I have a Nextcloud server running as a VM on Proxmox. The current version is 32.0.5

I have installed Nextcloud Office, and first I ran it with the built-in CODE (Collabora Online Development Edition). However, I never manage to open a Word Document with this configuration.

So I decided to install a standalone Collabora server. After configuring the Collabora server and also after I did some adjustments in my Admin settings page i got the following:

To me, that seems like my configuration is ok

However, even with a standalone configured Collabora server i can’t open any Word Document, and also if I create a new document i cannot open it

If I try open Welcome to Nextclou Hub.docx, i get the following message

Both Collabora and Nextcloud are behind a Reverse Proxy. I use Traefik version 3.6.4

The Reverse Proxy is running on a different VM

Nextcloud is running on a VM with 2 processors and 4 GB of memory

Nextcloud version is Nextcloud Hub 25 Autumn (32.0.5)

Maybe the proxy is missing some settings. There are multiple things to forward and I don’t know if the Nextcloud admin page will check all of them. Also see here:

But what if i don’t use Nginx, Apache or HAProxy. I only use Traefik as my RP.

I can understand that if i install Collabora as a standalone server it is my responsibility, but if i choose to use the built-in CODE it should work flawlessly.

I saw a lot of documentation about Nginx or Apache but nothing about Traefik

Unfortunately I can’t give you any advice for Traefik since I don’t use that on my own. However it does not matter if you install Collabora as package or use it in a Docker container - the network connection is always your your responsibility. My setup using Apache as reverse proxy works fine here. But this is just my setup:

add the following encodedCharacters blocks to my traefik.yml:

entryPoints:
  http:
    address: ":80"

  https:
    address: ":443"
    http:
      encodedCharacters:
        allowEncodedSlash: true
        allowEncodedBackSlash: true
        allowEncodedNullCharacter: false
        allowEncodedSemicolon: false
        allowEncodedPercent: true
        allowEncodedQuestionMark: true
        allowEncodedHash: false

Thank you!

I added the section to my Traefik.yml file, and it works now.
