We need to upgrade Nextcloud from version 28 to version 29 on a new virtual machine because the current one does not have LVM set up, and the storage of the main file system needs to be flexibly expandable.
The migration to the new virtual machine using a file storage backup and a database backup has been successful so far. However, while configuring the new cloud, we also wanted to set up a performance-stable Collabora Online. Unfortunately, I am struggling with the instructions and keep encountering an error. I am unclear on how to get Collabora Online functioning properly. When I enter the Collabora URL after adding the Collabora Apache config using the Apache reverse proxy module pointing to Collabora port 9980, I do not reach an accessible web server.
Installation Collabora with the help of the following instruction:
Wir müssen Nextcloud von Version 28 auf Version 29 auf einer neuen virtuellen Maschine upgraden, da die aktuelle kein LVM eingerichtet hat und der Speicher des Hauptdateisystems flexibel erweiterbar sein soll.
Die Migration auf die neue virtuelle Maschine mit Hilfe eines Dateispeicher-Backups und eines Datenbank-Backups war bisher erfolgreich. Allerdings wollten wir bei der Konfiguration der neuen Cloud auch ein performance-stabiles Collabora Online einrichten. Leider habe ich Schwierigkeiten mit den Anleitungen und stoße immer wieder auf einen Fehler. Es ist mir unklar, wie man Collabora Online funktionstüchtig zum Laufen bekommt. Wenn ich die Collabora URL eintrage, nachdem die Collabora Apache-Konfiguration mit dem Apache Reverse-Proxy-Modul hinzugefügt wurde, welches auf den Collabora-Port 9980 verweist, erreiche ich keinen zugänglichen Webserver.
Installation von Collabora mit Hilfe der folgenden Anleitung:
Maybe provide some clarity in terms of connectivity - both system are more or less independent - both should be configured on their own in the reverse proxy and connectivity to them is (logically) independent from each other even in case the data flow through same network infrastructure and might be hosted behind the same reverse proxy.
Hello, thank you very much for the information.
So, according to you, a Collabora server should be set up independently for integration into Nextcloud, and it should be avoided to install it on the same virtual machine?
Apologies for the double post, I forgot that one can also write in both languages in the same thread.
Is there a step-by-step guide for setting up a Collabora server without Docker?
like always I recommend to start with official docs the guide you linked shows native installation as well.
Depending on your requirements it could be sufficient to install both systems on the same hardware. I would logically separate both systems using either VMs, Docker or any other technology you are comfortable with. I’m using Docker and I don’t see any reason not to use it as long you remain in a small setup… if you grow you obviously need something more complex like Kubernetes or Openshift…
