#NextCloud Office with #Collabora: "doesn't spark joy" would be a compliment. 😔

Still a long way to go for FOSS in this corner.

I wonder what organizations running NextCloud are using for collaborative office solutions. Is it OnlyOffice? Something else? No collaboration but NextCloud sync somehow and local LibreOffice? 🤔

Has somebody experience here?

@publicvoit OnlyOffice felt nice - but is tainted

@number137 @publicvoit I'm using Collabora. Functionally it is ok. Design-wise it there is room for improvement...

But it is free and gets the job done quite well, so what? 🤔

@theron29 @number137 I see. Then you do have totally different experience compared to my few tests so far. 👍

@publicvoit @number137 The question here is, what exactly do you need in/with your documents?

Still, by my experience I can say that e.g. MSOffice online also lacks some basic functions too...

@theron29 @number137 My initial use-cases were pretty basic:

Spreadsheet: simple document with 4 sheets + references across sheets. Wrong viewpoints all the time.

Wordprocessing: creating a new document & trying to edit. Even that failed multiple times. When it was finally open, the lag was dramatically (approx. 5-10s for each interaction).

Filemanagement (NextCloud): renaming a file failed a couple of times until it worked.

So far, everything related to NextCloud was a desaster to me. 😔

HerrRossihsGsg,

@publicvoit @theron29 @number137 Hi, if your problems start with a simple file rename...then maybe you should look more for problems on the Server/hosting, nextcloud installation or performance, then on Nextcloud/Collabora in general?

@HerrRossihsGsg @theron29 @number137 I'll ping the admin.

@publicvoit @number137 Sorry to hear that 😞

Would you care to share your setup, how you are running it? Or what are you trying to achieve?

I'm running the Nextcloud and Collabora office at my home, on a RPi4, behind reverse proxy and SSL, accessible on my public domain from the internet, and it works pretty well...

@theron29 @number137 Weird. I'll ask the admin.

That sounds like a major performance and/or caching issue for me too. The more recent nextcloud versions seems to need more caching space.
