Hi all, I am trying to use Collabora online, but am stuck. I set it up via the docker instructions here (https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/installation/CODE_Docker_image.html).
But when I go to https://127.0.0.1:9980/, all I get is “OK”. The reverse proxy works, but the same “OK”. How do I actually use the Collabora?
I am anticipating a web interface to a document editor by the browser.
You need a way to hand it a file for editing, nextcloud can do that
I have it hooked up to nextcloud and get a UI for documents in there. There’s an area in the settings there where you can point it to collabora. I haven’t used it outside of that, but it does have a UI. It’s not on the root url though. I forget where it is, but you may be able to find what that is.
I haven’t worked with Collabora before so I could be completely wrong but it looks like from the install doc that the “OK” string is what should be expected.
Is CODE the server backend to handle syncing and do you need to install a separate application that points to that server?
I know standard notes is like that.
Ah, so Collabora is the backend and there has to be a frontend? That was not clear to me. Is there a common frontend? I should add, I am specifically trying to avoid using NextCloud and OwnCloud.
The parent comment is correct. CODE is the server, you need the “Collabora Online app” for document editing. I’m not aware if there are alternatives to the ownCloud / Nextcloud apps.
Hate to say it, but I cannot find an alternate front end to it. There might be one, but documentation on it is pretty scarce, every tutorial I’ve ever seen has just told how to let nextcloud use it.
But, does Collabora office just display the message “OK” and that’s it? I was expecting a display of some sort.
collabora doesn’t provide a frontend and isn’t meant to be a standalone document editor. the “ok” is expected behavior and indicates the server is functional. you need a different service that supports collabora integration, such as nextcloud. then you just enter the address of your server and it should work
I would assume that means it’s not configured. What do the logs say?
I see a few “unknown resource” lines for, for example /login from me trying to figure out where to go. My logs are as follows: https://tinyurl.com/4u626dyz (Lemmy won’t let me paste the full logs)
Nothing strikes me as problematic? What am I missing? The instructions don’t say much more than the docker installation process.
