Makes the difference between the Euro-Office community builds and Nextcloud Office clear, and points users to Nextcloud Office downloads.

Changes

  • New Choose a build page under Installation comparing Nextcloud Office and Euro-Office, recommending Nextcloud Office for production
  • Installation index:
    • Short explanation of Nextcloud Office vs Euro-Office
    • Download tables per OS for desktop apps and Document Server, in linked Nextcloud Office / Euro-Office tabs, with download, repository and documentation buttons
    • Note that the Document Server is not standalone and needs a platform such as Nextcloud
    • Nextcloud Office APT/DNF repository setup (download.nextcloud.com/office/repo)
    • Dropped "recommended for production" claims for the community builds
  • Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora guides: Nextcloud Office repository tabs for adding the source, installing and updating
  • Home page and overview link to the new page
  • Styling: wider content area, full-width download tables, aligned table buttons

Repository setup tested on Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12 and Fedora 44 containers (key import, metadata and package signatures).

Thanks for the clarification, is Nextcloud going to charge for access to the Nextcloud deb/rpm repos and / or is a commercial support contract going to be needed to use the Nextcloud rather than the Euro-Office versions? What is the catch?

No, we do not have any difference planned there. Signed builds and repositories are freely available for the community.
