I’m trying to install Collabora Online on Ubuntu. I was able to install the package via apt and I started setting it up but I am confused about the WOPI part. What do I need for that? I don’t have NextCloud or OwnCloud. I’m trying to integrate this with Mattermost.

Thanks for the reply. I have already done that. The plugin was easy to install but I also need an instance of Collabora Online. My question was and is:
Can I use Mattermost as the database? What should I do?
Mattermost itself is not a database for storing documents. However, if files are stored as attachments in Mattermost, you could:
- Use Mattermost’s file API to retrieve and save documents
- Build a WOPI-compatible backend that interacts with Mattermost’s file system
