I run Caddy as my reverse proxy. I find it generally easier to configure than NGINX. I’ve never tried Traefik. I’m having a hell of a time getting Collabora office working with my NextCloud instance (both via docker) though. Has anyone else successfully done this? I’m not sure if its because I haven’t translated the config correctly from the NGINX example, or that it just doesn’t work.

I would love to see somebody’s config if they have it working.

    I have! But I don’t have time to post it now. I’ll try to send an update in the morning.

        Yes Yes I did, sorry! Collabora CODE server configuration in Caddy.

        office.DOMAIN {
        @collabora {
                path /browser
                path /browser/*
                path /hosting/discovery
                path /hosting/capabilities
                path /loleaflet/*
                path /lool/*
                path /cool/*
        }
        @local-ip {
                remote_ip private_ranges
        }
        reverse_proxy @collabora https://nextcloud-office:9980/ {
                transport http {
                        tls_insecure_skip_verify
                }
        }
        reverse_proxy @local-ip nextcloud-office:9980 {
                transport http {
                        tls_insecure_skip_verify
                }
        }
}

        Nextcloud section, may look different from yours I use the FPM image but it should be similar, enough. There are also some limitations on the urls based on local vs public access but that is an attempt at hardening rather than necessary configurations.

        nextcloud.DOMAIN {
        root * /var/www/html

        file_server

        php_fastcgi nextcloud:9000

        header {
                Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;
        }

        @phpFiles {
                path_regexp phpfile ^/(remote|public|cron|core/ajax/update|status|ocs/v1|ocs/v2)\.php
        }

        rewrite @phpFiles {http.regexp.phpfile.0}

        redir /.well-known/carddav /remote.php/dav 301
        redir /.well-known/caldav /remote.php/dav 301

        @local-ip {
                not remote_ip private_ranges
                path /settings/admin
                path /settings/admin/*
                path /settings/users
                path /settings/users/*
                path /settings/apps
                path /settings/apps/*
        }
        #respond @local-ip 404

        @forbidden {
                path /.htaccess
                path /data/*
                path /config/*
                path /db_structure
                path /.xml
                path /README
                path /3rdparty/*
                path /lib/*
                path /templates/*
                path /occ
                path /console.php
        }
        respond @forbidden 404
}

        Then in nextcloud you just point it to the CODE server domain above & you even have tls securing the communication layer.

          Thankyou! Nextcloud itself wàs never a problem, but the Collabora stuff would just not work properly with any config I tried. I’m going to make another attempt with these settings as soon as I get the chance.

          Hrm…I must have had something else wrong because I’m experiencing the same thing. I try to load a document that I created with the menu and it seems to time out. I thought that it was because of my Caddy config, but perhaps it wasn’t.

          I only get: Document loading failed Failed to load Nextcloud Office - please try again later

            What does your compose file for CODE look like? It took me a while to get those environment variables set so it would work correctly.

              The docker config is nothing special:

              collabora:
    hostname: collabora
    image: collabora/code
    restart: "no"
    privileged: true
    cap_add:
      - MKNOD
    networks:
      - default
    env_file: collabora.env
    ports:
      - 8054:9980

              Env: Besides username, password, and this line:

              extra_params=--o:ssl.enable=true

              I have 2 other variables set: domain and aliasgroup1. Is domain supposed to refer to the Collabora domain or the NextCloud domain? I actually can’t remember where I got the aliasgroup1 from, but it was probably during my googling to try and get things working. I remember reading that the ‘.’ characters had to be escaped because those lines were used in a reflex.
