There's also onlyoffice [1] which recently got a little more traction due to its integrations for moodle, owncloud, nextcloud etc. I think all of their software is AGPL3 licensed last time I checked. Their suite somewhat targets selfhosted collaboration for the web browser.

Has anyone audited/read their code. I found it very suspicous that a company as small as them would be able to deliver software as complex as it was on the face of it. But when I last checked, I guess it hadn't been open sourced yet. Being Latvian, I am skeptical of other Latvians, but in this case, I'm skeptical of running potentialy Kremlin aligned source.

At least some version of it has been open source for years: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE

For what it's worth, their server can be hosted on Windows and Linux, so somebody could make a Dockerfile for it. But yeah, in any case I'd double check for any log4j like known vulnerabilities.

Latvian? I've always thought OnlyOffice is developed in Russia.

The headquarters are in Riga, but one would be forgiven to think it is an entirely Russian enterprise if one were to just look at their GitHub org.

The Latvian entity was wholly owned by the Russian developer until 2023.
