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!

      Your comment made me check that, and yeah, those requirements can be extreme for someone like me who look to use it for two pcs and a phone on a 6th gen intel nuc

      Those specs seem likely to be extrapolated from the resource usage of their SaaS solution 😳

      Wouldn’t be surprised if it actually ended up needing that though, some game servers for example will happily chomp down 10GB+ of RAM with just two people online doing nothing

        Or rather they want to discourage self-hosting in favour of their SaaS.

        But the OO Document server will happily run with about 1gb RAM and small CPU use.

        edit: ah this is about the full OO suite. Well most of that is written in bloated asp.net so no wonder.
