I’m using the AIO instance of Nextcloud, provisioned as an Azure instance.
I have added my users via LDAP. We also have a few regular external users who will require access to the system so I am trying to add them in manually via “Add User” in Nextcloud.
However… I am getting an error when I try to add a user that looks like this:
I looked into the notification section and saw this:
Am I correct in thinking that if the software is OpenSource, then I should be able to add unlimited users? Or is there something I can do to get around this. I’m being quoted thousands of £ for a premium subscription simply because I’m unable to add more users.
No. You do not need it. Nextcloud AIO is free software with license AGPL v3. I think there is no community limit possible in this part of the software.
I do not use LDAP but maybe a LDAP problem.
LDAP uses $pagingSize == 500.
I tried this and it didn’t seem to make a difference.
In the Nextcloud config.php I’ve noticed a user limit. I’ve tried changing this to 500 too. But each time I update the entry, when I restart the container it resets back to 100. I’m not sure if the issue relates to that though.
If I change this 100 limit to 500 whilst the instance is running, then it works… It lets me add users. But as soon as I restart the instance, it defaults back to 100?
they are not documented anywhere (web docs or documented config), so i don’t know where they come from or what they mean. Changing the user limit or disabling the first option does nothing in my case, both when restarting and not restarting NC. But it also doesn’t reset itself the way it does for @CAdavida1992 . Might be an Azure thing in their case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is really halting our operations right now since we can’t onboard new members. Thanks in advance!

Nextcloud 25.0.0.18 Build 2022-10-18T08:34:52+00:00 20ea9a25353129b56d46951fe7d23939665ab2b2

For very small installations (<100 users) this is 100% free, though without any service or guarantees. For slightly larger installations (>100 users) we offer Nextcloud Enterprise, with support SLA, security information and all benefits that come with our enterprise product. https://nextcloud.com/all-in-one/
Is it not 100% free for >100 users without any service or guarantees? I do not want to be misunderstood. I think enterprise support is good and important, especially in commercial environments. But doesn’t the license say otherwise? Or is there a difference between <100 and >=100?
