collabora ^#2

stable

Supports: bionic disco xenial

Description

Collabora Online Development Edition (or "CODE"), is the lightweight, or "home" edition of the commercially-supported Collabora Online platform.

It's basically the LibreOffice interface in a web-browser.

CODE is not a standalone app, it's a backend intended to be accessed via "WOPI" from an existing interface (E.g. Nextcloud)

Overview

This collabora charm is intended to be used with nextcloud with a ssl-termination-proxy in front to bring some security to the installation.

A typical setup is with Nextcloud, Collabora & SSL termination proxy looks like this:

Here is a nextcloud-collabora-tls bundle for the below.

Deploy without SSL

If you like to try it out without SSL for testing purposes.

juju deploy cs:~erik-lonroth/nextcloud
juju config nextcloud fqdn='nextcloud.mydomain.com'

juju deploy postgresql
juju relate postgresql:db nextcloud:postgres

juju deploy cs:~erik-lonroth/collabora
juju config collabora nextcloud_domain='nextcloud.mydomain.com'
juju expose nextcloud

Login to nextcloud

username: admin
password: mypassword

You should change the password for admin.

Add & configure the collabora plugin for online editing

After installation, you should be logging in to nextcloud and add the "Collabora Plugin".

Configure the Collabora URL and port as: "https://collabora.mydomain.com:443/"

After configuring collabora, try create a "ods" document from your browser and it should work. (Its known to fail the first time for some reason, but try a few times if it fails.)

Known Limitations and Issues

Does not use SSL. Should have a SSL-termination proxy in front.

Upstream Project Names

TODO:

The optional username and password parameters enable the admin console feature of CODE. You can access the admin console at https:///loleaflet/dist/admin/admin.html.
Make collabora bind to private address (not 0.0.0.0).

docker-opts: (string) Extra options to pass to the Docker daemon. e.g. --insecure-registry.
docker_runtime: (string) Docker runtime to install valid values are "upstream" (Docker PPA), "nvidia" (Nvidia PPA), "apt" (Ubuntu archive), "auto" (Nvidia PPA or Ubuntu archive, based on your hardware), or "custom" (must have set `docker_runtime_repo` URL, `docker_runtime_key_url` URL and `docker_runtime_package` name).; auto
docker_runtime_key_url: (string) Custom Docker repository validation key URL.
docker_runtime_package: (string) Custom Docker repository package name.
docker_runtime_repo: (string) Custom Docker repository, given in deb format. Use `{ARCH}` to determine architecture at runtime. Use `{CODE}` to set release codename. E.g. `deb [arch={ARCH}] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu {CODE} stable`.
enable-cgroups: (boolean) Enable GRUB cgroup overrides cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1. WARNING changing this option will reboot the host - use with caution on production services.
http_proxy: (string) URL to use for HTTP_PROXY to be used by Docker. Useful in egress-filtered environments where a proxy is the only option for accessing the registry to pull images.
