From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while, with Windows as the fall-back option in case I wanted to use Office for something. Now that they tried to trick me into paying a subscription for their AI slop machine, I'm finally, fully out. It was a pain to actually track down and back-up the stuff that was held for ransom in OneDrive, but now it is done.

Update in my previous message: so now I'm trying to install onlyoffice in a docker container on a server and I can't even get http to work, less even https. A simple connect to port 80 just gives me connection refused, even though netstat shows docker proxy listening there, port 443 gives me connection opened that right away closes, doing nothing. Logs show nothing

This is the sort of WTF that I really don't understand. Onlyoffice is really nice, why is the installation such a headache and fight after fight?

I've installed countless different services and programs in a myriad of different ways, and 99% of the time it's a few commands and done. 0.9% of the time I have tondo some significant extra work to get it completely done (nextcloud is here, not that it's hard but there are so many built in functionalities that you need to perform a number of extra steps) and then there is the 0.1% which is just a right nightmare for no good reason.

I have setup various dockers with little issue, onlyoffice just never works. WHY?

I would go for collabora if it wasn't s shitshow itself when used in an office setting with dozens of users. Colabora is nice for a single user system, that's it. I need perfect multi user document editing and onlyoffice offers this.

How do I set this crap up?

I used OnlyOffice via native .deb package. And yes it broke my apt every time and on every update. I managed by manually editing install scripts to make it work. I never used docker before but want give it a try (maybe podman instead). You can also write your problem and questions to !selfhosted@lemmy.world community, maybe they can help you
