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!

    I ran it on a Dell EMC server blade and it was still awful. I couldn’t help but think I was doing something wrong, because its performance was shockingly bad. I also couldn’t get any of the office stuff to work acceptably, so I’ve given up on it for the time being.
