What is the "self-hosted" version of OnlyOffice?

“Download the self-hosted version of ONLYOFFICE Docs 8.2:”

I’m not sure what “self-hosted” means.

Does it just refer to the non-cloud version of OnlyOffice – the one where documents, etc. only get saved to local storage?

Thanks.

I believe this is just a description based on the fact, that ONLYOFFICE Docs is a web-based application. Therefore it has to be “hosted” on a machine (PC) and can then also be accessed and used from other PCs via web-browser, either from outside and/or inside a network-environment, depending on the configuration of the host/network … As in comparison to ONLYOFFICE Destktop installations.

Hello @mk7z

Firstly, Desktop Editors and Docs are different products even though both provide possibility to edit and view documents.
Generally, @bermuda is correct - Docs, a.k.a. Document Server, can be installed on your dedicated server for integration with your web-storage application to enhance it with capabilities that Docs provides. Basically, Desktop Editors allow you to edit files locally on your PC, whereas Docs provide possibility to edit documents online from the internet application via browser.
