Solved Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE)
-
Yes, after consideration, we might first go with a standalone approach as we don't want to pull in too much into the nextcloud package, which we then have to support forever. This would mean one has to install the collabora app on its own domain and put that domain into the nextcloud's plugin configuration dialog. That is also more aligned to how the nextcloud plugin works anyways. Still hoping to figure out how we can whitelist Cloudron domains at https://github.com/makayabou/install-nextcloud-collabora/blob/master/loolwsd.xml#L74 out of the box, to avoid further configuration burden.
I have collabora working now as a standalone app already, just needs final touch ups.
-
That's very nice to hear @nebulon! Is it also possible to use one Collabora installation with multiple Nextcloud installations?
-
We have released an initial package for CODE in the store, which works together with the NextCloud plugin (as the WOPI host)
It has to be installed as a separate app, to avoid the risk of pulling too much into the NextCloud app itself.
I tried to make it rather self-describing how it is to be used and added a small UI to configure it. Maybe it can support other apps besides NextCloud in the future. Also unfortunately I was not able to make it work with multiple NextCloud instances, if someone has successfully done that, please let me know.Any feedback welcome.
-
Thanks for the update and the good work. Unfortunately I'm still getting "Unauthorized WOPI host. Please try again later and report to your administrator if the issue persists."
I've installed the CODE app, added the nc domain in the gui and activated the collabora app and added the CODE url in there. Am I missing something?
edit: Log says "Aug 05 15:41:31 wsd-00016-00042 2018-08-05 15:41:31.511409 [ websrv_poll ] WRN WOPI host did not pass optional access_token_ttl| wsd/FileServer.cpp:608"

One thing I could think of is, that in the nextcloud app, you have to use https://code.domain.com and as it currently stands inside the code ui you have to remove the https:// part. Is that causing your issue? I should improve that regardless though.
-
Ah right, that did the trick! So to recap:
Enter the Nextcloud url without https:// in the Cloudron Collabora app. After that I tested both, CODE url with and without https:// in NC, there it doesn't seem to matter, so there's that
Cheers!

@necrevistonnezr you need to click on the office app, login with your cloudron credentials and add the nextcloud url in there (without https://)
-
@nebulon I just tried adding several domains to collabora and it seems to be working. You just need to seperate them with a pipe, like
nc1.domain1.com|nc2.domain2.com
can you confirm that? -
@msbt ah that could very well be true, the input field actually allows a regexp. I will see if I can make that input a bit more user friendly and maybe pre-setup the value with *.domain.com for the Cloudron, as that might be the most common use-case.

Thanks! I had missed that step indeed. Works now.
-
I pushed a new version which gives more details on the domain setup. It also mentions how to use it for more than one domain.
-
This is like Christmas for me, guys. Thank you!! Works perfectly for me so far. Full implementation in less than 5 minutes. By far the easiest way to setup Collabora, anywhere.
-
Thank you so much. This is amazing!
-
It's really amazing ! Thank you guy's !
-
If you now add Fulltext Search (https://forum.cloudron.io/post/1596), Cloudron's Nextcloud package would be unparalleled, I think....
-
@nebulon I have suggestions for improvements, where is the best place to write those?
-
if its about the Cloudron app package itself, then probably at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/collabora-app/issues

https://www.collaboraoffice.com/press-releases/collabora-online-4-0/
I don't know if this is relevant but it seems there's a new version of CODE out - although I couldn't find a specific announcement. The cloudron app states that CODE is at version 6.0....
Collabora Online 4.0 released
February 14, 2019

Press Releases
Collabora Productivity, the driving force behind bringing LibreOffice to the cloud, is excited to announce a new, major release of our enterprise product Collabora Online 4.0. This release includes a fresh look, mobile improvements, improved interoperability, new dialogs and functionality as well as a raft of bug fixes and polish.
At the same time as our release we are updating the Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE) for home users, and to make it easy for everyone to try this out and get involved with integrating it into their systems. For more information please visit CODE’s page. -
The version mismatch is related to the different versions upstream. Collabora uses collaboraoffice package version 6.0 , while their meta package (which also includes the document management loolwsd) is version 4. The app package version should reflect the version of the meta package, in this case 3.4.0
We will update the Cloudron package soonish from version 3 to 4
-
@nebulon It will be great to try out v4 because they added support for mobile document editing in the latest Nextcloud app (using Collabora v4 and Nextcloud 15).

