Permanent blob leak, three rows per image. Confirmed green after this. The leftovers named their source, and it had no manifest, no blob row and no files. Nothing will ever reap that hash again, so purge_derived_blobs can never fire for it — meaning the rows were written AFTER the source died, not left behind by a reap that skipped them. Two earlier attempts assumed the latter and fixed the wrong thing. Background thumbnail generation is spawned and unawaited, so an upload deleted promptly — constant in a test suite, occasional for real users — has its render finish after GC reaped the blob and then record three mappings to a corpse. Each pins its own thumbnail blob at ref_count 1, which GC is thereafter CORRECT to refuse: that is why three passes with force=true reclaimed nothing and why the leak was invisible, a healthy system declining to delete referenced data. store_derived_blob now inserts only WHERE the source still exists, checking both tables since source_hash names a Blob — a manifest for CDC content, a bare blob row for legacy whole-file content. A refused insert falls into the existing `inserted == 0` branch and releases the reference, so the thumbnail blob becomes collectible rather than stranded. Closed in both directions: if the source dies before the statement's snapshot the row is refused; if after, that reap's purge finds the row. 034f1050 stays — the bulk manifest reap genuinely lacked the purge that reap_blob had, and two manifest reap paths with only one purging is its own defect. It just was not this one. Still missing, and now clearly worth building: the orphan-mapping check the plan's coverage matrix already lists (content_derived_blobs. source_hash with no Blob behind it). This stops new ones; nothing yet finds the ones already on disk.
A fast self-hosted cloud for people who want files, calendars, contacts, and office editing without dragging a heavy stack behind them.

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.
Prebuilt binary
Binary releases (Linux musl amd64/arm64, macOS Intel/Apple Silicon)
are attached to every tagged release on GitHub — the whole SPA + all
operator subcommands + migrations bake into a single self-contained
executable. See docs/install/binary.md for
the download / verify / systemd walkthrough.
cargo binstall oxicloud works too once a release is out.
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

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
