OpenCloud Community
OpenCloud is a young community whose nucleus is OpenCloud GmbH and its employees. But, we want to grow and build a large, vital community for digital sovereignty together with open source enthusiasts, working together on the principles of open source collaboration.
Openness
OpenCloud is and remains open source software. This means that you can download and use the source code free of charge and without obligation. We welcome and encourage any kind of participation in the work on OpenCloud in the spirit of open source collaboration.
OpenCloud GmbH also offers paid builds of OpenCloud for use in environments where support, professional services and other services are required.
Who are we?
OpenCloud GmbH is a young company founded under the umbrella of the Heinlein Group and employs a team of developers who are familiar with the project code.
The combination of the Heinlein Group's many years of experience in the open source business and the unwavering enthusiasm of the developers, most of whom have many years of open source experience, provides the perfect foundation for an active project. And we warmly invite everyone to join us!
The foundation
The basis of the project is a fork of a widely used open source project whose components are co-developed by developers from the science organization CERN and other active participants. OpenCloud is now being continuously developed independently by the OpenCloud community and published under the Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0 licenses.
In the spirit of reusability of code under free licenses, we are grateful for the strong foundation on which we are building.
Published code
OpenCloud is committed to openness and transparency. The code for OpenCloud components is publicly available on GitHub and can be viewed and checked at any time.

Want to join in?
We actively encourage community participation and welcome any kind of contributions such as bug reports, suggestions for improvements, testing, deployments, code, translations, design and theming and much more.
In order to efficiently integrate these contributions into our development processes, we are building a structured process on GitHub. In the initial phase, we ask for your understanding and close cooperation as we shape this path together.
Our GitHub project page gives you an overview of the project. Please familiarize yourself with our contribution guidelines.
If you have any technical questions or suggestions, the OpenCloud team is available on GitHub Discussions or in our Matrix Channel.
Develop your own!
From the outset, it will be possible to adapt your own applications to OpenCloud or develop something completely new on the basis of OpenCloud. OpenCloud is available as a powerful platform for integrating web applications or as a universal storage layer for unstructured data.
OpenCloud is open and well documented. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The developer documentation for the first OpenCloud release will be published here shortly.
OpenCloud, Open Source and Open Minds.
We are currently looking for new colleagues who would like to work full-time, e.g. as a DevOps Engineer (m/f/d).
