religious question. of course docker is the only way to go.
you could also ask: collabora or onlyoffice.
if you want to test and have a testserver somewhere. → ReinerNippes · GitHub
nevertheless both playbooks use docker and both need letsencrypt certs to work. right now i’m not sure about the “docker only” version. that one may work with selfsigned certs.
@himbeere to write a docker-free-playbook is still on my list. to be release soon…
Its depends on your personal goal. I am everyday exited about the ability to run Libreoffice on my android devices or browser everywhere since i have it integrated in my nextcloud environment.
I’m just curious – what would be your docker host?
Usually nextcloud docker is placed behind a reverse proxy that does all the certificate management. I tried for a long time to import the lets encrypt certs within docker, but I couldn’t make it work (probably because the use of using a proxy between the internet and the docker host constitutes a man-in-the-middle).
I also tried the linux packages recently – and although I was able to have these work several years ago, I couldn’t make them work in the last 3-4 months.
I really have no idea how docker performs with many simaltaneous users. My biggest bottle neck is the networking speed. I curious how it would run from the cloud.
so, my setup is a dedicated server for Nextcloud at home that can be reached out from outside.
id like to install Collabora online to be able to edit/create documents on the web browser without having to pay for a suite.
but, questions have come if it would be good to have a Docker for collabora or just install it directly on the server as i already have the SSL cerificate up and running.
If linux – you could run nextcloud with collabora linux packages on same machine, or nextcloud with docker/collobora on same machine as well. Both your nextcloud and collabora will probably use either ngnix or apache as the reverse proxy, so you don’t really need to worry about cert management beyond your web server if everything is being run on the same machine. If your nextcloud is at home, unless you have a very fast upload connection, it might be OK for yourself but for 20-30 people it would be too slow unless you have some superfast connection to your house
thats good to know… im still a bit new on the docker stuff and was wondering if it would be a good idea to start using it or have it installed locally.
another question would be speed performance on Docker vs locally.
