So I want to build a home server to use as a media server, and to back up my photos etc.

I am also currently doing an online course, and happen to spend some time at work as well as at home working on it. I don’t like using Google where I can help it, but I find google docs really useful. So I’m wondering if there’s an open source application that works essentially the same, but I could run off my own server? It would have to be web-based as I use Windows at work and can’t install new programs :/

edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I’ve got quite a few leads to follow now, it should be fun!

    Those specs seem likely to be extrapolated from the resource usage of their SaaS solution 😳

    Wouldn’t be surprised if it actually ended up needing that though, some game servers for example will happily chomp down 10GB+ of RAM with just two people online doing nothing

      Or rather they want to discourage self-hosting in favour of their SaaS.

      But the OO Document server will happily run with about 1gb RAM and small CPU use.

      edit: ah this is about the full OO suite. Well most of that is written in bloated asp.net so no wonder.
