We had an expert author (Thanks Martin Loschwitz!) download the source from #opencode and install the sovereign desktop for public administration that includes #opensource software from #univention, #nextcloud, #openproject, #openXchange, #xwiki, #matrix, #jitsi, #collabora. All you need is a #kubernetes cluster and knowledge about #helmcharts, but who does not have that at home? :-) 2/

His "Having tested it myself, I can guarantee that apart from the usual Kubernetes crumbs the stuff essentially works as documented." does not sound like the standard arguments about open source (fiddling, nerdy, hard to set up, etc.). We'll be working on the text and will keep you updated! It works, and #opensource works, especially in your data center, under your control.
Here's an older (German) article on opendesk until then:
