Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nextcloud is laggy and bloated, would not recommend
Good application but performance sucks
It's fine if you don't set it up on a dogshit slow rPi and use postgres/redis in the docker compose. Every time I see this comment, it's because of configuration errors or horrible hardware.
Man, use Sharepoint on anything under a dual Xeon and see true lag.
This is true, with a couple gigs of RAM and SATA storage Nextcloud is not at all bad. Assuming an instance with not that much simultaneous users.
It feels like slow sometimes, then after an hour with M365 at work it doesn't feel slow at all.
Is there a way to transition from MariaDB to Postgres? I used the mariadb / redis version of the docker-compose, but now I hear everyone says Postgres is better for performance?
Create your users in the new install, move each users files to the created folders from your old install, and use the OCC addfiles command to enumerate the new files into the new db.
There is a db migration command that I used to do the same thing, was pretty painless, just needed to run that and then update the config iirc
Thanks. Would occ files:scan work as well?
That's the one. I haven't used it for a while, sounds about right.
I ran it on a Dell EMC server blade and it was still awful. I couldn't help but think I was doing something wrong, because its performance was shockingly bad. I also couldn't get any of the office stuff to work acceptably, so I've given up on it for the time being.
What you mean bloated? It is laggy in web browser, but using client apps solve that problem. It would be awesome if its more snappy, but I couldnt find anything better for my needs. What do you use?
I was running the desktop app and the web app. I meant the server is laggy, though as it was melting my raspberry pi down to do something I could achieve with much lighter weight tools
Running on a raspberry pi it was struggling to serve even one user
I've seen owncloud merge files together. Like, you open one file and see data from another file inside it. That to me was a dealbreaker.
Docker OnlyOffice HW requirements are a bit... Odd?
What, you don't have 6 cores and 12GB of RAM on your 2€/month VPS?
I have that on my RPi 50B! /s
We joke, but I actually have an 8-core Orange Pi with 16GB RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD that performs really well running Debian/Gnome!
Yes, I know these are far more powerful than RPi4s. I just wen with RPi because of cost and community...

A server with 6 cores and 16GB of RAM costs like $14 per month.
Link please?

Your comment made me check that, and yeah, those requirements can be extreme for someone like me who look to use it for two pcs and a phone on a 6th gen intel nuc
I run the Community Edition of OnlyOffice documents server on my home server in Docker. My server has a Core i77 7700 and 32GB of RAM. And tons of other Docker containers. No issues.
I mean... My "servers" are a cheap VPS with 2 GB ram and a RPi 4 with 4 GB ram. Doubt any of them would be able to run OOCE decently.
I was curious, so I took a look at what it was using. At idle, it sits at 927.4 MB, and 0.1% of my CPU (the 7700 is only a 4 core CPU). I opened and edited a Word document on OnlyOffice (I have it connected using the Nextcloud connector). It spiked to 1GB of RAM, and momentary spikes to 35% of CPU, and then back down to 0.1-0.2% of CPU. I'd say it's worth trying at least. Worst case scenario, you delete the Docker container if it's unworkable.
However, I think the Community Edition is lighter than advertised.
Oh, well. Thank you for your test. I may give it a try, then.
Those specs seem likely to be extrapolated from the resource usage of their SaaS solution 😳
Wouldn't be surprised if it actually ended up needing that though, some game servers for example will happily chomp down 10GB+ of RAM with just two people online doing nothing
Or rather they want to discourage self-hosting in favour of their SaaS.
But the OO Document server will happily run with about 1gb RAM and small CPU use.
edit: ah this is about the full OO suite. Well most of that is written in bloated asp.net so no wonder.
Try Nextcloud. You might need to setup nextcloud office (collabora)
Some options on here that I wasn't even aware of! Nice!
You might also wanna check yunohost.org . It's a well organized self hosting platform where you can install with few clicks and has huge amount of Foss apps, including office and media ones and Nextcloud that others suggested.
or if you don´t want to host it yourself: https://qlick.cloud and use Nextcloud which comes with Collabora Online installed.
I adore Seafile and this looks like a great option. I haven't been able to get it going on my instance yet, but I'm still learning all of this self hosting and FOSS stuff.
After a lot of searching (granted, years ago) I landed on
Nextcloud with only office.
Nextcloud is pretty awesome. Open source, well supported, new versions like once or twice a year, aetric shittonne of plugins, its awesome.
Onlyoffice feels a lot like Microsoft office, but is online open source, and allows multi user editing, which was always a bit of a pain point with colabora.
Etherpad
OnlyOffice?
Seafile and OnlyOffice are quite stable.
