# Collabora Office Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Password Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add the following to `secrets/clients/test.sops.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
cd infrastructure
|
|
|
|
|
export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE="$PWD/keys/age-key.txt"
|
|
|
|
|
sops secrets/clients/test.sops.yaml
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then add this line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
2026-01-06 10:54:14 +01:00
|
|
|
collabora_admin_password: <generate-strong-password-here>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace `<generate-strong-password-here>` with a strong password generated using:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d "=+/" | cut -c1-32
|
2026-01-06 10:34:42 +01:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Save and exit. SOPS will automatically re-encrypt the file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features Added
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1. Collabora Office Container
|
|
|
|
|
- Online document editing (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
|
|
|
|
|
- Integrated with Nextcloud via WOPI protocol
|
|
|
|
|
- Accessible at: https://office.{client}.vrije.cloud
|
|
|
|
|
- Resource limits: 1GB RAM, 2 CPUs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2. Separate Cron Container
|
|
|
|
|
- Dedicated container for background jobs
|
|
|
|
|
- Uses same image as Nextcloud
|
|
|
|
|
- Shares data volume
|
|
|
|
|
- Runs `/cron.sh` entrypoint
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3. Two-Factor Authentication
|
|
|
|
|
Apps installed:
|
|
|
|
|
- `twofactor_totp` - TOTP authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
- `twofactor_admin` - Admin enforcement
|
|
|
|
|
- `twofactor_backupcodes` - Backup codes for account recovery
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
- 2FA enforced for all users
|
|
|
|
|
- Users must set up 2FA on first login (after SSO)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4. Dual-Cache Strategy
|
|
|
|
|
- **APCu**: Local in-memory cache (fast, single-server)
|
|
|
|
|
- **Redis**: Distributed cache and file locking (shared across containers)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
|
'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\APCu',
|
|
|
|
|
'memcache.distributed' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
|
|
|
|
|
'memcache.locking' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 5. Maintenance Window
|
|
|
|
|
- Set to 2:00 AM for automatic maintenance tasks
|
|
|
|
|
- Minimizes user disruption
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After adding the Collabora password, redeploy:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
cd infrastructure/ansible
|
|
|
|
|
export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE="../keys/age-key.txt"
|
|
|
|
|
export HCLOUD_TOKEN="..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ansible-playbook -i hcloud.yml playbooks/deploy.yml
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Collabora Configuration in Nextcloud
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The automation configures:
|
|
|
|
|
- WOPI URL: `https://office.{client}.vrije.cloud`
|
|
|
|
|
- WOPI Allowlist: Docker internal networks (172.18.0.0/16, 172.21.0.0/16)
|
|
|
|
|
- SSL termination: Handled by Traefik
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1. Test Collabora Office
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Login to Nextcloud
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a new document (File → New → Document)
|
|
|
|
|
3. Should open Collabora Online editor
|
|
|
|
|
4. If it doesn't load, check:
|
|
|
|
|
- Collabora container is running: `docker ps | grep collabora`
|
|
|
|
|
- WOPI URL is configured: `docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php occ config:app:get richdocuments wopi_url`
|
|
|
|
|
- Network connectivity between containers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2. Test Two-Factor Authentication
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Login to Nextcloud (via SSO or direct)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Should be prompted to set up 2FA
|
|
|
|
|
3. Use authenticator app to scan QR code
|
|
|
|
|
4. Enter TOTP code to verify
|
|
|
|
|
5. Save backup codes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3. Test Cron Jobs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check if cron is running:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
docker logs nextcloud-cron
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should see periodic job execution logs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4. Test Caching
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php occ config:list system
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should show APCu and Redis configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Collabora Not Loading
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Symptom**: Blank page or "Failed to load" when creating documents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Solutions**:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Check Collabora is running: `docker ps | grep collabora`
|
|
|
|
|
2. Check Collabora logs: `docker logs collabora`
|
|
|
|
|
3. Verify WOPI URL: Should be `https://office.{client}.vrije.cloud`
|
|
|
|
|
4. Check network allowlist includes Nextcloud container IP
|
|
|
|
|
5. Test Collabora directly: Visit `https://office.{client}.vrije.cloud` (should show Collabora page)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2FA Not Enforcing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Symptom**: Users can skip 2FA setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Solution**:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value="true" --type=boolean
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Cron Not Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Symptom**: Background jobs not executing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Solutions**:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Check container: `docker ps | grep nextcloud-cron`
|
|
|
|
|
2. Check logs: `docker logs nextcloud-cron`
|
|
|
|
|
3. Restart: `docker restart nextcloud-cron`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Cache Not Working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Symptom**: Slow performance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Solutions**:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Verify APCu is installed: `docker exec nextcloud php -m | grep apcu`
|
|
|
|
|
2. Verify Redis connection: `docker exec nextcloud-redis redis-cli ping`
|
|
|
|
|
3. Check config: `docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php occ config:list system`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Collabora Admin Password
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Collabora admin interface is protected by username/password:
|
|
|
|
|
- Username: `admin`
|
|
|
|
|
- Password: Stored in secrets (SOPS encrypted)
|
|
|
|
|
- Access: https://office.{client}.vrije.cloud/browser/dist/admin/admin.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation**: Change password after first deployment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2FA Backup Codes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users receive backup codes when setting up 2FA. These should be:
|
|
|
|
|
- Stored securely (password manager or printed)
|
|
|
|
|
- Used only if TOTP device is lost
|
|
|
|
|
- Regenerated after use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Network Isolation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Collabora and Nextcloud communicate over Docker internal network:
|
|
|
|
|
- Not exposed to public internet
|
|
|
|
|
- WOPI protocol secured by allowlist
|
|
|
|
|
- SSL termination at Traefik edge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Performance Tuning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Collabora Resource Limits
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default: 1GB RAM, 2 CPUs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adjust in `docker-compose.nextcloud.yml.j2`:
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
|
deploy:
|
|
|
|
|
resources:
|
|
|
|
|
limits:
|
|
|
|
|
memory: 2g # Increase for heavy usage
|
|
|
|
|
cpus: '4' # More CPUs for concurrent users
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Nextcloud PHP Memory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default: 512M
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Increase in `defaults/main.yml`:
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
|
nextcloud_php_memory_limit: "1G"
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Redis Memory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Redis uses system memory dynamically. Monitor with:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
docker exec nextcloud-redis redis-cli INFO memory
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
