PSA: How to get collabora working on nextcloud 23!

I had the same issue on an already installed Nextcloud instance in a VM which I upgraded to 23.

The solution I found was to Disable then Remove the Collabora app from the web interface first.

After I did this, I followed the following steps:

download https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/releases/download/v4.1.2/richdocuments.tar.gz

tar xf richdocuments tar.gz

chown -R www-data:www-data richdocuments

mv richdocuments /var/www/nextcloud/apps/

Reload the web interface.

Go into the apps section and allow untested then enable Collabora Online. Make sure you DO NOT UPGRADE Collabora Online to 5.0.0.
