looking to run NextCloud on a small Debian Linux server, enabling online document editing with “Nextcloud Office”.
I went through a lot of back and forth to get nextcloud, postgres and collabora/code images running in separate Docker containers on the server, behind a reverse proxy. They seem to be running fine individually. Now I would like to connect NextCloud with Office.
I thought I would find relevant configuration in NextCloud “Settings”, but I did not. A video on Youtube showed to use “Nextcloud Office”, which can be found in “Apps”.
This is the strangest thing. When freshly installed with the latest Docker image, in “Apps” → “Office & text” there is no “NextCloud Office”, only “Collabora Online”.
After this is installed, “Collabora Online” will be automatically renamed to “Nextcloud Office”. WTF?
Now there is a new section “Office” in NextCloud “Settings”.
My problem was just the NextCloud configuration in the GUI.
There is no “NextCloud Office” app as you would expect and no “Office” in settings. I had to install “Collabora Online” app, which was then automagically renamed to “NextCloud Office”, only then “Office” showed up in settings.
But this is not documented - and makes no sense to me
