Regarding the very recent post about the PGP repository update and the commands to run - does this apply to an installation of Collabora when using with a Nextcloud server and Nextcloud Office?

> We have updated our PGP signing key for COOL and CODE .rpm and .deb packages to align with modern standards. This change is necessary as some recent Linux distributions have migrated to Sequoia-PGP for key and signature verification. Action required: Users will need to update the Collabora Online PGP key on their systems. This can be done using the following commands: On RPM based distros: wget -O repomd.xml.key https://collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-rpm/repodata/repomd.xml.…

Hii @Nigel Great to see you back on forum 🙂

Yes, the recent PGP signing key update **does apply** if you’re using **Collabora Online (COOL or CODE)** installed via `.deb` or `.rpm` packages — even if it’s being used **together with Nextcloud Office**.

- **If you’re running Collabora Online as a separate service (e.g., on the same server or another server) installed using .deb or .rpm packages**, then **yes** , you need to update the PGP key to continue receiving updates properly from the Collabora repository.

- **If you’re using a Docker image of Collabora CODE (like `collabora/code`)**, then **no action is needed** — Docker images are self-contained and don’t rely on your system’s package manager or its keys.

- **If you’re using a Nextcloud app only (like Nextcloud Office) without a separate Collabora backend**, this typically uses a Collabora server elsewhere, such as the built-in Nextcloud Office CODE backend, or your own Docker-based setup. Again, **no update is needed** unless you manually installed Collabora Online via `.deb` or `.rpm`.

### TL;DR

**Update the key** if you installed COOL/CODE using `.deb` or `.rpm` packages.  
**No update needed** if you’re using Docker or Snap packages.  
**No update needed** on the Nextcloud server unless it also directly runs a `.deb`/`.rpm` installed Collabora instance.

Hoho! V good! 😊

And many thanks for clarification, I am going to run the .deb command (installed as package). Getting cautious in my dotage about ‘assuming’ anything once everything is working 😎

If you get an idle moment perhaps have a look at another (it seems v long running) issue. Can’t remember if I raised here or over on Nextcloud forum, sorry! My users are very frustrated that they can only work on one doc at a time which seems to basically be because they don’t open in a new browser tab?

Sorry to ‘crossthread’ (🙄😁).

All the best and again, many thanks.
