La Suite numérique is a open source WIP office suite developped by french and german governments to replace proprietary office suite. Theyre self-hosteable but i found the official install instructions unclear to follow, and they have only instructions to install one app at a time. So i've used helmfile and did a one-command install myself.
Have fun
Update : now supports https://dekube.io/ to deploy with docker compose ( https://github.com/baptisterajaut/lasuite-platform/blob/main/docs/compose-deployment.md )

Here's an alternative: https://www.opendesk.eu/en No guarantees though. But it looks nice.
I'm not affiliated with opendesk in any of way

I’ve also been looking at this as an alternative! I need to make a proposal for my boss with our objectives and how the different options compare.

Mention to them that libreoffice is free and open source.

She knows, it’s what I use every day. The issue is we need a complete system now that we’ve grown from basically one and a half people to 5-6 all in different locations and use different OS’s. She’s very much supportive of open source but none of us are sysadmins…. I struggle enough with my home server, I’m not risking my teams work. We might be able to make this plus a few other things work though. Also for some of our contracts and funding the govt has insisted on windows.

Did they homemake everything ?
No NextCloud, no OnlyOffice ?
pokexpert30@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 212d
Looks like so
fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 212d
Yes NextCloud. No OnlyOffice it seems. On the Netherlands produced production focused fork https://github.com/MinBZK/mijn-bureau-infra
artyom@piefed.social · 0 pts · 212d
No, most of it is existing FOSS rebranded.
KaKi87@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 212d
What did they use ?

https://element.io/en/case-studies/tchap
Blisterexe@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 211d
not true, the only one that's just a rebranded pre-existing app is tchap, and most of them are made from scratch

Why not just use Nextcloud instead of this broken toolset?
pokexpert30@jlai.lu · 7 pts · 212d
Because indépendance
artyom@piefed.social · 3 pts · 212d
From whom/what?
pokexpert30@jlai.lu · 5 pts · 212d
Outside companies ? If you rely on nextcloud and they do a minio/elasticsearch/whatever things that were open source until they weren't?
artyom@piefed.social · 2 pts · 212d
How do you think any of the products in OP are different?
pokexpert30@jlai.lu · 4 pts · 212d
Développed by french (and German) governments. Not private companies.
artyom@piefed.social · 4 pts · 212d
They're FOSS, just like Nextcloud. Based on software developed by other companies.
KaKi87@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 212d
Broken how ?
artyom@piefed.social · 0 pts · 212d
I mean it's a bunch of different open source tools that don't have any sort of integration.
