This is only a part of france's "LaSuite" (very original name guys), that seemingly will replace every equivalent american service.
https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/
They generally work pretty well (demo on the site) and are a mix of homegrown solutions and rebrands of existing projects like matrix. All of them are open source.
And all their videos are on Peertube!
!lasuite@tube.numerique.gouv.fr
Unfortunately source code is still hosted on GitHub...
Sadly they don't allow anyone to follow their instance, so finding their videos and interacting isn't possible. But at least it's a step.
You can follow from PieFed 🙂
They should have called it "du coup" for that authentic frenchness.
I'd also accept Honhon
And the apps have docker for easy setup! I was expecting something very convoluted and not suitable for tinkerers. What's good/bad is that the the apps seem to be deployed independently. Would love to have single user for everything. Need to read a bit further to see how it's done
To have a single user with multiple services you usually use a separate oauth provider, in the french government's case that's France connect but authelia is a good self-hosted option.
It's possible these ones have a built-in system for this though, I haven't checked.
I might not have explained well. Not only a single user, but a connected one. If I'm in the chat app and want to share a file, to show automatically my cloud drive, to jump from text chat to video call video call or to have a notification on the chat app when an invite with a video call is received.
As much as I hate MS, almost everything I do with teams and outlook alone.
tbh I really don't know for this solution, but you might like nextcloud, it's exactly what you're looking for, each part of the site is connected in that way.
Thanks, I used to have it. It died on me multiple times in the past (I'm sure I'm ultimately at fault) so I'm a bit wary.
For lasuite I'm thinking about it's long term staying power in France institutions and adaption by other agencies/companies.
There will be a big pushback by users, so the smoother the better
Yeah nextcloud is a bit of a beast to manage alone. Tell you what, I'll try selfhosting LaSuite sometime and I'll tell you if it has it or not.
I guess they're all cloud tools? Or is there something I can install in my laptop?
They're all cloud tools, but if you have a spare computer and some knowledge you can host it yourself.
Yes and yes but no interest in self hosting
