  Only office is probably going to be your best bet.

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

      Okay, what would be your alternative?

    Why not libreoffice

      OnlyOffice is not the unmaintained OpenOffice.

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

    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?

  Nextcloud has collabora integrated.

    Unfortunately I am not a fan of NextCloud, it’s just too slowwwwww :(

    • mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      you can set up collabora without nextcloud, as well

      it’s definitively fast on my installation. Might I suggest looking at the log level and making sure it’s not set to INFO or DEBUG? That’s what was holding my instance back.

      I had the same experience, tried other stuff and eventually came back. Maybe I didn’t have redis and Maria setup right before but it’s much better for me this time around.

      Totally not saying that’s what was up for you though, it’s not for everyone.

      My AIO is very fast on mid hardware

  There’s cryptpad though I don’t have a clue how complicated it is to manage. But it’s a decent user experience.

  • Xanza@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Cryptpad is basically a frontend to ONLYOFFICE web. It’s nice, but ONLYOFFICE requires quite a bit of system resources because its java based. As an alternative, I highly recommend WPS Office instead. Significantly more lightweight.

    • moonpiedumplings@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      This is like that other recommendation of a linuxserver/kasmvnc docker image as well. It doesn’t allow for collaborative editing like cryptpad or google docs does.

  i don’t know much about custom fonts, but there are two main options for self-hosted “word” replacements:

  • Collabora CODE - LibreOffice wrapped up as a web application
  • OnlyOffice

  I use Collabora with Nextcloud (hence the link).

  Moving this to a top-level comment.

  Overleaf is fantastic, as long as you are okay with non-WYSIWYG document editing and learning some LaTeX.

  Typst is also worth looking at, as a similar concept. It uses a very different language than LaTeX, but feels more in touch with modern sensibilities.

  • mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    i find the latex fonts weird to deal with. for me it is more a thing of setting up your template the way you wanr it and keep sailing with that.

    source

    • Hawke@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I find them okay, but I am much more concerned with consistent fonts than with a variety of decorative fonts.

      The defaults fonts feel very old-fashioned though.

  you could have a look at etherpad. seems pretty cool and is extensible with plugins. i don’t know about resource consumption and security aspects, tho, because i don’t personally use it.
