There use to schemes to provide flexible locking to allow multiple people to edit documents located on the same local network. Never liked it nuch but others did.

Build a Wireguard VPN inside the programs for making it just as easy for the masses to use them.
I dont want the “cloud”. I just want the same productivity.
