Web-based Document Editor?

I believe so.

Nextcloud has collabora integrated.

Cryptpad is basically a frontend to ONLYOFFICE web. It's nice, but ONLYOFFICE requires quite a bit of system resources because its java based. As an alternative, I highly recommend WPS Office instead. Significantly more lightweight.
-
Ah, I see. Not as native web application, though.
They’re using Alpine Linux, install X and Openbox and Xvnc and serve KasmVNC via Nginx and connect via KasmVNC to that X instance. LibreOffice is started in fullscreen and looks like a slightly blurry web application.
But in reality it is just a regular desktop installation with some extra things.
@[email protected], maybe this is a solution? I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not really a web-based document editor.
-
OnlyOffice is not the unmaintained OpenOffice.
-
Thanks for the correction
-
Oh that looks horrible, never mind!

I’m not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs seems to be the first and only one that actually put some new thought into how to organize their toolbar, so that’s my go-to.

Moving this to a top-level comment.
Overleaf is fantastic, as long as you are okay with non-WYSIWYG document editing and learning some LaTeX.
Typst is also worth looking at, as a similar concept. It uses a very different language than LaTeX, but feels more in touch with modern sensibilities.
-
I use Collabora CODE, which is an online version of LibreOffice. I don't know a ton about the technical details, but I'm pretty sure it does server side rendering.
-
i don't know much about custom fonts, but there are two main options for self-hosted "word" replacements:
- Collabora CODE - LibreOffice wrapped up as a web application
- OnlyOffice
I use Collabora with Nextcloud (hence the link).
-
Usually you just see LibreOffice and nothing else, so it’s fine, I guess. Not a web-based editor, but usable.
-
Unfortunately I am not a fan of NextCloud, it's just too slowwwwww
-
My AIO is very fast on mid hardware
-
I had the same experience, tried other stuff and eventually came back. Maybe I didn't have redis and Maria setup right before but it's much better for me this time around.
Totally not saying that's what was up for you though, it's not for everyone.
-
This is like that other recommendation of a linuxserver/kasmvnc docker image as well. It doesn't allow for collaborative editing like cryptpad or google docs does.
-
it's definitively fast on my installation. Might I suggest looking at the log level and making sure it's not set to INFO or DEBUG? That's what was holding my instance back.
-
A few releases ago they made massive improvements in Speed. I use NC since the Split from OwnCloud and that performance Upgrade recently was truly impressive.
-
you could have a look at etherpad. seems pretty cool and is extensible with plugins. i don't know about resource consumption and security aspects, tho, because i don't personally use it.
-
i find the latex fonts weird to deal with. for me it is more a thing of setting up your template the way you wanr it and keep sailing with that.
