Lightweight self-hosted cloud with Deno, file sync, CalDAV contacts/calendar.
Core Features
- File storage and sharing with desktop & mobile sync
- CalDAV contacts and calendar integration (Radicale)
- Easy Docker Compose deployment; community NixOS & Helm support
- Built with Deno – lightweight, performant, simple config
- Built-in database migrations and cron jobs
What It Can't Do
- •The first signup always becomes admin even if signups are disabled. 2. File permission issues: run sudo chown -R 1993:1993 data-files (1993 is the default user in Deno image). 3. You need to set up a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx/Caddy) for domain and HTTPS.
Use Cases
- Personal/family private cloud storage as a lighter alternative to Nextcloud
- Small teams or enthusiasts needing calendar and contact sync
- Minimal-resource self-hosted cloud environment
bewCloud is a modern, self-hostable cloud platform built entirely with Deno (not PHP or Node.js). It provides file storage and sharing, as well as contacts and calendar synchronization via CalDAV (using Radicale). The project includes official desktop sync and mobile apps. Deployment is straightforward via Docker Compose, with community-maintained NixOS and Helm chart integrations. The platform is designed to be lightweight, secure, and easy to configure. It supports automatic database migrations, cron jobs, and environment-based configuration. The first user to sign up always becomes an admin, even if signups are disabled. The project is sponsored by NLnet Foundation and actively maintained.
