The disadvantage of the docker way is the amount of disk space the docker image needs. I did it the docker way first, just for simplicity: see Quick tryout with Nextcloud docker - Collabora Office and Collabora Online. Once by means of a docker image, and then a second time based on the packages for Ubuntu. Again, there are plenty of tutorials on the web to do so. Nextcloud is not a resource hog you can run it on a Raspberry Pi if you want.
#Collabora code install ubuntu how to#
I first installed NextCloud (you will find plenty of tutorials on the web for how to do that). NextCloud provides the user authentication, file storage and general UI. You have to install it in combination with NextCloud, and its Collabora Online extension ( ).
You can find them here: Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE) - Collabora Office and Collabora Online Was hoping I could “hook in” LibreOffice Online when clicking to open a file.Īny help/advice/suggestions in getting started with this adventure is most appreciated.Ĭollabora provides instructions for installing their CODE (Collabora Online Development Edition) which is a tweaked/polished Libreoffice Online. I already have some “document management” functionality running as part of my app using Cute File Browser similar to this demo - Cute file browser My app would continue to run as a normal web app as it does today (not in docker). To clarify … I would only want to use the docker container to supply the document editor functionality of my web app. Still not sure if I can access/open/save a document that’s on my server that are outside of the docker container (?) This seems like a lot of overkill to be able to edit office docs on a server … I say that just because I don’t yet understand the resource/performance/maintenance hits involved with running things in Docker. … or can anyone suggest a better place to start ? I had planned to start here - How To Install and Use Docker on CentOS 7 | DigitalOcean to get Docker installed and then get a container for LibraOffice installed. It’s probably time I started learning Docker … Since both LibreOffice Online and OnlyOffice offer a Docker install (and claim it’s the easiest way to get up and running) I have a few questions (mostly related to installing/running LibreOffice Online in docker) that I was hoping someone could help me clarify before starting down this path …
#Collabora code install ubuntu full#
My hosted server runs Centos 7 and I have full access to everything. I started looking at OnlyOffice to accomplish this as well, but have decided to go with Libre Office Online I would like to integrate Libre Office Online to one of the websites that I own/maintain so my clients can directly, in a browser, create/update/delete documents that I maintain for them on the server (without the hassle of upload/download). I’ve used LibreOffice for awhile on my desktop for personal doc use and love it.
