The system requirements are quite high: https://docs.opendesk.eu/operations/requirements/ https://docs.opendesk.eu/operations/requirements/ Not going to be running this at home any time soon

Requirements intended for initial evaluation deployment (not production usage!): - 12 cores - 32 GB ram - Kubernetes cluster Finally a use cases for all those awesome overpowered homelabs I see on Reddit. For the rest of the world this seems excessive. Even for a small company these are pretty unreasonable requirements. I wonder what their design considerations were?

  Well that’s just the bare-minimum to run it. They said they were targeting like 150k users across the German government, so this is a lot closer to a Google Docs alternative than a home lab use case. It’s also BYO-database so there is certainly other requirements above and beyond just the stated above when you include running the database clusters.

    Sure and I see that they're fully owned by the German government but getting the entire German government to switch (lots of politics involved even if the product is developed by the government) is a lot harder than starting bottoms-up. Getting some departments/small companies to switch and growing organically from there seems like a better path towards success. I guess they could offer a hosted solution but that's usually a challenge to get approved in most government agencies (even if the contracting party is also sponsored by the government).

This is intended for sysadmins in enterprise environment... You can use other suites for home usage.

My paltry laptop meets these requirements, doesn't really seem that high.

  Why wouldn't I want to self-host my own Google/Microsoft alternative?
