Web-based document editing without Nextcloud? (lemmy.world)

I think I've hit a wall here. I set up both Collabara (CODE) and OnlyOffice (documentserver), and either I'm doing it wrong, or both require Nextcloud to provide the document editing UI. I really don't want to install Nextcloud. It feels like overkill.

Am I doing it wrong, or do both of those require Nextcloud.

    This looks like exactly what I want, plus extra security and privacy bits. I have no idea how it didn't show up in my other searches. I'm going to give this one a shot.

    That's basically OnlyOffice with file storage. I'm not sure how that trumps Nextcloud

    It was easy to set up, but there's some quality of life issues with actually using it. Bulk uploading existing documents seems to not be supported. Even uploading one by one is rough. I have to either upload as a 'file' then convert to a 'document' type. Or I have to create a new document, then import and update the file name.

    Still, it's the best option so far because the setup was so easy.

    I wanted this first, but I'm being extremely impatient. This project was shelved a couple years ago, and they only just unshelved it last month. I don't think they've released recently.

    I'll probably switch to this in a few months once they get that first release out.

    You could also use them with https://www.filestash.app/ for example, but you still need something to actually store the files.

    I've setup dufs to provide WebDAV file server, and then OpenOffice connected directly to it.

    How about ONLYOFFICE web-apps?

    I don't think they require Nextcloud. Consider LaSuite Docs too if you need something simpler
