# 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.
