Core
This project is a self-hosted cloud storage server and content collaboration platform implemented as a PHP web application framework. It functions as a centralized server for storing, synchronizing, and sharing files and data across multiple devices.
The system operates as a WebDAV file server and a synchronization server for scheduling and contact information using CalDAV and CardDAV protocols. It features a plugin architecture that allows the server to be extended with additional applications and custom features.
The platform provides capabilities for user and group access management, external storage integration, and the exposure of data through a REST API. It also includes a command-line interface for administrative tasks and the execution of background processing jobs.
