Sorry, but I really get the impression that the whole Collabora Office thingy is just not ripe yet.
We are seeing too many people having problems with it.
And weird errors like the one mentioned above.
Using Docker this is supposed to work out of the box.
It does not.
Meaning that I’m fed up with all the
Well, this is embarrassing,
and
WOPI errors
kind of stuff.
Unfortunately now with 11.0.0 even the documents app no longer works.
So hooray - no longer any online office for me.
I know Kay, I had similar (and a lot of) waves of success and failures, joy and (real) anger with each change either of the app or the container or the NC version. Finally I arrived at NC11Final with newest Collabora app and a newly reinstalled docker engine under Debian 8.x (kernel 4.7.x) - and it works…wth!? Please, please don’t ask me why it works, it simply does
Let’s look at it this way: This is still a beta state - but the devs are working hard on it to finally make it work flawlessly.
what are you awaiting? The whole linux and and open source software world is cobbled by students and hobby programmers where one coder does not know what the other does. Nextcloud developer team: do not take this personally!!
In an uncoordinated software development among endless 3rd party products you can’t await a perfect system for free.
So don’t be embarresed. Just give the developers a bit more time. They’re doing a great job. And emperically you know that you should not update to a .0 for production purposes.
What you are saying is correct and I fully understand that.
But the way that Collabora Office is propagated as an alternative to Office 365 or Google Docs is not correct.
It should be clearly branded as an alternative for people having the resources and the time to tinker around for days, trying to get this to work.
Besides that, I really think it is problematic to hand out a intentionally handicapped version in order to sell hostings of a full version.
This also should be stated when propagating the collabora coffice docker.
But I fully understand that this is open source and that if it doesn’t work it’s my problem.
I’m trying to update manually the app for Collabora as I have some errors to make it works.
I get it from this link “https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/richdocuments” but I do not know how to update my current docker image.
Hi @Kay,
Cloud you kindly give us a little more info on your reverse proxy setup ?
It’s kinda tricky to put collabora behind an nginx for example.
do you use full ssl on your nextcloud instance and the proxy to the collabora docker ?
(Maybe you already tried all this, I’m just asking)
Regards, Aal.
With Nextcloud freshly update to 11, docker collabora up to date, i cannot enjoy it anymore :
Symptoms :
with the version 1.1.24, i lost the office icon in nextcloud. (When I resinstall 1.1.14 it comes back)
When i try to open a file i got : Well this is embarrassing … and in the docker log “wsd-00026-0031 0:48:38.783170 [ client_ws_0015 ] ERR ClientRequestHandler::handleClientRequest: BadRequestException: Invalid or unknown request.| LOOLWSD.cpp:1171”
@slapps , don’t worry about the missing icon, you don’t need it anymore with the latest collabora NC app! It simply opens a valid document from the file browser with collabora. Creating a new file is also done in file browser.
Retry new app version and open a file with the browser.
