Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Digislides hard to install?

Digislides offers Docker deployment for simplified setup—just pull the image and run. Traditional setups need a LAMP/LEMP stack, but documentation guides you through both options; basic server knowledge helps but isn’t mandatory for Docker users.

? Is it a good alternative to Google Slides?

Yes, if you prioritize data privacy. Digislides matches core features (slide editing, media support) but keeps data on your server instead of Google’s cloud. Collaborative features are available but not as real-time as Google Slides.

? Is it completely free?

Digislides is 100% open-source and free—no hidden fees, premium tiers, or subscription costs. You can use, modify, and self-host it without any charges.
