Install and setup instructions for Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE) and using it with NextCloud

Introduction

Collabora Online is a powerful online office suite which you can integrate into your own infrastructure, it will allow you to open and edit documents from within your NextCloud environment. You should point a domain to your CODE instance.

Installation

From the Docker template you will need to fill in:

• server_name with the domain of your CODE instance, for example collabora.mydomain.com
• domain with the domain of your NextCloud instance, for example nextcloud\.mydomain\.com|test\.mydomain\.com|nc\.mydomain\.com
• DONT_GEN_SSL_CERT should have something in such as true or 1
• extra_params should be set as --o:ssl.enable=false --o:ssl.termination=true

Additionally you can set:

• admin as the administrator name you wish to use for the admin console, this is not something we will expose or you will need to access.
• password as the administrator password you wish to use for the admin console, this is not something we will expose or you will need to access.
• dictionaries by default only limited set of spelling dictionaries and thesauri are configured for CODE, mainly for performance reasons. The default set of languages is the following: de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru. With the dictionaries environment variable you can change this list. The dictionaries environment variable should contain the space separated list of language codes (optionally followed by country code). In order to save resources, it makes sense to load only those dictionaries that are actually needed.
• cert_domain is unnecessary, when this environment variable is set (is not “”), then startup script will generate a new SSL certificate signed by a dummy CA for this domain, not for localhost

Setting up NextCloud

You will need to install the app Nextcloud Office, then navigate to Office from within the Administration settings.

Click Use your own server and enter the domain of your CODE instance in the URL field and click Save

If NextCloud states Collabora Online server is reachable then you are all set.
