Can you self host libreoffice for a google docs alternative?

Yes. Collabora is the maintainer for the online version (as well as the Android). Easiest way to host is via nextcloud.

No, Libre Office is offline only.

You need to look at something like Only Office, a free/open source web based office suite, which supports collaboration.

I stand corrected, there is a web-version of libre office, although they don’t support it directly, they do provide builds etc.

I have been looking into cryptpad, but I don’t know if it is really secure/private, but it appears to be a privacy-oriented, self-host able google doc alternative: https://cryptpad.org

Hey, all the bug fixes in the world is great, but honestly? Just give me a proper dark mode. That’s genuinely all I want at the moment. MS Office has had proper dark mode for years.

And yes I say proper dark mode because although it has dark mode it is absolute shit. The “paper” is still blazing white; meanwhile, in MS Office it is a pleasant grey so you can still differentiate it from the background while maintaining the dark mode as a dark mode.


Edit: Evidently, I was wrong. It does support it. Clearly I either was doing it wrong and/or was misunderstanding it. Sorry for the falsehood!

EDIT: So, apparently it does have a proper dark mode that I didn’t know about. My apologies. Oooof, we can only dream. That sunny white paper blinding you in the dark mode is a major turn off. I still use it, though. I appreciate the rest of the suit for sure.

Same link without AMP in case someone wants it: https://www.debugpoint.com/how-to-enable-dark-mode-libreoffice/

Basically, go into Application Colors in Settings and set the colour scheme there.

I wouldn’t be so negative. The first thing I saw after reading the parent comment was a reply refuting it, with a screenshot of the dark mode. I think that’s pretty good

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
