Live demo
Try Sovereign Workspace in your browser.
Real Keycloak. Real Nextcloud. Real Collabora. Running on a server in Germany. One click and you're inside.
Opens in a new tab. You'll be assigned one of 10 shared demo accounts — the username and password appear right here below this button as soon as you click. Keep this tab open if you need to copy them.
What you should know before you click
- Shared accounts. The demo runs ten reusable users
named
demo01throughdemo10. Each password is the username with the suffixdemo— sodemo01logs in withdemo01demo. If two visitors land on the same account at the same time, one will be kicked into a read-only session. Pick a different number from the list below if that happens. - Files reset every six hours. Anything you upload, create, or delete is wiped on a regular cron. Don't store anything important.
- This is not production. The demo runs on a single modest VM. Performance is fine for one or two simultaneous visitors and noticeably slower with a crowd. The architecture you'd actually deploy is the same; only the box is smaller.
- Admin Console is hidden. The demo runs in
DEMO_HIDDEN_APPSmode — admin and developer tools are not visible. To see those, set up a self-hosted instance.
Manual login — pick any account
Want to come back to the same files and chat history later? Pick a specific account here, log in directly, and bookmark it. Just remember it's shared with everyone else who picked the same one.
The ?login_hint= URL parameter is the standard OIDC
way to pre-fill the username field on the Keycloak login form.
You only have to type the password (username + the suffix
demo — see the cards above). We never put
passwords in URLs, since URLs leak into browser history, proxy
logs, and screenshots.
What to try once you're in
- Open the Files app. Click the Nextcloud entry in the sidebar — your private (per-account) cloud drive appears without any "Connect Nextcloud" step. The same Keycloak token that signed you in is being passed through transparently.
- Create a document. Right-click in the Files app,
create a new
.odt. Double-click it. Collabora opens inside the workspace. Edit, save, close — it persists in Nextcloud. - Open the same doc in another tab. See real-time collaborative editing — cursors, presence, simultaneous edits.
- Try the launcher. Click the apps icon (bottom right of the dock). Notes, Text Editor, Music Player, Paint — fully usable system apps.
- Visit the App Store. Browse the curated catalog of self-hostable apps that integrate with the workspace. Nothing to install in the demo — just a preview of what you'd deploy.

The demo runs the same Docker Compose stack you'd deploy on your own server. Self-hosting takes about an afternoon.
