Summary of the issue you are facing:

I would love to use the documentation effectively but I am not even sure what I am looking for :frowning:

I have been slowly attempting to resolve all of the installation issues, this is the biggest. I have collabora installed in a separate container on docker BUT using the same nextcloud_network. Collabora is returning OK in the browser when I reach it using https://collabora.sol2charon.us. When I go to the User > Administration Settings > Administration > Office I get

Your browser has been unable to connect to the Collabora server: http://collabora.sol2charon.us

This URL is determined on the Collabora server either from the configured URL or the server_name parameter in coolwsd.xml.

Note that it is complaining about http:// instead of the https:// that is clearly in the URL.

I have updated the coolwsd.xml adding the server_name and the network 172.27.0.0 to the lok_allow and post_allow. But nothing I do seems to resolve the connectivity issue.

my setup is as below

I am certain this is something very simple to correct but AI has not been able to get me there. I have also noticed that for some reason discovery is attempting to use http instead of https. Obviously not being able to use the collabora server means that I cannot open any docx etc.

There is also a problem connecting to redis even though it is running without errors in the same stack.

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
