Collabora online app doesn't exist in Nextcloud

Nextcloud version: 24.0.2
Operating system and version: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Apache version: 2.4.54
PHP version: 7.4.30

I’ve installed Collabora Online - Built-in CODE Server app in NextCloud but per the Collabora installation guide (Collabora online - Nextcloud), the “Collabora Online” app should be installed together with it.
However, I don’t have a “Collabora Online” app within the list of all apps in NextCloud/Apps/Office & Text.

Hi @Memento,
You are missing the required support template. Please fill this form out and edit into your post.

This will give us the technical info and logs needed to help you! Thanks.

Thank you for noticing this @JimmyKater

I’ve updated my description.

The “Collabora Online” app doesn’t automatically get installed when you install the CODE server backend, but definitely should show up as an app that you can install. I’m not familiar enough to know what is being repaired from the log output, but I’d say it probably failed, and that has something to do with why the app is missing.

A different thread probably has in-depth suggestions on how to repair whatever’s wrong with your Nextcloud instance, but I’ll point out that you can install an app manually by unzipping its latest release into your nextcloud/apps folder. I’d actually recommend having it be in a secondary apps folder, to reduce the risk if things go wrong. You’ll also still need to enable the app from the web interface once it’s in place.

Update successful

collabora office is named Nextcloud Office in the NC apps store

hey both, thank you for getting this answered!

I’ve found the Nextcloud Office app now in the NC app store and enabled it along with the “Built-in CODE Server” app. However, when I want to open any doc (.xlsx, .dts) within NextCloud itself, it’s just spinning around and won’t open the document at all (I see some 404 errors in the browser console).

In Settings/NextCloud office it says that Collabora online server is reachable, so I’m not sure why it won’t open any doc.
Do you maybe have some advice?

Thank you!
