EGroupware 26 Collaboration Suite on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

EGroupware is a mature open source collaboration and groupware suite used by businesses, public sector bodies, schools and non profit organisations to run their shared calendars, contacts, projects and documents on infrastructure they control. It brings together a group calendar with resource booking and free or busy scheduling, shared and personal address books, InfoLog for tasks, notes and tickets, a versioned file manager, project manager, time sheet, wiki, bookmarks and news administration, all behind one sign in with fine grained per group access control.

Calendars and contacts synchronise to phones, tablets and desktop clients over CalDAV and CardDAV, so people keep using the clients they already have while the data stays on your server. The mail app is a client rather than a mail server: point it at an IMAP and SMTP service you already run, or leave it unconfigured and use the rest of the suite on its own. EGroupware can authenticate against its bundled database or against your existing LDAP or Active Directory.

It suits any organisation that wants the everyday collaboration tools of a hosted office suite without handing its calendars, contacts and documents to a third party, and without per seat licensing.

Common uses

• A private alternative to hosted office and groupware suites
