Nextcloud is a great platform for managing a personal or enterprise files. It is Open Source. If you want a similar solution as Google Docs but on your own infrastructure, you can use the Collabora Office Suite.
Install Collabora Development Edition on Debian Stretch
To deploy Collabora, I recommend using the following ansible playbook:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 |
#!/usr/bin/env ansible-playbook --- - name: collabora hosts: collabora become: yes pre_tasks: - name: Install python for Ansible raw: test -e /usr/bin/python || (apt -y update && apt install -y python-minimal) changed_when: False - name: Install apt-transport-https apt: name: apt-transport-https tasks: - name: add collabora apt-key apt_key: keyserver: keyserver.ubuntu.com id: 0C54D189F4BA284D - name: add collabora debian apt repository apt_repository: repo: 'deb https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-debian9 ./' state: present filename: collabora update_cache: yes - name: install collabora apt: name: "{{ item }}" update_cache: yes loop: - loolwsd - code-brand |
Here is the inventory file sample:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
--- [collabora] <CHANGE_server_ip> [collabora:vars] ansible_ssh_user=<CHANGE_ssh_user> ansible_ssh_private_key_file=<CHANGE_ssh_key_full_path> |
Do not forget to put adapt to your server’s settings.
