ONLYOFFICE VS yunohost

You could try free and open source alternatives of Office software, such as Libre office and Only office, I personally recommend these two due to popularity and also, Only office is the only one that looks most identical to Office 365 imo, and when it comes to keeping all the documents and other stuff, you can use Insync, and you can use alternatives of Photoshop such as GIMP or Krita, or you can simply use wine to run Photoshop as if it's being used on Windows

ONLYOFFICE

It works in Windows so you can try it: https://www.onlyoffice.com/

Excel might not work, but [ONLYOFFICE](www.onlyoffice.com) is almost a pixel-perfect alternative.

If you want an open source option for editing office documents I've used OnlyOffice with NextCloud and it works pretty well.

Only Office

OnlyOffice is a good MS Word alternative: https://www.onlyoffice.com/

I use onlyoffice[0] because MS Office doesn't run on Linux. It is open source and seems to have the best compatibility with MS Office. You can self host it and/or use it locally. It also integrates with e.g. nextcloud or seafile.

Some features are missing yes, but the usability (IMO) is better than Libre-/OpenOffice.

I don't know how good the collaboration is but they seem to advertise for it.

I know it's not Docker, but Yunohost is pretty good for ease of use.

It's been 6 months I give selfhost a try. Using an old pc and https://yunohost.org/ I'm very happy with it.

On the other end of the spectrum you have communists running Data Centers out of their basement. $

*I suggest Linode.* Super reliable provider, much less price than the big names. I would expect the same service out of DigitalOcean, Vultr... just pick the company where you like the owners honestly. Linode's the one me teacher used tho.

Assuming you got the income, $40/mo for 8GB should be good enough to run a ton of hobby projects. Or maybe $20 for 4GB to start, I think Linode lets you upgrade droplets.

Avoid AWS. Using AWS for a hobby project is retarded. Its meant for enterprise.

Option B would be to use a RaspberryPi. Its extra work for less performance, but Pis are a lot of fun. Its like owning a toy that can run NextCloud.

If you're getting into self-hosting btw check out https://yunohost.org/ and https://landchad.net/

> The experience needs to be more like installing an app on a phone or a game on a console and with automated backups and easy restore. Self hosting will never come back if we are still expecting people to manage servers like it’s 1985.

It exists: https://yunohost.org/#/. Install the distro, and then it's all clickety-clicks for all your apps (which are softwares like nextcloud, cryptpad, bitwarden, bitter, etc..)

In my opinion as a non-tech person yunohost is far simpler and more flexible then other deployment options that I've seen (except for maybe paying somone or using shared hosting).

I use yunohost, it works very well.

For Docker, Tipi, CasaOS and YunoHost. There's also Umbrel if you are more interested in crypto apps.
