Of course! But what is the advantage of Docker? I use Docker for our developer. But if I need resources and security then preferably root server. This is my opinion but anyway we can create a LibreOffice Online docker image.
Thanks. For the likes of me, the docker way is quite a (time) efficient way of managing things. It would also avoid the complications of compiling from source. With a good compose script, it makes a reliable and easily updated setup straightforward. Iâm also not too keen on the advertised online editing features being essentially a gimped closed binary - it would be good to make a more libre solution more accessible to the community.
In terms of security, Iâm inclined to keep Nextcloud behind a VPN anyway. Plenty of bugs around, and Iâm not anywhere enough of an expert in web application security to have sufficient confidence that I wonât make a serious mistake sooner or later.
There is already a libreoffice online docker image : docker pull libreoffice/online:master
But with the same limitation : no more than 10 differents documents open at the same time or no more than 20 connections to any documents at the same time.
Itâs really important to compile by ourself to write the limitation we want for our server. If your server can scale 100docs at the same time itâs good. If you have a slow server with low ram, you should try libreoffice docker because the limitation fit your scale.
But Docker is easy on a side and have a lot of bad things on the other side.
@husisusi : when compiling is done what are the folders and file we can copy to a pen drive or hdd drive to copy on another sever
I think of /opt/online /opt/poco create a user lool create loolwsd service.
But what about the /opt/libreoffice folder itâs 10Go, do we need all this folder or just /opt/libreoffice/installdir ?
Yes, I saw the existing docker, but noted the same limits. Itâs a horrible decision to make the limitation settings written in stone at compile time. TBH, I fear that this is due to the considerable influence of Collabora on the Libreoffice project.
I do think that a docker with a much higher hard limit compiled would be a benefit to many people. We can always add the caveat that server hardware must be taken into consideration for the number of users, and perhaps also develop some knowledge on the recommendations. The default limit is so restrictive as to make it unusable for any but the smallest group.
@earth i would focus on running the Hello World container first, if possible then the world is endless. If you donât wanna waste time finding out manually, remember Google is your friend.
