#collaboraoffice is excellent free alternative to Googles collaborative office technology, its based on Libre Office technology, #collabora is the largest contributor to #libreoffice and does a lot of other good for #freesoftware . You can install it super easy if you have a #nextcloud instance, or if you use a nice cloud host, or for no charge if you want to learn some systems administration and use your own hardware.

For many years, I preferred the traditional way of deploying and maintaining my #Nextcloud :nextcloud_logo: server.

About a year ago, I decided to give the AIO a try — and honestly, it's a real game changer. Really easy to deploy! Not just for the Nextcloud server itself (which was always pretty straightforward), but also for all the additional components like #Collabora, the whiteboard, the Talk HPB and recording server, and more. Everything can be selected or deselected with a single click in the management container — and everything is set up correctly just a few seconds later. 🚀

Even more fascinating: I haven't had to perform a single Nextcloud or app update since then. Every night, the management container runs a backup to my Borg server. During this process, all containers and apps are updated, keeping my Nextcloud installation constantly up to date.

I haven't had to restore a backup yet, but if I ever need to reinstall my server, I can simply point the management container to the Borg backup — and it will automatically restore everything from the backup!

Huge thanks to Simon and everyone who worked on this fantastic piece of software!
