oCIS is all about files, sync and share - but most of the time there is more you want to do with your files, e.g. having a different view on your photo collection or editing your offices files in an online file editor. ownCloud 10 faced the same problem and solved it with `applications`, which can extend the functionality of ownCloud 10 in a wide range. Since oCIS is different in its architecture compared to ownCloud 10, we had to come up with a similiar (yet slightly different) solution. To extend the functionality of oCIS, you can write or install `extensions`. An extension is basically any running code which integrates into oCIS and provides functionality to oCIS and its users. Because extensions are just microservices providing an API, you can technically choose any programming language you like - a huge improvement to ownCloud 10, where it was nearly impossible to use a different programming language than PHP.

We will now introduce you to the oCIS extension system and show you how you can create a custom extension yourself.

oCIS consists of multiple micro services, also called extensions. We started by having standalone repositories for each of them, but quickly noticed that this adds a time consuming overhead for developers. So we ended up with a monorepo housing all the extensions in one repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Each extension lives in a subfolder (eg. `accounts` or `settings`) within this respository as an independent Go module, following the [golang-standard project-layout](https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout). They have common Makefile targets and can be used to change, build and run individual extensions. This allows us to version and release each extension independently.

The `ocis` folder contains our [go-micro](https://github.com/asim/go-micro/) and [suture](https://github.com/thejerf/suture) based runtime. It is used to import all extensions and implements commands to manage them, similar to a small orchestrator. With the resulting oCIS binary you can start single extensions or even all extensions at the same time.
