Web-based document editing without Nextcloud? (lemmy.world)

I think I've hit a wall here. I set up both Collabara (CODE) and OnlyOffice (documentserver), and either I'm doing it wrong, or both require Nextcloud to provide the document editing UI. I really don't want to install Nextcloud. It feels like overkill.

Am I doing it wrong, or do both of those require Nextcloud.

It was easy to set up, but there's some quality of life issues with actually using it. Bulk uploading existing documents seems to not be supported. Even uploading one by one is rough. I have to either upload as a 'file' then convert to a 'document' type. Or I have to create a new document, then import and update the file name.

Still, it's the best option so far because the setup was so easy.
