Nextcloud
The better Microsoft 365 for private clouds.

Nextcloud is an open source, self-hosted content collaboration platform that combines file storage, video conferencing, groupware, online office, and AI assistant tools into a single unified hub. It is designed for organizations that want to keep full control of their data on their own servers without relying on third-party cloud providers. The platform scales from small personal deployments to enterprise installations serving tens of millions of users.
Nextcloud is deployed on the organization's own servers and provides a suite of integrated apps — Files, Talk, Groupware, Office, Assistant, and Flow — accessible via web, desktop, and mobile interfaces.
