Support intro

Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can. :heart:

The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
    • 32.0.6
  • Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
    • Debian 13
  • Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
    • Apache 2.4.66
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
    • Caddy 2.11.2
  • PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
    • 8.3.30
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
    • yes
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • wanted to open a document oon a federated server
  • Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
    • AIO
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
    • no

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I want to open a document on a federated server and run into problems because of iframe embedding. Firefox says the host does not allow the frame to be displayed because I’m on the wrong host. I have added the respective server on both NC instances as trusted. (one is green, one is yellow).

I have applied this:

occ config:app:set richdocuments federation_use_trusted_domains --value="yes"

I have added the following Collabora variable in the AIO Mastercontainer under Collabora options

–o:net.content_security_policy= frame-ancestors *.thefederationserver.tld:*;

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Go to main nextcloud, to federated share

  2. Open Document

  3. get error

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.
