sync::Cache uses an internal Mutex that blocks the Tokio worker thread during maintenance (eviction, frequency bookkeeping). Under high concurrency this serialises all tasks scheduled on the same worker. future::Cache defers maintenance to an internal async task and never holds a synchronous lock visible to the caller. Changes: - Field type: sync::Cache → future::Cache - get_from_cache / store_in_cache: now async, calls .await - clear_search_cache: added run_pending_tasks().await after invalidate Consistent with the pattern already used in thumbnail_service, image_transcode_service, and file_content_cache.
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:8086 in your browser.
Docker (alternative)
# Copy example environment file and customize
cp example.env .env
# Edit .env with your settings (optional - defaults work for quick testing)
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
