Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Tine 2.0 hard to install?

Tine 2.0 can be installed via Docker (simpler for most users) or a traditional LAMP stack. Docker images reduce setup complexity, but manual installation requires configuring web servers, databases, and PHP extensions—some technical knowledge is helpful for non-Docker setups.

? Is it a good alternative to Microsoft 365?

Yes, for teams prioritizing data control and self-hosting. It offers core groupware features (email, calendar, tasks) but lacks advanced SaaS features like real-time co-editing or extensive third-party app integrations found in Microsoft 365.

? Is it completely free?

Yes, Tine 2.0 is open-source under the AGPLv3 license—free to use, modify, and self-host without subscription fees. Commercial support is available but optional.
