Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I think I've hit a wall here. I set up both Collabara (CODE) and OnlyOffice (documentserver), and either I'm doing it wrong, or both require Nextcloud to provide the document editing UI. I really don't want to install Nextcloud. It feels like overkill.

Am I doing it wrong, or do both of those require Nextcloud.

It was easy to set up, but there's some quality of life issues with actually using it. Bulk uploading existing documents seems to not be supported. Even uploading one by one is rough. I have to either upload as a 'file' then convert to a 'document' type. Or I have to create a new document, then import and update the file name.

Still, it's the best option so far because the setup was so easy.

This looks like exactly what I want, plus extra security and privacy bits. I have no idea how it didn't show up in my other searches. I'm going to give this one a shot.

Isn't Cryptpad just hosted onlyoffice?

That's basically OnlyOffice with file storage. I'm not sure how that trumps Nextcloud

It was simple to set up in a single container with a single (and very not complex) docker compose file.

Honestly, the NC AIO is the same. I don't think you even need to change any of the environment options in the compose.

But glad you found something that works for you.
