Nextbox colabora/onlyoffice

Is there any news when there will be a possibility for collaborative work on documents with Nextbox, by using for example Colabora or Onlyoffice? Thanks :grinning:

I regularly retry installing Collabora/NextCloudOffice on my NB, at each update. Still don’t work today July 28.

For OnlyOffice I don’t know -but I know it does work on small shared-hosting installations (I have one).
It also works, by default, on the Nextcloud offered for /e/OS users (the degoogled andoid for which this cloud replaces the google cloud).

This latter service, now called Murena, is moreover free for reasonable filesize hosting, independent from /e/. [disclaimer : in my family we are /e/ users, on Fairphones, with the Murena servers]

Now, IMHO OnlyOffice does not cover as much as Collabora, being restricted to Microsoft file formats among others.

Stay tuned for the next Collabora update :wink:

latest Collabora update attempt, as of July 20, 2024, crashes the NB server.
Will try OnlyOffice if I manage to restert properly the NB…

Unfortunately, I have not read your post before trying ;).

Best,

I did in fact manage to restart the Nextbox, it seems only the reaction times are verrrry slow if one tries to launch Collabora. So I deinstalled it.
As for OnlyOffice I am in an unexpected situation : there are two elements to be installed, the front-end and a local server. Both seem to install, but when I then try to open a document, I get the surprising message that there is no server… That’s where I am…
