Just had a very large client reach out and ask for LibreOffice again after moving to MS Office because they found Excel too difficult to get data in correctly. So they are going to LibreOffice for exactly the reason that everyone claims that "everyone" chooses MS Office... LO is easier to use and has better compatibility 🙂

They own licenses for both, so purchase cost is not a factor. They've used MS Office more time in the last three years. Given less time with LibreOffice and zero "price" incentive, they've chosen it as the superior product for them - with zero prompting from IT. Out of the blue the managers chose it as the better product.

Update:
I was able to get it working with a self-signed certificate and the functionality is great. I had NC connected to the OO server with https://localip That worked fine but once left my LAN, from the web it tried to resolve the local ip. That of course will not work and it does zero good to only work while you are on the LAN. I was unsuccessful at getting the self-signed cert to work behind nginx reverse proxy.
Is it possible to just have nginx forward http to the OO server and:

Allow Letsencrypt to verify and issue the certs Actually function behind the proxy if the actual cert is on the OO server directly. I cannot find any good documentation of OO working properly behind the reverse proxy in the normal sense.

@hellonadya Thank you for replying. I've started reading up on it, but got sidetracked last night. Looking forward to actually trying it out.

It's great to have representatives actually responding in our community here!

@Donahue said in What is the right way to install snap on Fedora:

@JaredBusch will you be willing to write up a guide for getting open office working with NC, specifically behind nginx? I can try and fumble through it, but you make things look so easy.

@romo and I have that working. That's how ours works. Romo had to modify the Docker instance because the instance itself is misconfigured for doing this.

10 day old bug report on this.
https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/158

Surprised none were sooner since I had the same problem back in November.

We are starting to use this now.

@scottalanmiller here's an interesting topic from the Nextcloud community - https://help.nextcloud.com/t/collabora-and-onlyoffice-together-in-nc13/31118

Thanks!

Pulled a screenshot, but didn't get things setup in the home lab yet.

You should upload a picture. Whatever Google stuff you have here doesn't work.

Huh, it's showing up fine for me. Anyone else not seeing the screenshot?

This is not the first time I have called you out on this. FFS, last time I told you to just copy past from clipboard.

That hadn't worked for me once and I got into that old bad habit again, dagnabit.

@JaredBusch said in Integrating OnlyOffice with NextCloud:

I just did this with Nextcloud 17.0.1 and OnlyOffice 5.4.2, running on separate Debian 10 instances.

both NC and OO are running certbot themselves because bad planning. i have 60 days until NC renews and 90 until OO renews to look at WTF I did here and clean it up.

Why is that bad planning?

Because things were rush/done without full planning for what was needed to make things happen correctly.

That was not my thing. But the thing I'm presented with now. I can fix it. Just annoying.

It's been a while, but I'm doing some testing of this now. Big deals for us include the addition of mobile apps which some others are lacking.

Here is the CentOS / RHEL install page, definitely going to check this out.
