Open-source cloud storage written Ruby on Rails


Does it exist?

I looked at a bounty the nextcloud project posted [1] and felt overwhelmed with the source code. I'm thinking a properly managed RoR project would be more accessible to extern contributors.

Based on the github issue https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/21370 I don't see anything unusual for such a large project. They have thousands of issues open, merge dozens of PRs per day. I wouldn't expect one can fix a bug in a complex project in only a couple of hours. When I submitted PRs to large projects I needed hours just to get the test suite running, read the contributor guidelines, provide test cases, all for a couple of lines of changes.

Why does it has to be written in ror? Look at minio. It is not written in ror,but can be used from ror.
