Collabora CODE: opening docx file gives error, "Bad URI syntax"

ℹ️ Support 📄 Office

I have NextCloud and Collabora hosted in Docker under cloud.example.local and office.example.local respectively. It’s on the same machine as Pi-hole, so I’ve been using Lighttpd to reverse-proxy to these containers.

When I open a *.docx file on NextCloud via Firefox, Windows, I get a blank page. The console says there’s a 400 Bad Request error:

Fair enough. When I check the logs on Collabora, I get:

wsd-00001-00024 2023-04-20 03:15:26.544182 +0000 [ websrv_poll ] ERR  #29: #29 Exception while processing incoming request: [GET /cool/https:/cloud.example.local/index.php/apps/richdocuments/wopi/files/8_ocdwdb8wqut3%3Faccess_token=nnse3i6s2Nnz8Iv9Ol8qVvmwMpAlziEz&access_token_ttl=1681996524000/ws?WOPISrc=https://cloud.example.local/index.php/apps/richdocuments/wopi/files/8_ocdwdb8wqut3&compat=/ws HTTP/1.1

Which, well, that’s strange. Is the https:/ part of GET /cool/https:/cloud.example.local/index.php only supposed to have one /? I’m also reading online that https:// shouldn’t be part of the URI’s request from the first place. If true, how would I go about fixing that on Lighttpd?

My current Lighttpd configuration reads as follows:

$HTTP["host"] == "cloud.example.local" {
  url.redirect += (
    "^/\.well-known/carddav" => "/remote.php/dav",
    "^/\.well-known/caldav" => "/remote.php/dav",
    "^/\.well-known/webfinger" => "/index.php/.well-known/webfinger",
    "^/\.well-known/nodeinfo" => "/index.php/.well-known/nodeinfo"
  )

  proxy.server = ( "" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => "8383" ) ) )
  setenv.add-response-header = ( "Strict-Transport-Security" => "max-age=15552000" )
}

$HTTP["host"] == "office.example.local" {
  proxy.server = (
    "" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => "9980" ) )
  )
  setenv.add-response-header = ( "Strict-Transport-Security" => "max-age=15552000" )

  # Enable websockets
  proxy.header = ( "upgrade" => "enable" )
}

And docker-compose.yml reads:

Aside: Not an immediate problem, but it looks like the Nextcloud container can only access the Collabora via URL http://office:9980. What’s up with that?
