I want to set up collaborator online (CODE) in my home lab, but I have a problem with the apache server configuration.
This is my situation.
- Reverse proxy server Nginx on Debian 10 (192.168.1.105)
- Nextcloud 23 + Collabora Online on Debian 11 (192.168.1.108)
Nextcloud 23 works very well, I just want to solve Collabora Online.
Install Collabora Online on Debian 11 (192.168.1.108)
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0C54D189F4BA284D
nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/collabora.list
deb https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-debian11 ./
sudo apt update
sudo apt install coolwsd code-brand
Make some changes in the configuration file.
sudo coolconfig set ssl.enable false
sudo coolconfig set ssl.termination true
sudo coolconfig set storage.wopi.host collabora.example.com
sudo coolconfig set-admin-password
sudo systemctl restart coolwsd
restart service
sudo systemctl restart coolwsd.service
sudo systemctl status coolwsd.service

I’ll configure a reverse proxy server and get TLS certificates.
On debian 10 (192.168.1.105)
Here is the resulting configuration file.
server {
server_name collabora.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.108:9980;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/collabora.example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/collabora.example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = collabora.example.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name collabora.example.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
then i open the web browser url collabora.example.com
The web browser responds OK.
Now I would like to set up an apache2 server, but I don’t know how (on 192.168.1.108)
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/collabora.example.com.conf
I used this configuration

sudo a2ensite collabora.example.com.conf
sudo ufw allow 9980
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_wstunnel
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
sudo a2enmod ssl #Maybe not necessary
sudo systemctl reload apache2
then i open the web browser url https://collabora.example.com/browser/dist/admin/admin.html#
Web admin console does not work.
Now I go to the nextcloud web interface and install collabor online.
Next I go to Settings → Office and set it as it is in the picture.
However, files cannot be edited or created.
I don’t know where I’m making a mistake.
