Collabora via Nextcloud app or Cloudron app?

[ntnsndr]

I'm curious about others' experiences: Do you use Collabora via Nextcloud's internal app, or via an external Cloudron app?

I have been using the former, and it works at first, but after some usage it starts getting this error:

Document loading failed

Failed to load Nextcloud Office - please try again later

Is there a reason we should be using the external Cloudron app?

I like the idea of keeping Nextcloud and Collabora in one place through the Nextcloud app, but if there's a good reason to do so, I could go back to using Collabora in the Cloudron app.

I don't use either, I use an external OnlyOffice Cloudron app.

But I'm pretty sure using the Cloudron app is the better option / more powerful option. The built-in CODE app fine for light personal use, but it’s known to be limited and can get unstable after a while (hence the “Document loading failed” error). Running Collabora as a separate Cloudron app is generally more reliable – it has its own resources, updates, and logs, so it scales better for multi-user or regular collaborative editing. If you do more than occasional edits, switching to the external app is the recommended approach.

Okay, thanks! Just switched to the Cloudron app, and it is working nicely so far.
