I may be in the minority but i think OnlyOffice [0][1] has a better offering than LibreOffice. Desktop apps, Web app (self hosted) and open source. [0] www.onlyoffice.com [1] https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/

  I just started using LibreOffice again, but def will check this out. I would love to self host my own office suite.

Libre office is great. They need to undo their change to copy pasting in Calc however: half the time it produces some weird floating cell now instead and is a confusing nuisance. It’s still a great suite of software that I use constantly

As a friendly reminder, they publish torrents for their downloads, which I would imagine could save them a lot of bandwidth costs on release day: Linux: https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7.0.0/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz.torrent https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7... Mac: https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7.0.0/mac/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.0.0_MacOS_x86-64.dmg.torrent https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7... Windows: https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7.0.0/win/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.0.0_Win_x64.msi.torrent https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7...

  Do they offer an RSS feed of new releases? I personally would set it on my torrent server to automatically download and seed new releases automatically.

    It doesn't appear so :-(

      Here's a repo I made with RSS links to the LibreOffice torrents: https://github.com/alexyorke/oss_rss/tree/master/libreoffice https://github.com/alexyorke/oss_rss/tree/master/libreoffice I'm looking into ways to automate updating this feed, stay tuned. If you have more suggestions let me know and I can add another feed.

        Now that GitHub has a CI system, you can create a scheduled workflow to run once a week or something, and if you can package the feed discovery logic in a docker container, then you can run it in their CI pipeline and push the changes back to the repo If you haven't already considered it, you can also likely push those files to a branch named gh-pages and GH will cheerfully serve them on https://alexyorke.github.io/oss_rss/libreoffice/all_torrent_links.rss https://alexyorke.github.io/oss_rss/libreoffice/all_torrent_... (although unlikely with the correct mime type :-( )
