I read through the project as I worked with several document storage solution before and still lookin for an ideal solution. Filenet is horribly overpriced from IBM, Alfresco looks nice but have serious performance issues (my experience is from 2020), SharePoint is only nice if everything is Microsoft... Apache Oak is an abandoned project with a lot of things that seems to be in it but didnt get finished (e.g. CMIS p…

Check out https://www.nuxeo.com I’m running their open source solution using docker on my nas. I’m truthfully not using it too much, but it’s an option

We're using it at $Work and search is an absolute nightmare. I can never find what I want with it.

SharePoint had better search than Nuxeo, for instance.

To be honest, I just went for a small business subscription of Office 365 for personal use, which also gives you mail with a custom domain. SharePoint is decent enough when accessed from the mobile OneDrive App and offers out of the box indexing + OCR of images and pdfs. Also their document scanner is good enough to quickly get rid of all paper coming in...

For personal use I personally like the office suite. Bloat, but everything works without tinkering.

My use case with CMS is business related. I'm looking for a solution that can

handle millions of documents and folders,

versioning files,

handle metadata to the saved files(types),

be able to search between documents fast,

has a standard protocol or at least a nice API(nice==documented),

able to handle java transactions (xa) and

has a UI for manual testing

Self hosted option

ResourceSpace is fine, opensource and can be self-hosted. https://www.resourcespace.com/

Don't think it's open source. Atleast no information on the site

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have lost count the number of times I’ve searched for a doc in Google drive and found nothing. It’s shockingly bad given that Google literally is a SEARCH company.

Google was a search company. Now it is an advertising company.

You know their largest revenue stream.

Alfresco was supposed to be the OSS alternative to documentum/stellent/etc closed source systems. It was basically a freemium model, which means that a complete OSS solution is out of reach. This basically looks like the same thing. I guess Hashicorp is slightly better at OSS, but... I dunno. A DMS needs: 1) storage (duh) 2) metadata 3) permissions enforcement 4) search / indexing 5) rendering to pdf and pdf signing…

There's that new government I.T. development office that was set up under Obama. Give the task to them.
