Connecting Cloudron Nextcloud to Cloudr Collabora

[rstockm]

I want to switch from OpenOffice to Collabora [1] but I have some trouble connecting it to Nextcloud. For performance reasons I would love to use the dedicated Collabora Cloudron App.
So I updated both to the newest version, set the correct URLs but keep getting this error:

If I leave the WOPI host blanc in the Nextcloud Office Settings dialog it makes no difference. As of now I use this IP, following the instructions in another thread:

So what do I miss?

Hello @rstockm
It seems you did not follow the documentation: https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/collabora/
Can you please double-check and report back?

So to be honest not fully sure what that external apps allow list is, but the collabora app itself will restrict based on the virtual host accessing documents (see our docs there). Just tried this and that works as expected.

I followed these exact instructions, step by step.

the connection itself seems ok...

Hello @rstockm
What are the settings of the collabora app?
I can see this screenshot is from Nextcloud.

Hello @rstockm
Since you censored your domain in the screenshots before, I took the liberty to re-consor you last screenshot, since you forgot to censor the domain name in the text above the input field.

I'm having similar problems since the upgrade to Nextcloud 32.
And strangely, my settings for Nextcloud office are now greyed out, event though they retain the previoulsy functionning values.

Hello @Camille
I also noticed this, and it seems many apps are currently somewhat bricked by the update.
Maybe we just need to wait it out, maybe.

[nebulon]

@Camille is there maybe a pending update for the nextcloud office app in your instance?

[Camille]

@james Actually, the problem is solved this morning : maybe it was just a cron task waiting to be performed to finalise the update. @nebulon I had manually updated the Nextcloud office app already. Thanks to you both for your quick answers

Still not working. These are my versions:
Nextcloud Office Version 8.7.5
Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.8)
Collabora Online 25.04.5.3.1

There is a pending Beta-Update for Nextcloud:

• Changes for new package version 5.5.5:
• Update server to 31.0.9

@rstockm you should go ahead and update to package v5.5.5 . It is stable.

I am not sure why it shows as unstable for you. It was released long time ago (Sep 12).

I only marked package v5.6.0 was marked as unstable because people reported issues in the latest version of nextcloud.

This did the Trick

@rstockm Thanks for reporting, I have also fixed the issue that 5.5.5 was being reported as unstable.

My comment to this thread maybe out of context, but as your information, I have tried for the last 1 year till today, Collabora as Nextcloud Office with Nextcloud Community Edition ,since I have no idea how good Collabora running on NC Enterprise Edition, is not reliable, i've been using onlyoffice and seems onlyoffice is much mature in stability and reliability especially running with NC Community Edition
