I have attempted to configure/self host #NextCloud with an office suite on and off for well over 5 years. It never quite works. I have tried multiple approaches with and without docker and possibly some other variations.

The terminology is contradictory and confusing (Document Server/Collabora…). I have been online since before the web was invented (Fidonet), I registered my first domain in 1999, I do web apps for a living. Is it me or is NextCloud with an office suite hard to set up?

@marcusgreen some people recommend the snap of next cloud but some people don’t like snaps.

@tallthom

I had a play with the snap and I have no inherent objection. But your comment makes me think I should have another try.

@marcusgreen the guys in #linuxmatters talked about using the snap with some good results. I tried it a while back and was also successful.

@tallthom

#linuxmatters people are excellent
