Why Nextcloud Beats LibreOffice as the Ultimate Microsoft Office Replacement
Nextcloud is an all-in-one Microsoft Office alternative that offers more than just a pile of disconnected free tools. It replaces services and apps like file storage, document editing, video calls, shared calendars, project boards, and many others under one control.
The software gives users complete control over their workspace, allowing them to tailor it according to their needs. However, setting up Nextcloud requires some effort and understanding of how it works.
One way to simplify the setup process is by using the All-in-One (AIO) setup on Docker. This container oversees everything else, including file storage, database, caching, backups, and more. It handles updates automatically and has solid backup support built in.
Once AIO is running, users can log into the admin panel and install optional containers like ONLYOFFICE or Collabora Online for document editing. They can also add Nextcloud Groupware for calendar, contacts, and email management, as well as Nextcloud Deck for project tracking.