@nebulon It will be great to try out v4 because they added support for mobile document editing in the latest Nextcloud app (using Collabora v4 and Nextcloud 15).
This is not working for me in the iOS Nextcloud app, even with the updated Collabora v4 and Nextcloud 15. When I tap a document, I get a "502 bad gateway" error and / or just a blank screen.
-
Well that's not encouraging. I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot that one. I had just seen these announcements over the last few months:
https://nextcloud.com/blog/collabora-online-developer-edition-4.0-is-here-edit-documents-on-mobile-and-more/ (article is 2 months old now and the regular release of 4.0 looks to have been released last week)
Nextcloud's app supposedly already has support for it.
-
@necrevistonnezr I'm getting a blank screen in the iOS app, too. But now even the web version on desktop is failing to load. Latest updates on Nextcloud/Collabora/Cloudron and I have the Collabora app using a wildcard for my domain, and the Nextcloud Collabora app is configured and updated. Not sure what is going on, it has worked in the past.
-
@FTLAUDMAN Can't confirm that, Collabora works fine in the web interface but still not on mobile. Have you updated to the latest Collobora app (v. 3.2.2) in the nextcloud admin interface?
-
@necrevistonnezr Thanks for the tip. I updated to 3.2.3 (previously was at 3.2.1) and now the web interface is working in Firefox. (Not working in Safari, for some reason.) Still no luck with the iOS app, though.
-
an update was pushed yesterday that states
[1.4.0]
- Support Mobile Editing
Unfortunately, even after restarting cloudron and the nextcloud apps on iOS, mobile editing does not work.
When I tap on a editable document, nothing happens and the iOS App crashes (blank screen). The same happens when I try to create a new document. There isn't even an entry in the Collabora or Nextcloud logs...
-
just tested the android version, works fine with docx and xlsx (.doc it tries to open with the internal viewer)
-
@necrevistonnezr This is exactly my experience (except I didn't check the log).
-
Is it possible to have both Collabora and ONLYOFFICE connected to NextCloud, or should I disable ONLYOFFICE before playing with Collabora?
Also, any views here on which works best on mobile? Thanks!
-
@jdaviescoates Yes. It is possible to connect both simultaneously. The usability in that case is not intuitive. But hey: you can
Pronouns: he/him | Primary language: German
-
@luckow thanks, I may still have a play around with Collabora (like that odf native), but having read around a bit more it seems Collabora does everything on the server which makes collaborative editing slow and cumbersome, so probably just going to stick with ONLYOFFICE
-
Collabora on Cloudron seems quite out of date. It is current at version 4.0-2 on Cloudron whereas there is version 4.2 of CODE is available. Is there any plans to push an update?
Even if 4.2 might be seem as too recent, it would be quite good to at least have 4.0.9 as quite a lot of bugs have been fixed.
-
The app now got updated to 4.2
-
Thanks for this, HUGE performance boost!
-
Hello,
Collabora CODE has received a few updates (now at 4.2.0-5) since last updated on Cloudron (4.2.0). Might be worth pushing an update as there are a few quite annoying bugs which have been addressed. As always, thanks!
-
I've pushed the 4.2.1 update for CODE now
-
@nebulon Amazing, thanks!
-
Hello,
There have been a couple of recent bugfix updates on Collabora which might be worth pushing on Cloudron. CODE now at 4.2.2-2.
Many thanks
-
Thanks for the reminder, I've published the updated package now.
-
@nebulon Hello, heads up that 4.2.3 out
Sorry posting here as there isn't a package update thread for this yet. -
Thanks for the heads up, I've pushed the new version now.
-
@nebulon Hello, just to let you know, there is a new version of collabora out. They have released 6.4 around a week ago (they have also changed version numbering, 6.4 is directly following 4.2).
-
The package has been updated now.
