A friend and I have a long running Pathfinder homebrew that we have collaborated on for nearly a decade in Google Docs. It is 168 pages long and represents a body of work that we are both incredibly proud of. With Google’s recent activities banning people from their own private documents, I no longer trust them with the document. I would love of LibreOffice supported local cloud hosting, but they do not. I could install Dropbox API on my Raspberries Pi and just set up my own cloud server, but I really don’t want to be responsible for the maintenance.

Any FOSS software out there make it easy to do the whole private cloud with collaboration tools in word procrssing?

    I am loving the look of cryptpad, but for some reason when I open the .odt file I exported from docs it does not actually bring in any of the info. LibreOffice opens it perfectly and shows the comments and suggestions and everything, so I am not sure what to do to get it working.

      Export it from LibreOffice in to a more digestible format? Not sure what problems you’re hitting or features you need, just pointing out that a two+ step solution might be more apt.
