Setup docker collabora/code

Installation & Configuration
1

I’ve been watching this video https://www.collaboraonline.com/code/#learnmorecode. It explains how to setup docker on a raspberry Pi. I already have docker server on OMV and don’t need those instructions. I have a container with an empty coolwsd.xml. What I do need?
how to setup collabora code.
What should go in coolwsd.xml?
What port should be configured?

Here’s what you actually need:

  • coolwsd.xml: This is the main config file for Collabora Online. If it’s empty, the service won’t run properly. You can copy the default from the container:
docker exec <container> cat /etc/coolwsd/coolwsd.xml > coolwsd.xml
  • Required config: At a minimum, set the allowed WOPI domains (<alias>), server port (default: 9980), and allowed hosts in <wopi> and <net>.
  • Port: Expose and use 9980 (default internal port for CODE).

That said, I must say — you’re doing some really great hacking and integration work with Collabora Online! It’s exciting to see how deeply you’re exploring its capabilities.

However, please note that our public support channels like this one are limited in scope. I’ve noticed quite a few queries from you over the past few days, and while I truly appreciate your deep involvement, I also need to balance support across others in the community I can’t focus solely on your questions.

If your needs are urgent or getting complex, I highly recommend considering our engineering support or partner programs. These provide faster, more direct help tailored for advanced use cases like yours.

Thanks again for your enthusiasm and great work integrating with Collabora Online!

Thanks!

I hoped that this was created automagicallly if missing. I had my docker mount a volume coolwsd to an empty folder on host, but that didn’t work. :man_shrugging:

Getting collabora working in concert with nextcloud was quite a deal. Some but not all documentation (both and nextcloud and collabora/code) is helpful resulting in not curated sources ghosting around in the internet and to make matters worse are picked up by AI.

Hence my many questions.

This helped : /t/collabora-integration-guide/151879 on help nextcloud com
And this : /t/aw-nextcloud-collabora-code-integration-not-working-properly/228716 on help nextcloud com

This could do with a bit of a split up: Installation Guide — SDK https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/ documentation. To use an equivalent: It describes how to host a wedding weekend party for about 300 guests where sometimes one is just looking for a recipe for scrambled eggs… if you get me jest. :smiley:
