  As long as you’re okay with an interface that slavishly clones the terrible MS-Word ribbon bar.

    Okay, what would be your alternative?

      I’m not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs seems to be the first and only one that actually put some new thought into how to organize their toolbar, so that’s my go-to.

  Why not libreoffice

    OnlyOffice is not the unmaintained OpenOffice.

      Thanks for the correction

    So, LibreOffice can be used over the Internet in a web browser?

      hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/libreoffice

      I believe so.

        Ah, I see. Not as native web application, though.

        They’re using Alpine Linux, install X and Openbox and Xvnc and serve KasmVNC via Nginx and connect via KasmVNC to that X instance. LibreOffice is started in fullscreen and looks like a slightly blurry web application.

        But in reality it is just a regular desktop installation with some extra things.

        @fikran@lemm.ee, maybe this is a solution? I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not really a web-based document editor.

      I use Collabora CODE, which is an online version of LibreOffice. I don’t know a ton about the technical details, but I’m pretty sure it does server side rendering.

      Here’s a guide to configure it with Nextcloud.

  Do you have any experience installing only office?

  I’ve tried installing it many times over the past decade with only one successful attempt about a decade ago.

  Every few years I try to install it again and fail

  I’m trying to install it now but again, nothing. I’ve tried installing it using the official scripts which wreck the operating system. Dame for using the official debs.

  So I tried using the docker version and that just doesn’t do anything at all. I try opening the page on the right port and it connects and disconnects immediately.

  I’ve used only office and it’s awesome. However, nothing is as hard to install as onlyofffice

    Is this shitty AI? This comment makes no sense. If not AI, maybe some key words got mixed up?
