Collabora Online

Deployment and configuration of Collabora Online as an optional Docker Compose service.

📋 Prerequisites​

⚠️ To enable Collabora Online integration, ensure that the reverse proxy configuration is activated first.

⚡ Activation​

Follow the steps below to enable Collabora Online with the Nginx reverse proxy.

Nginx configuration​

In ./config/nginx/nginx.conf, uncomment the Collabora Online include at the end of the file:

include collabora.conf;

In ./config/nginx/docker-compose.nginx.yaml, ensure that the Collabora Online configuration is mounted in the Nginx container:

services:
  nginx:
    volumes:
      - ./collabora.conf:/etc/nginx/collabora.conf

Docker Compose configuration​

In docker-compose.yaml, uncomment the required Docker Compose files:

include:
  - ./config/nginx/docker-compose.nginx.yaml
  - ./config/collabora/docker-compose.collabora.yaml

If you are using HTTPS via the Nginx reverse proxy, edit the ./config/collabora/docker-compose.collabora.yaml file and set the ssl.termination option to true:

services:
  collabora:
    environment:
      extra_params: >-
        --o:ssl.termination=true

Sync-in configuration​

In environment.yaml, enable the Collabora Online integration:

applications:
  files:
    editors:
      collabora:
        # enable integration
        enabled: true
info

docker compose up -d && docker compose restart nginx sync_in to apply the changes

🌐 Access​

Sync-in and Collabora Online run in Docker containers and communicate via the Nginx reverse proxy.

It is essential to access the interface using either the server's IP address or a properly configured domain name.

warning

Accessing Sync-in via http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 will prevent Collabora from working properly (documents cannot be displayed or edited).
