MS Office Online Server as document editor in Nextcloud

linkstat · October 9, 2020, 1:29pm

is something like:
https://your.server.fqdn/hosting/discovery

(if you installed it using HTTPS, that is the recommended).

Works nice. But doesn’t respect the interface language.
I have my regional settings in Spanish (Argentina), Online Office with spanish language pack installed, but no luck; in Nextcloud Word, Excel always load in english (default) language.

Great long waited integration.

Language is not automatically switching to user language. After open a document in owa the correct language is also in nextcloud set.

Hello Heiko. When you don’t have OWA what do you do? I only have the Online Office Server (without any Excehange nor Sharepoint Server)…

Sorry, I don’t know.

The developer of the addon has to set the language in a cookie to switch the ui language. To me it seems that Microsoft is using not a short (lang) variable but a long (language).

Maybe it will be fixed in a future release of the addon.

maybe someone had this issue too?:

are you interested to get a working officeonline version for spanish language pack with fallback to english?

I did program it for myself

So I could go grab any Office 2016 license to get access to the Office Online Server download?
Do I need to get a specific license to enable editing files on the OOS?

Steel_PC · March 10, 2021, 6:16am

You need a volume or an open license. The oos iso and key comes with it. Editing can be enabled with no limit except the line that says “client editing files should have a license to do so” but in reality I can edit files just fine on linux computers without office installed.

KiddingKitteh · March 11, 2021, 5:29pm

So I’ll be fine with “Office 2019 Standard”?
Does the OOS have to be installed on the same server as Nextcloud?

Steel_PC · March 12, 2021, 10:13am

Yes. No, OOS can and should be installed on a dedicated server

KiddingKitteh · March 12, 2021, 3:12pm

Thank you!
Can I install and use OOS on several Servers with only one licence?

Steel_PC · March 12, 2021, 5:39pm

I guess not but I don’t remember the installation process asking for the license key…

"Newly created files can’t be opened “Unable to open file” "

did you resolve this? I have the same issue…

wxf26054 · August 20, 2022, 5:09am

This is my issue.

I have editing license, and the server confiuration with no error. but…

The WOPI app shows “Failed to load Office Online-please try again later”

The wopi app configuration also seems to be true.
uTools_1660972243222

And I got the error log as bellow

What’s wrong with it ?

Hi @wxf26054 ,
I checked your https://san.amazehome.xyz/hosting/discovery page, and it is missing the “external-https” zone. Which command did you use to set up your OOS instance?
I used New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "http://oos.internal.url" -ExternalUrl "https://oos.example.org" -SSLOffloaded -EditingEnabled -AllowHttp.
My SSL is ended at a reverse-proxy, hence the -SSLOffloaded. If you are handling SSL directly by the IIS on your OOS server you have to omit this (maybe also -AllowHttp).
Check the documentation again if needed: Bereitstellen von Office Online Server - Office Online Server | Microsoft Docs
