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.

FOSS version of google docs to run on a home server? (lemmy.world)

So I want to build a home server to use as a media server, and to back up my photos etc.

I am also currently doing an online course, and happen to spend some time at work as well as at home working on it. I don't like using Google where I can help it, but I find google docs really useful. So I'm wondering if there's an open source application that works essentially the same, but I could run off my own server? It would have to be web-based as I use Windows at work and can't install new programs :/

edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I've got quite a few leads to follow now, it should be fun!

I’m using Onlyoffice and it works really well. Although I use it with kDrive from Infomaniak, I’m almost sure you can run it on your own server.

In fact I managed to ditch Google for everything but I can’t find a good replacement for Google photos which I’m not using anymore.

@Dariusmiles2123 @JoelJ
for photos, I decided to buy a raspberry pi two years ago and to host photos and videos for my familly, using a free software with application on mobile phones (ios and android).
The compagny has a hosted offer, but i prefered to do in my own.
software is: https://piwigo.org/
and forum is there: https://piwigo.org/forum/
Enjoy
If question don't hesitate.

Thanks for the answer.

I’d really want to keep my pictures on my kDrive and just have some remote access to the pictures via whatever protocol.

Maybe what I need doesn’t exist and I’ll have to wait until kDrive gets its own photo management tool😇

@Dariusmiles2123
kDrive is accessible under Ubuntu, Windows and MaOS, it means that piwigo should be able to manage photos store on kDrive.

I’ll give it a try then. Thanks
