ownCloud becomes part of Kiteworks - ownCloud
owncloud.com
Kiteworks and ownCloud join forces to underscore its commitment to the DACH market.

I guess that means it’s dead, as there’s no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

    Idk why you’d need LDAP login as the admin for a homelab.
    For other things like owncloud it makes sense but not there but eh…Personal preference I guess.

      Once I’ve set up SSO I’d want to use it in as many places as possible. Not having to handle additional unnecessary passwords is a benefit.

      I have something like 40-60 machines between hypervisors, VM, and physical. Central auth is an absolute must for that scale. Sure I could just re use the same password 60 times, but if that gets popped, I’d also have to change it 60 times (adding config management is a soon to be completed task)

        You can’t call that a home environment anymore.
        That is corporate scale and imo can be monetized

          Actually, I legally can’t make money off of it for reasons that would dox me.

          I already pay for both VMware and Microsoft licensing among several others. If I can get my SSO by saving a little bit of money by using a different product, I will. I don’t mind paying for software I use when it makes sense, I only disagree with companies up-charging features like SSO that should be available to all customers.
