Nice. Where is the source, on github (I didn't see it but I only skimmed)? Federated? Self-hostable?

[–] whatsgoingdom@rollenspiel.forum 33 points 7 months ago (1 children)

From briefly looking over the toot, I think the German version is called openDesk (bad choice as there seems to be some interior design software with the same name) there is a community version you can self host in a docker container. They apparently also have distro packages for Debian and Ubuntu but they seem to have stopped development on those.

Here's a link: https://opendesk.eu/en/

openDesk is a complete suite of open source software. I guess Docs could at some point become a part of it. But it‘s not the same thing.

Self-hostable, but it seems like an absolute behemoth of an application if their "non-production-use-only" docker-compose file is to be believed, and I couldn't find any production-ready deployment instructions on a quick skim. No obvious signs of federation and I didn't see anything on their roadmap, not sure it would make a lot of sense for this though.

Deployment instructions start with the prerequisite that you have a full kubernetes cluster with ingress laying around, so… yeah. It looks like it'll be on the heavy side.

Self-hostable, needs Minio (or any S3 compatible system).
