Previously the admin quota was hardcoded to 100 GB and the regular user quota to 1 GB, regardless of actual disk capacity. On systems with less than 100 GB free this produced misleading quota values. Added the fs2 crate to query available disk space on the storage filesystem. A new capped_quota() helper now returns min(default_quota, available_disk_space) when assigning quotas during user registration, admin setup, and OIDC provisioning.
A fast, simple alternative to NextCloud
NextCloud was too slow on my home server. So I built OxiCloud: a file storage system written in Rust that runs on minimal hardware and stays out of your way.
Why OxiCloud?
| Feature | What you get |
|---|---|
| Low resources | Runs on 512MB RAM. No PHP, no bloat. |
| Fast | Rust with LTO optimization. Sub-second responses. |
| Clean UI | Works on desktop and mobile. No clutter. |
| Easy setup | One binary, one database, done. |
| Multi-language | English, Spanish and Persian out of the box. |
Quick Start
You need Rust 1.70+, Cargo, and PostgreSQL 13+.
git clone https://github.com/DioCrafts/oxicloud.git
cd oxicloud
# Set up your database connection
echo "DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost/oxicloud" > .env
# Build and run
cargo build --release
cargo run --bin migrate --features migrations
cargo run --release
Open http://localhost:8085 in your browser.
Docker (alternative)
docker compose up -d
That's it. The app runs on port 8086.
Architecture
OxiCloud uses Clean Architecture with four layers:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Interfaces │ API routes, handlers │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Application │ Use cases, services │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Domain │ Business logic │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Infrastructure│ Database, filesystem │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
Each layer only talks to the one below it. You can swap out the database or add new API endpoints without touching business logic.
Development
cargo build # Build
cargo run # Run locally
cargo test # Run tests
cargo clippy # Lint
cargo fmt # Format
# For debugging
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run
