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.
How openEduSuite integrates AI services into a sovereign platform: Keycloak SSO for n8n, Dify and Open WebUI, an SSO bridge for n8n, the agentic AI spine, and operations experience.
How openEduSuite wires its services together: an SSO chain through a central identity broker, the reverse proxy as a fractal pattern, DNS-based service discovery instead of hard-coded IPs, GitOps as the single source of truth, and network policies as interface contracts.
We ran the EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework assessment against our own SCS-verified K3s cluster. Result: a 73.5% sovereignty score and SEAL-1, a high score capped by a weakest link we chose ourselves.
Interested in deploying openEduSuite at your university? We'd love to hear from you.
