Thanks for the help in advance.

Hey @OleVL, welcome to the Nextcloud community :waving_hand:

Is there a limit for users in the community version?

While Nextcloud is open source and the sky is the limit as far as user numbers and scale are concerned, you’ll need to be a little more specific about your use case.

The community forum is a community of volunteer enthusiasts helping and supporting fellow enthusiasts. The community has a huge knowledge base and there are some very clued up folks in the community who gladly share their knowledge and expertise in the spirit of open source.

Enterprise and corporate deployments are another ball game and require professional consultants, engineers and supporters who spend time and money gaining their expertise. These folks are certainly also enthusiasts, but their livelihood depends on that expertise.

Boundaries and limits are fluent and there’s plenty room for interpretation. As a rule of thumb you could say, from ~100 users you’re looking at a corporate instance and from ~500 users you’re looking at an enterprise solution and you’d be best looked after by the engineers, consultants and professional support at Nextcloud or affiliate partners.

Hello @OleVL,

You started a topic in support category. Unfortunately you ignored the template and a lot of information to help you is missing. Please edit your original post and add all required details like Nextcloud version, webserver type and version, os version, related log file content. Use the support template.

Without additional information the community members cannot help you.

Push notifications no longer work from >=500 users. As far as I know, this affects Android and iOS apps, as push notifications are sent via a push service provided by Nextcloud GmbH.

Nextcloud provides some infrastructure components needed for Nextcloud servers to function reliably. This includes notification services, our app store and more. To ensure these resources do not get overloaded by administrators who run Nextcloud for thousands of users without providing financial resources to Nextcloud in return, these components are limited and will not work for more than 500 users.
