Open Source alternative to Google Docs?

English Open Chat
#1

Hi guys,

I’m looking for an Open Source alternative to Google Docs. Reason I want it is because I want to host it on my computer. Google doesn’t allow you to do that.

Anyone know of any open source alternatives to Google Docs?

I would be grateful if there were any.

Also, just to let you know, me wanting an open source alternative doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with Google itself, just in case that comes up.

Thanks to anyone who responds!

what do you mean? do you want to run a web facing server that lets the
world (or some small fraction of it) in to interact with software
allowing them to initiate and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets,
presentations and whatever via their browser?

or, do you want to make your own documents, spreadsheets,
presentations and whatever directly on your machine, without going to
Google?

Hi Denver,

yes, I am.

My client ask for this type of solution…

What they want are

  • no more office suite
  • looking for diskless solution where all staff can do remotely via web especially office suite

Thanks mate.
