  • I typically have one DB service per app service (not just ler cluster, unless multiple services need the same db).

    Advantages:

    • Simple backup/data organization, each service is self-contained
    • True isolation: Unless you manually create DB accounts for each service, likely all your services have access to all data, and even with accounts there are data leaks and exploits

    Disadvantages:

    • You have more services running than strictly needed, but this is a minuscule impact on performance (the overhead of the DB service is typically not noticable)



  • Latvia is partly involved, yes, but it’s also part Russian and recently moved to Singapore. You may find the history section on Wikipedia interesting; it also lists the russian part-ownership as reason for many users leaving OnlyOffice (and I’ve seen quite a few posts on that at the time).

    As for the open-source part, I stand corrected, thank you

    From what I can tell, OnlyOffice has the best compatibility and the nicest UI (similar to MS office), same as with the regular applications. NextCloud Office is based on LibreOffice (officially Collabora, which is their name for the web product), so again same as the regular applications you’ll have some compatibility issues. That said, if you don’t need compatibility with existing documents or only documents made with LibreOffice, either is fine.

    One concern many have is that OnlyOffice is closed source (edit: my bad, it’s been open-source for a long time) and russian based (edit: partially russian, see Wikipedia), while LibreOffice is open source.
