Hi all,

What fast but functional document editor do you recommend? I would like to add custom fonts and do some page layout work, but otherwise nothing too fancy.

Suggestions?

      Unfortunately I am not a fan of NextCloud, it’s just too slowwwwww :(

        you can set up collabora without nextcloud, as well

          Do you have any guidance on that? I haven’t been able to find anything.

            I was talking about this docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/collabora/code/

            correction from my side: it is the development edition, which means rolling release and possibly less stability, but it is worth a try imho (but i do not use it personally)

        I had the same experience, tried other stuff and eventually came back. Maybe I didn’t have redis and Maria setup right before but it’s much better for me this time around.

        Totally not saying that’s what was up for you though, it’s not for everyone.

          A few releases ago they made massive improvements in Speed. I use NC since the Split from OwnCloud and that performance Upgrade recently was truly impressive.

          Mine is okay, but maybe I just have high standards. I’m using redis and postgresql, so I’m probably about as optimized as I can be. Page loads in like 2-3s, but I wish it was faster.

          If there was an alternative to Nextcloud that could replace Google Docs and wasn’t written in PHP, I’d switch. I don’t need much, I just want to access documents and spreadsheets in the browser.

          But Nextcloud is good enough.

        it’s definitively fast on my installation. Might I suggest looking at the log level and making sure it’s not set to INFO or DEBUG? That’s what was holding my instance back.
