Exactly one year ago, I gave OnlyOffice in combination with Nextcloud a try. The pressure to have an Online Office Suite for the household kept rising and Collabora Online Office just didn’t cut it for me. I immediately liked OnlyOffice, as it was just as quick in the browser as a locally installed Libreoffice and … Continue reading OnlyOffice, Nextcloud and Mobile Devices
I’ve been working with OnlyOffice in combination with my Nextcloud setup on a server in a datacenter in Finland for a couple of months now, and I have to say I’m quite satisfied. Compared to the Collabora Online setup I used before for many years, the user interface is swift, and it doesn’t really matter … Continue reading OnlyOffice Online During a Train Ride
Back in July, I had a couple of posts how to get a ‘dockerized’ version of OnlyOffice to play with Nextcloud. The docker-compose.yml files I found at the time in the developer company’s resources downloaded and then built the OnlyOffice image locally. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it takes a bit to startup the … Continue reading Nextcloud – OnlyOffice Install – Self-Built vs. Docker Hub Image
In the previous post, I discussed how to do a straight forward OnlyOffice install on a server or VM with docker-compose and then connect it to a Nextcloud installation running on another server. It turned out that this was phenomenally simple. Now that everything is up and running and working like a charm, I wanted … Continue reading Nextcloud – OnlyOffice Install – With A Reverse Proxy
In the previous post on the topic, I gave a general overview of how Nextcloud and OnlyOffice can play together. There are many ways to combine the two online services and hence, installation instructions that can be found on the net from Nextcloud, from OnlyOffice, from third parties and from each with many different installation … Continue reading Nextcloud – OnlyOffice Install – Quick and Simple
For working collaboratively on text documents with others, I’ve been using Nextcloud and Libreoffice / Collabora Online. Unfortunately, Collabora Online must have been designed to be used on-premise, as the document rendering is done on the server. Any network delay noticeably slows down the output and generates other undesired side effects. So I decided to … Continue reading Online Word Processing – Part 4 – OnlyOffice and Nextcloud – For Real
Collaborating on a text document or spreadsheet with other people and thus editing it in the browser instead of with a local application will definitely become more and more common. Collabora’s Online office solution doesn’t work so well for me, and I won’t use a closed source solution such as Microsoft 365 online for my … Continue reading Online Word Processing – Part 3 – ONLYOFFICE
In the previous episode on this topic, I’ve been taking a look at Colabora Online and word processing in the browser in combination with Nextcloud. Unfortunately, in my humble opinion, Colabora Online suffers from a number of shortcomings, that have never been fixed over the years. My main issue with the solution is that the … Continue reading Online Word Processing – Part 2 – MS Office Online
Over the past years, I’ve been using the Collabora Online / LibreOffice integration of my Nextcloud instance at home to collaboratively work on text documents and spreadsheets. While this works in general, there are a number of issues that have not improved for me over the years which make it difficult to encourage people to … Continue reading Online Word Processing – Part 1 – LibreOffice / Collabora
This post might be a bit out of the overall context but I thought it couldn’t hurt to loose a few words about a recent coding project of mine. As you might have noticed, I have put some of my open source projects on Gitlab after emigrating from Github last year (and moved on to … Continue reading Creating Libreoffice Documents on the Server with PHP
