Collabora and Miscellaneous Stuff

From Eliter Awesomeness · Jan 26, 2019

Hello,
 I wanted to know if you guys are willing to help me out with a couple of Linux server things, since I know you guys mostly talk about Linux desktops.
 I've been wanting to move my stuff to my own private cloud, *eventually* ditching Google (for the most part). So I want to get into Nextcloud and Collabora Online. Now, I have seen here and there that there is a way to nicely integrate between the two, I've just never touched Collabora before. I want to try out their CODE (basically the free stuff, they give you an annoying warning if it detects you using their software for commercial use. I bet there is a fully legal fork out there (it is open source) that takes the warning out, leaving the rest of the features).
 However, I know nothing about Docker, and tried out their tutorial for installing it from the package manager (APT), it didn't magically give me a web interface, so I may have to do more digging around than I was hoping to get it to work.

 The other thing is that I have a few servers running on my Digital Ocean account, and it's gotten out of control, so I need to organize it, and cut down the cost. I was hoping that maybe you guys could help me out with organizing my Apache websites, since it's a mess, and I have it dispersed across multiple servers, which costs money. Do you guys do server stuff, or is it only desktop/laptop stuff?

Thanks,
Eli D.

Not sure about the other folks but I just learned how to spell server two days ago.  Seriously, the group has generally not did much work with servers in our three year existence.  We have tried to concentrate on merely converting new members and solving member's problems and concerns.  There may be someone who in knowledgeable with servers but I am not aware of it.

Is it possible to encourage members or people to become members to be interested in server? Maybe we could provide training for how to use Ubuntu command line? It would be a marketable skill people could walk away with and possibly get places outside of hobby desktop stuff for personal use.
