Educational Digital Infrastructure
Collaboration and Research Services for Higher Education
openEduSuite is an open-source digital workplace for higher education institutions: a complete, self-hostable suite of integrated services — from Collabora and CryptPad for documents, to Jitsi and BigBlueButton for teaching, to Ilias and JupyterHub for course operations. This site is its documentation and knowledge base.
The architecture section explains how the platform is designed and operated: identity and authentication, networking and traffic flow, storage, security, and capacity planning — written from real deployment experience, not marketing. The components section documents every integrated service: what it does, why it was chosen, and how it is configured.
Everything here is open source — source code on request — and openly documented. The blog tracks the project's progress — infrastructure decisions, compliance work such as BSI IT-Grundschutz, backups, and comparisons of deployment platforms (such as SCS versus Proxmox + K3s) and of peer suites (such as La Suite). If your institution is evaluating a sovereign alternative to proprietary cloud suites, start with the architecture overview.
EWOKS, the open-source scientific workflow framework developed at the ESRF, is now part of openEduSuite — with unified single sign-on and a portal entry.
Typst is now a first-class openEduSuite service: an upstream-tracked fork, a hardened HTTP render API, multi-arch container images, and dual-stack deployment.
World-Office rebuilds the office stack in Rust: a production document server, document, spreadsheet and slide editors — progress measured by conformance.
