Implementación y optimización del despliegue de una herramienta para la colaboración de contenidos mediante software libre en un entorno de prueba controlado

Abstract

Abstract: This Capstone Project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a content collaboration tool based on free and open-source software within a controlled testing environment. Through a comparative analysis of commercial and open-source tools, using a weighted decision matrix, Nextcloud was selected as the most suitable option in terms of security, privacy, and scalability. Subsequently, a self-managed deployment of Nextcloud was designed and implemented on Amazon Web Services using technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, Redis, and MariaDB Galera Cluster. Functional, security, scalability, and performance tests were conducted, validating the technical feasibility of the solution. Based on the findings, an optimized architecture was proposed to overcome the identified limitations, aimed at large-scale deployments. The research concludes that Nextcloud is a feasible alternative for organizations prioritizing digital sovereignty, although its implementation entails higher costs and technical requirements compared to traditional SaaS solutions.
