There is a libreoffice docker image by linuxserver for self hosting/google docs replacement
Did they fix the page numbers not being properly right aligned in ToC?
Hey, all the bug fixes in the world is great, but honestly? Just give me a proper dark mode. That’s genuinely all I want at the moment. MS Office has had proper dark mode for years.
And yes I say proper dark mode because although it has dark mode it is absolute shit. The “paper” is still blazing white; meanwhile, in MS Office it is a pleasant grey so you can still differentiate it from the background while maintaining the dark mode as a dark mode.
Edit: Evidently, I was wrong. It does support it. Clearly I either was doing it wrong and/or was misunderstanding it. Sorry for the falsehood!
Huh?
Oh shit seriously. Clearly I either did it wrong or misunderstood. Whoops! Thanks for enlightening me!
EDIT: So, apparently it does have a proper dark mode that I didn’t know about. My apologies.
Oooof, we can only dream. That sunny white paper blinding you in the dark mode is a major turn off. I still use it, though. I appreciate the rest of the suit for sure.deleted by creator
Seeing so much misinformation upvoted on lemmy the last couple weeks. It’s a shame, there was a brief moment of time when I could trust comments here, but unfortunately that time passed by rather quickly.

Edit: Removed AMP link for the direct link as pointed out to me in a reply below.
Same link without AMP in case someone wants it: https://www.debugpoint.com/how-to-enable-dark-mode-libreoffice/
Basically, go into Application Colors in Settings and set the colour scheme there.
Thank you, didn’t realize I copied an AMP link.
I wouldn’t be so negative. The first thing I saw after reading the parent comment was a reply refuting it, with a screenshot of the dark mode. I think that’s pretty good

Yeah, but that was also me providing that screenshot… it originally had 20 upvotes and no downvotes and was the top comment by far. No one questioned it before I posted the screenshot and the comment you replied on. I don’t even use Libre Office but immediately thought, “that can not be correct,” then I installed it to take that screenshot, so I think I can be a little frustrated and annoyed over this kind of misinformation. Because if I had just taken that comment and all the upvotes as the truth, then I would be dissuaded to use it in the future, and that would be based on completely wrong information. And that’s bullshit.
Dark mode with a dark page has been suportes in LibreOffice since 7.4. I had to disable it because it made documents with tables and graphs look real weird (someone set the text to dark grey explicitly rather than using the built-in document styles). This version came out over a year ago.
This has some comparisons and calls out Microsoft for not enabling dark mode in Excel like LO did.
Clearly I misunderstood. Sorry!
Can you self host libreoffice for a google docs alternative?
Yes. Collabora is the maintainer for the online version (as well as the Android). Easiest way to host is via nextcloud.
please see this comment above
I have been looking into cryptpad, but I don’t know if it is really secure/private, but it appears to be a privacy-oriented, self-host able google doc alternative: https://cryptpad.org
No, Libre Office is offline only.
You need to look at something like Only Office, a free/open source web based office suite, which supports collaboration.

I stand corrected, there is a web-version of libre office, although they don’t support it directly, they do provide builds etc.

Yeah also the site doesn’t seem to bring up the the keyboard on mobile. Which kills this as am alternative to google services… For now
I see how to do it from the viewer, but not a great experience.
Is the one on nextcloud also onlyoffice?
On nextcloud out can run only office and collabora if I remember correctly
