FOSS version of google docs to run on a home server?

JoelJ@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 132 points –

So I want to build a home server to use as a media server, and to back up my photos etc.

I am also currently doing an online course, and happen to spend some time at work as well as at home working on it. I don't like using Google where I can help it, but I find google docs really useful. So I'm wondering if there's an open source application that works essentially the same, but I could run off my own server? It would have to be web-based as I use Windows at work and can't install new programs :/

edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I've got quite a few leads to follow now, it should be fun!

for photos, I decided to buy a raspberry pi two years ago and to host photos and videos for my familly, using a free software with application on mobile phones (ios and android).
The compagny has a hosted offer, but i prefered to do in my own.
software is: https://piwigo.org/
and forum is there: https://piwigo.org/forum/
Enjoy
If question don't hesitate.

Thanks for the answer.

I’d really want to keep my pictures on my kDrive and just have some remote access to the pictures via whatever protocol.

Maybe what I need doesn’t exist and I’ll have to wait until kDrive gets its own photo management tool😇
