Is there a limit on the size of documents loaded by Collaborator Online?

Hey @Chenkai, thanks for the question.

Is the performance related to server memory size or is there any configuration?

Yes, there is a configuration file.

Is there a limit on the size of documents loaded by Collaborator Online?

No. Not limits in memory, but it does limit load time.

Back in 2021, mmeeks described how to tweak:

  • coolwsd.xml = the main Collabra Online settings file
  • + limit_load_secs = the “don’t let a document load for longer than X seconds” setting

In the XML file, it describes:

“Maximum number of seconds to wait for a document load to succeed. 0 for unlimited.”

so if you change it to 0, that would let Collabora take as long as it needs to load some behemoth-sized document.

By default though, these limits are in place so one runaway user/document can’t suck up all the resources and jam up everyone else.

If you’re the only one using it, or if you’re going to only have a handful of trustworthy users using Collabora, then sure, make it unlimited. :slight_smile:
