orneos.eu ↗Nextcloud-based mail and cloud workspace from France
Everything runs on a single server at Contabo in Germany, including mail and the domain's name servers. Ornis, an optional assistant based on a Mistral model, reads the email or appointment you ask it about; Orneos does not name who runs the model. The service started in 2026 and offers no service level agreement.

Operations
Who runs the parts of the service we could observe from outside, checked 27 October 2026. A provider's control can differ from where its servers stand.
| Part | Provider | Provider control | What we saw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core hosting | Contabo (KKR) · Germany (Contabo EU region, RIPE allocation DE); IP geolocation says Lauterbourg, France | Not European | app.orneos.eu (Nextcloud 35.0.2), login, mail, signaling (Talk signalling and TURN on port 3478), office (ONLYOFFICE Docs Community Edition), search and status all resolve to the single IPv4 address 157.173.121.41 (PTR vmi2151755.contaboserver.net; RIPE 157.173.112.0/20, netname TT-20240614, Contabo GmbH, AS51167). Orneos names Contabo GmbH, Munich, as its only hosting sub-processor and says no hosted data leaves the EU. Contabo is majority-owned by KKR. DNS shows routing, not backup locations, which are not disclosed. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] |
| Public website | Contabo (KKR) · Germany (Contabo EU region) | Not European | orneos.eu A 157.173.121.41, no AAAA; www is a CNAME to orneos.eu. Served by nginx on the same VPS as the cloud, mail and DNS. The pages load only first-party scripts, styles and fonts. [1] [2] |
| Authoritative DNS | Contabo (KKR) · Germany (Contabo EU region) | Not European | NS ns1.orneos.eu and ns2.orneos.eu are run by the operator and both resolve to 157.173.121.41, the same Contabo server as the service, so the name servers have no network redundancy. No DS record (no DNSSEC). Registrar: OVH SAS. [1] [2] |
| Incoming email | Contabo (KKR) · Germany (Contabo EU region) | Not European | MX 0 mail.orneos.eu, which resolves to 157.173.121.41 (Contabo, AS51167). Operator-run mail on the same VPS, with IMAP on 993 and submission on 587/465. MTA-STS mode is enforce. [1] [2] [3] |
| Outgoing email | Contabo (KKR) · Germany (Contabo EU region) | Not European | SPF v=spf1 a mx ip4:157.173.121.41 -all authorises only the operator's own server, with no third-party sender. DKIM selector mail; DMARC p=quarantine pct=100. The SMTP greeting names vmi2151755.contaboserver.net. SPF lists authorised senders, not measured delivery. [1] [2] |
| Payments | Stripe Payments Europe (Stripe) · Ireland (contracting entity) | Not European | The legal notice, sales terms and DPA name Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. for payment and billing of paid plans, through Stripe's hosted payment page. Orneos says it receives and keeps no card data. Stripe group control is distinct from the Irish entity. [1] |
| Supporting service | Nextcloud GmbH STUN server · Germany (Hetzner, AS24940) | European | The app's Content-Security-Policy allows stun.nextcloud.com:443 next to Orneos's own TURN server, signaling.orneos.eu:3478, for Meet calls (Nextcloud Talk 25.0.6). A STUN server learns each participant's public IP address during call setup, not call content. stun.nextcloud.com resolves to 46.225.95.169 (Hetzner, DE). [1] [2] [3] |
| Supporting service (optional) | OpenStreetMap tile servers via Fastly | Not European | The app's Content-Security-Policy allows images from *.tile.openstreetmap.org, which is served by Fastly (AS54113). Map views, such as photo places, would load tiles directly in the browser and expose the visitor's IP address. Actual requests were not observed without an account, so this is recorded as a map feature only. [1] [2] [3] |
| Supporting service (optional) | Mistral AI (Ornis assistant) · Orneos says only 'hosted in the EU'; Mistral lists Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the EEA for its API | Unknown | The help page says Ornis sends what it reads from the user's apps (an email, an appointment) to Mistral for the time of the answer, and the legal notice calls it Orneos's AI, hosted in the EU, on a Mistral AI model. Mistral AI is not in the published sub-processor list, which names only Contabo and Stripe. Nextcloud reports the OpenAI-compatible connector with a non-OpenAI endpoint. Whether that is Mistral AI's API or a self-hosted Mistral model was not established. Ornis is opened by the user. The search AI overview is on by default for signed-in users and can be turned off. Mistral AI's ultimate control is unresolved in this catalogue. [1] [2] [3] [4] |
| Search results (optional) | Google, Microsoft Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage and Wikipedia | Not European | Orneos Recherche (search.orneos.eu) is a metasearch page. The legal notice says search terms go to these engines without the user's identity or IP address, result images are proxied, and searches are not logged. It is used only when someone searches there; mail, files and calendar do not depend on it. The engines are not listed as processors. [1] [2] |
| App platform (optional) | Apple App Store (Nextcloud iOS app) | Not European | iPhone users are sent to Nextcloud's own iOS app in the App Store and connect it with a code. Browser access and native IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV setup through a configuration profile are alternatives. The store processes download and account data under Apple's policy, not file content. Android apps are direct APK downloads from orneos.eu, with no Google Play listing. [1] [2] |
| App platform (optional) | Mozilla Add-ons | Not European | Optional Orneos browser extension for bookmarks, passwords, notes and search, published on addons.mozilla.org on 15 October 2026. The legal notice says it sends data only to app.orneos.eu and search.orneos.eu. Chrome and Edge versions are claimed, but their store listings were not verified. [1] [2] |
The legal notice names Contabo GmbH in Munich for hosting and Stripe Payments Europe for payments, and says no hosted data leaves the EU. Website, cloud, mail and both name servers resolve to one Contabo server in Germany; Contabo is majority-owned by the US investor KKR. Ornis uses a Mistral model whose operator is not in the processor list. The search page forwards queries to Google, Bing and other engines without the user's IP address.
