/config/wopi).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Is there end-to-end encryption?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Not yet — it's on the roadmap. Files are stored unencrypted on the server (standard for self-hosted solutions that support server-side processing like thumbnails and search).

## Troubleshooting
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### I can't connect via WebDAV
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Check that the URL is `http(s)://host:8086/webdav/` (note the trailing slash)
|
|||
|
|
2. Ensure authentication is correct (HTTP Basic)
|
|||
|
|
3. Check server logs: `docker compose logs oxicloud`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Uploads fail for large files
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OxiCloud automatically switches to chunked upload for files over 200 MB. If you're behind a reverse proxy, ensure it allows large request bodies:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```nginx
|
|||
|
|
client_max_body_size 0; # unlimited
|
|||
|
|
proxy_read_timeout 600s;
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### OIDC login doesn't redirect back
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Verify that `OXICLOUD_OIDC_REDIRECT_URI` matches exactly what's configured in your identity provider, and that `OXICLOUD_OIDC_FRONTEND_URL` points to your actual frontend URL.
