I think it depends on the feature set you're looking for. My nextcloud instance is basically online OpenOffice apparently. It doesn't match Google Docs in speed, responsiveness, UI or UX, and it costs me like $18/month to run, but it seems relatively light-weight. There's no idiotic gemini crap or a pop-up begging me to try it though, and all my data is my own. I'm not the Austrian government but that's the feature set I was looking for.

Hetzner offer managed next cloud for 5 euro with 1tb storage. 13 euro for 5tb.

I started using this and overall quite good but with very minor caveats...

* My part of the world is not adjacent to Germany (where this paid offering is hosted)...so there is a little latency. But not nearly as bad as I expected.

* While file sharing and syncing and other basic stuff is included, the equivalent of online collabora (or whatever the online office suite is called) is not included and you would have to self host it...but hetzner state this in their relevant knowledge base webpages.

The current Google workspace service is about $7 a month. I'd pay more to be rid of AI, it's a near-constant nuisance, and major privacy concern. But $18 seems steep to also be missing core features.

$7 per user. So if you have three people using the server, it becomes cheaper.
