I built OxiCloud because I wanted a simpler, faster file storage solution than existing options. After struggling with NextCloud's performance on my home server, I decided to create something that prioritizes speed and simplicity while still being robust enough for daily use.

OxiCloud's straightforward interface for file and folder management

• Lightweight: Minimal resource requirements compared to PHP-based alternatives
• Responsive UI: Clean, fast interface that works well on both desktop and mobile
• Rust Performance: Built with Rust for memory safety and speed
• Simple Setup: Get running with minimal configuration
• Multilingual: Full support for English and Spanish interfaces

• Rust 1.70+ and Cargo
• PostgreSQL 13+ database
• 512MB RAM minimum (1GB+ recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/DioCrafts/oxicloud.git
cd oxicloud

# Configure your database (create .env file with your PostgreSQL connection)
echo "DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost/oxicloud" > .env

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# Run database migrations
cargo run --bin migrate

# Run the server
cargo run --release

The server will be available at http://localhost:8085

OxiCloud follows Clean Architecture principles with clear separation of concerns:

• Domain Layer: Core business logic and entities
• Application Layer: Use cases and application services
• Infrastructure Layer: External systems and implementations
• Interfaces Layer: API and web controllers

The architecture makes it easy to extend functionality or swap components without affecting the core system.

# Core development workflow
cargo build                 # Build the project
cargo run                   # Run the project locally
cargo check                 # Quick check for compilation errors

# Testing
cargo test                  # Run all tests
cargo test <test_name>      # Run a specific test

# Code quality
cargo clippy                # Run linter
cargo fmt                   # Format code

# Debugging
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run    # Run with detailed logging

I'm actively working on improving OxiCloud with features that I need personally:

• User authentication and multi-user support (in progress)
• File sharing with simple links
• WebDAV support for desktop integration
• Basic file versioning
• Simple mobile-friendly web interface enhancements
• Trash bin functionality (in progress)

See TODO-LIST.md for my current development priorities.
