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 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.
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’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.
Seafile and OnlyOffice are quite stable.
