Benchmark-gated round (benches/ROUND9.md): every change carries a BEFORE/AFTER bench with equivalence/safety gates; verdicts below are from the committed harnesses on 4 cores / local PG 16. Backend: - Blob decorators (Retry/Cached) now forward put_blob_from_bytes_unsynced + sync_blobs — the trait default had silently reinstated HEAD-before-PUT per chunk on decorated remote stacks, undoing ROUND3 §8. Full production stack: 500 probes -> 0, 1.9x wall at 10 ms RTT (bench_s3_put §3). - NC PROPFIND per-page enrichment triple (favorites / oc:fileid / dead props) overlapped with tokio::join!: 2.07x local, 2.86x at 5 ms RTT (bench_nc_enrich_join, injected-latency decide-by-bench). - Search enrichment consumes its DTOs and carries the interned Arc<str> display fields end-to-end (SearchFileResultDto type change, OpenAPI shape preserved): enrich_file 2.0x, 11.6 -> 2.2 allocs/row; the NC REPORT conversion stops re-running all three classifiers per row (bench_search_enrich). - NC session Arc end-to-end: SharedNcSession extractor (8 -> 0 allocs), Arc<FolderDto> chroot cache (4 -> 0/hit), single shared Arc<CurrentUser> + lazy span render (11 -> 6/build) (bench_nc_session). - Storage micro-pack: atomic create_new chunk writes (2.1x fresh), stream_chunks over the manifest Arc (4097 -> 0 allocs/read incl. the Range path), manifest single-flight (herd 64 -> 1 loads), hex_lower for chunk Content-MD5 (18 -> 1 allocs) (bench_storage_micro). - OCS capabilities memoized into OnceLock<[Bytes;2]>: 237x, 102 -> 0 allocs/poll, byte-identical (bench_capabilities_static). - Drive::is_empty COUNT(*) sum -> EXISTS: 34.4x on a 100k-file drive (bench_drive_is_empty). - favorites/recents row-map ROUND7 port: path/name/blob_hash moved, -2.75 allocs/row (bench_resource_row_map §2). - Folder rows decode binary UUIDs (ROUND6 §10 port): 1.03-1.07x page fetch, honest verdict incl. one noise-band wash documented (bench_folder_uuid_decode). - Authz: file cascade decision decomposed into memoized folder-level decision + direct-grant lookup (ROUND8 deferred item). Cold shared-album first view 592 -> 418 µs/thumb; warm path unchanged; safety gates incl. new direct-grant sibling isolation, revoke-flush re-verified, full integration authz suite green (bench_thumbnail_cascade_cache). Frontend (vitest gates committed beside the code): - resolveLabel/resolveRecipient O(directory) scan -> id-keyed Map: 13.9x (recipients.bench.test.ts). - ResourceList selection-prune effect skips when nothing is selected (100 -> 0 Set builds per drain) and the photos timeline reads a listener-fed mobile flag instead of matchMedia per recompute (listDerives.bench.test.ts). Verification: cargo fmt + clippy --all-features --all-targets -D warnings clean; 524 unit + 554 integration (--cfg integration_tests) tests pass; frontend npm run check clean with 293 vitest tests green. Deferred with rationale in ROUND9.md: CalDAV authz-before-fetch reorder (maintainer sign-off), per-page batched parent resolution, JWT-claims Arc<str>, batch_operations signature widening.

A fast self-hosted cloud for people who want files, calendars, contacts, and office editing without dragging a heavy stack behind them.

If OxiCloud saves you setup time, RAM, or complexity, give it a star. If something is missing, ask for a feature or request a docs improvement.
Why People Try OxiCloud
OxiCloud is aimed at self-hosters, home labs, and small teams who want the useful parts of a cloud suite without the operational drag of a traditional PHP stack.
What pulls people in:
- Standard protocols first: WebDAV, CalDAV, and CardDAV are built in
- Useful product surface already there: files, previews, sharing, trash, search, favorites, and recent items
- Modern auth and admin basics: OIDC/SSO, quotas, roles, and shared links
- Better interoperability: native desktop and mobile clients work without custom sync tooling for basic access
- Lower deployment friction: Docker Compose, environment-based configuration, Helm chart, and Nix module
OxiCloud is not trying to mirror the full plugin ecosystem of Nextcloud. It is designed for a smaller stack, fast startup, and standards-based interoperability.
Quick Start
Docker Compose
Requires Docker and Docker Compose.
git clone https://github.com/AtalayaLabs/OxiCloud.git
cd OxiCloud
cp example.env .env
# If users will access OxiCloud through a domain or reverse proxy,
# set OXICLOUD_BASE_URL in .env before the first login.
docker compose up -d
Open http://localhost:8086.
Run from source
Requires Rust 1.93+ and PostgreSQL.
git clone https://github.com/AtalayaLabs/OxiCloud.git
cd OxiCloud
cp example.env .env
# If PostgreSQL runs on your host instead of Docker, update both
# OXICLOUD_DB_CONNECTION_STRING and DATABASE_URL to use localhost:5432.
cargo run

Supported Clients
OxiCloud uses standard DAV protocols, so it works with native clients instead of requiring a custom sync stack for basic access.
| Use case | URL |
|---|---|
| Files via WebDAV | https://your-host/webdav/ |
| Calendars via CalDAV | https://your-host/caldav/ |
| Contacts via CardDAV | https://your-host/carddav/ |
Common clients that work well:
- macOS Finder

Help Shape OxiCloud
If you want OxiCloud to get better faster, use the repo like a product feedback loop, not just a code dump.
- Give it a star if you want more people to discover the project: Star OxiCloud
- Propose missing functionality: feature request
- Point out confusing onboarding or weak docs: documentation request
- Report breakage or regressions: bug report
- Build it with us: CONTRIBUTING.md
The best feature ideas usually come from real deployment pain. If you hit friction, open an issue and describe the workflow you want.
Architecture and Deployment
OxiCloud follows a clean, hexagonal architecture so protocol handlers, business logic, and infrastructure stay separated.
- Backend: Rust + Axum
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Configuration: environment variables
- Default deployment: Docker Compose
- Additional packaging: Helm chart and Nix module
Architecture docs: internal architecture · caching architecture · database transactions · storage safety
Configuration and Integrations
Start with example.env. The most important settings are:
OXICLOUD_BASE_URLfor reverse proxies, domains, and external accessOXICLOUD_DB_CONNECTION_STRINGfor PostgreSQLOXICLOUD_OIDC_ENABLEDand related settings for SSOOXICLOUD_WOPI_ENABLEDand discovery URL for office editingMIMALLOC_PURGE_DELAY=0for lower idle RSS in constrained environments
