Even with extensive research it fails to install official Nextcloud VM with option “Collabora Office” if Nginx as reverse proxy server is in front of it.

Project: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm

Setup:

  • VM1: Nextcloud / VM2: Nginx as reverse proxy server

Situation:

Question:
How to modify Nginx config to make it work with official Nextcloud VM with option “Collabora Office”?

Thanks for any help.
