Microsoft alternative: Nextcloud and Ionos develop open-source ‘Euro-Office’ (www.heise.de)

Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant Microsoft Office.

The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub.

While this is a good news, I think they should move from github, you know microslop copilot..

I moved my data there a couple of months ago and couldn’t be happier. Maybe try a different provider?

I love Nextcloud, but I have everything running in containers, and I have them auto updating on system boot.

Its a super powerful software. Its on my top list of self hosting software. But it breaks so often with auto updates. And there is the potential of having to reinstall it because of a broken install, and your personal service being down for weeks.

Borg backups work, but they are not intuitive to setup when using containers.

Auto setting up trusted domains is not intuitive.

My solution going forward, is to have secondary containers which I don’t update as frequently, that point to the same user files folder on the primary containers. Kind of like having my services load balanced. I plan on doing this for some of my other containers that are frequently down.

In my experience, services that require more than 1 container are the ones that crash the most. Especially when they connect to a database container.

my advise: do not update immediately to a freshly released major version of Nextcloud. Just wait several point releases.

That's fair, but even then it might break when I update it. I think rotating containers on which one I update is the way to go so I always have 1 running.

I've never tried this technique but I'm curious to try it out.
