Onlyoffice with mobile editors enabled again (github.com)

OnlyOffice is sadly a bit open-core with some features in the source code deliberatly disabled / restricted for non-customers.

This Dockerscript claims to reenable the mobile editors and also removes the artificial limit of 20 concurrent users.

What's the reasoning to use it over LibreOffice though? I've used LibreOffice for years now with no issue.

Collabora built Libreoffice Online (C++) to have the software processing happen on the server side. OnlyOffice (HTML5) is built to have the processing on the client side in the browser. From a user perspective I don't think it matters, but I believe most hosting/solution providers looking to offer a whitelabel office suite opt for OnlyOffice because it requires less server resources, as document processing is happening at the edge (the users computer, not the server.) I'm oversimplifying here but that's the high level afaik.
