Running Collabora without other/subdomain?

ℹ️ Support 📄 Collabora

Hello,

i installed the collabora (with CODE) on my server (the same with nextcloud running).
My problem: i am using deSEC for dyndns and it is not possible there to make a subdomain.
Would it be possible to install/use collaborar with the same domain? Maybe with a special port nr.?
For SSL i am using letscrypt.

Thank you!

Hello,

I think that you could make your apache virtual host listening on 9981 instead of 443 by doing those steps :

  • Make apache listen on port 9981 : add “Listen 9981” to /etc/apache2/ports.conf
  • Change your virtual host parameters in apache in your collabora.conf or whatever file:
    "<VirtualHost *:9981>
    ServerName domain.com:9981"
  • Restart apache “service apache2 restart”
  • Set your collabora app in nextcloud to bind to https://domain.com:9981
  • Add a rule to your firewall if you have one “ufw allow 9981/tcp”

The following setup works for me but I have another problem to solve before making collabora work :joy:

Thank you a lot!
But it is not working right now - i always got this message.
SSL should work - i have a working letsencrypt ssl for mydomain.de (nextcloud) and then should mydomain.de:9981 also work right?

GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to mydomain.de port 9981: Connection timed out

Libreoffice.conf

<VirtualHost *:9981>
ServerName mydomain.de:9981
