Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant Microsoft Office.

The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub.

While this is a good news, I think they should move from github, you know microslop copilot..

my advise: do not update immediately to a freshly released major version of Nextcloud. Just wait several point releases.

    That's fair, but even then it might break when I update it. I think rotating containers on which one I update is the way to go so I always have 1 running.

    I've never tried this technique but I'm curious to try it out.
