hello every one.
i have questions about libreoffice online.
how does it work?
does it need separate version of libreoffice to download rather than
normal version?
or does it some changes in settings to work?
i opened the given link, but i could not understand whats it, because
of the sanctions against iran unfortunately.
i realy wish to know about it and also is it possible to use it in
previous versions of libreoffice or it works only in 5.3?
i tried this link, but without any success.
https://hub.docker.com/r/libreoffice/online
also i realy love the previous ui version of libreoffice website.
it was previously more accessible and more simple to use.
i appreciate your help, pray for you and request divine mercy and
blessings for you.

​I'm not sure about the rest of your post (restrictions etc.) but that link
is about the docker image directly. Docker is a tool made to deploy apps in
a specific ways. It might be possible to use LibreOffice online in other
ways, but there's no obvious ways to do it without docker.

You can (hopefully) find more info about using LibreOffice Online​ at
https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/ . For starters, know that it's
completely separate from a regular LibreOffice installation. Work on
CODE/LibreOffice Online started a while ago, but it's probably not
useful/very useable with previous versions. And it also depends on some
other components to actually manage user files, but that's covered on the
link I gave you.

Hi :slight_smile:
There is always Google Docs. Very limited functionality but it means you
don't have to install it on your machine = just use it in your
web-browser. Personally i prefer to have something that is installed on my
machine so that i can work off-line.

I think you can login and use them even if you don't have a Gmail account
but they just want to know what your email address is so that you can login
to your own documents. If they ask you to give them a password then i
think you make up a new one instead of giving them the one you use to get
into your emails.

We don't have much control over how the official LibreOffice website
appears. There is a separate mailing list for that, something like;
websites@global.libreoffice.org

I'm not sure about restrictions as each place seems to do restrictions
differently from each other.

Hi :slight_smile:
Errr, ok so now i've read the release-notice from Italo.

I think the on-line version of LibreOffice needs to be on a "private
Cloud". I think that would need to be installed on a machine at your place
or rent some space on a server. If it's for a company or a fair sized
group of people then it might make some sense but for an individual or just
a few people then it's probably better to just install the normal
LibreOffice on each machine.

Yes, that is an option. I have a lady in my apartment building that sends me emails to help he deal with her Google Docs she is creating. She prefers dealing with Google Docs over anything other method for creating/editing documents or shared editing of documents.

Of course, I hope to look into the LO online options after a few months after the roll-out.

I will be happy when both the online and Android options are out and working well. Hopefully the Android creations/editing option would be available by the end of the year. That will have a limited or full package in all major market platforms, - except Apple's phone/tablet iOS - it will be a great day for our local marketing activities. Most people I know do not have Apple's tablet[s] for personal or business activities. So, it will great to say to my contacts, here is one solution for all your platforms.

Hi :slight_smile:
Don't worry about trying to use the on-line version. I think most of us
appreciate that having something installed on your own machine is often
better. many of us will probably never use the online version so it's not
something you have to learn.

Sorry i have not answered other emails. I have a lot of off-line work to
do and rarely get time to read my emails. You seem to be doing a great job
which i'm sure is appreciated.

Good luck and many regards from
Tom :slight_smile:
