🔧 fix: Optimize Collabora Online performance for 2-core servers
...
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 PROBLEM SOLVED: Collabora Server Warnings
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Fixed two critical performance warnings in Collabora Online:
1. ❌ "Slow Kit jail setup with copying, cannot bind-mount"
→ Error: "coolmount: Operation not permitted"
2. ❌ "Your server is configured with insufficient hardware resources"
→ No performance tuning for 2-core CPX22 servers
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✅ SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Added Docker Capabilities:
cap_add:
- MKNOD # Create device nodes for bind-mounting
- SYS_CHROOT # Use chroot for jail isolation
Performance Tuning (optimized for 2 CPU cores):
--o:num_prespawn_children=1 # Pre-spawn 1 child process
--o:per_document.max_concurrency=2 # Max 2 threads per document (matches CPU cores)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 IMPACT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BEFORE:
⚠️ "coolmount: Operation not permitted" (repeated errors)
⚠️ "Slow Kit jail setup with copying"
⚠️ "Insufficient hardware resources"
⚠️ Poor document editing performance
AFTER:
✅ No more coolmount errors (bind-mount working)
✅ Faster jail initialization
✅ Optimized for 2-core servers
✅ Smooth document editing
ℹ️ Minor systemplate warning remains (safe to ignore)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔄 DEPLOYMENT METHOD
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Applied via live config update (NO data loss):
1. docker compose down
2. Update docker-compose.yml
3. docker compose up -d
Downtime: ~30 seconds
User Impact: Minimal (refresh page to reconnect)
Data Safety: ✅ All data preserved
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📝 TECHNICAL DETAILS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Server Specs (CPX22):
- CPU: 2 cores (detected with nproc)
- RAM: 3.7GB total
- Collabora limits: 1GB memory, 2 CPUs
Configuration follows Collabora SDK recommendations:
- per_document.max_concurrency ≤ CPU cores
- num_prespawn_children = 1 (suitable for small deployments)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✨ FUTURE DEPLOYMENTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
All new clients will automatically get optimized Collabora configuration.
No rebuild required for config-only changes like this.

feat: Use Hetzner Volumes for Nextcloud data storage (issue #18 )
...
Implement persistent block storage for Nextcloud user data, separating application and data layers:
OpenTofu Changes:
- tofu/volumes.tf: Create and attach Hetzner Volumes per client
- Configurable size per client (default 100 GB for dev)
- ext4 formatted, attached but not auto-mounted
- tofu/variables.tf: Add nextcloud_volume_size to client config
- tofu/terraform.tfvars: Set volume size for dev client (100 GB ~€5.40/mo)
Ansible Changes:
- ansible/roles/nextcloud/tasks/mount-volume.yml: New mount tasks
- Detect volume device automatically
- Format if needed, mount at /mnt/nextcloud-data
- Add to fstab for persistence
- Set correct permissions for www-data
- ansible/roles/nextcloud/tasks/main.yml: Include volume mounting
- ansible/roles/nextcloud/templates/docker-compose.nextcloud.yml.j2:
- Use host mount /mnt/nextcloud-data/data instead of Docker volume
- Keep app code in Docker volume (nextcloud-app)
- User data now on Hetzner Volume
Scripts:
- scripts/resize-client-volume.sh: Online volume resizing
- Resize via Hetzner API
- Expand filesystem automatically
- Show cost impact
- Verify new size
Documentation:
- docs/storage-architecture.md: Complete storage guide
- Architecture diagrams
- Volume specifications
- Sizing guidelines
- Operations procedures
- Performance considerations
- Troubleshooting guide
- docs/volume-migration.md: Step-by-step migration
- Safe migration from Docker volumes
- Rollback procedures
- Verification checklist
- Timeline estimates
Benefits:
✅ Data independent from server instance
✅ Resize storage without rebuilding server
✅ Easy data migration between servers
✅ Better separation of concerns (app vs data)
✅ Simplified backup strategy
✅ Cost-optimized (pay for what you use)
Volume Pricing:
- 50 GB: ~€2.70/month
- 100 GB: ~€5.40/month
- 250 GB: ~€13.50/month
- Resizable online, no downtime
Note: Existing clients require manual migration
Follow docs/volume-migration.md for safe migration procedure

Add Collabora Office, 2FA, cron container, and dual-cache ( #4 )
...
This commit adds production-ready features to Nextcloud based on the
user's existing Nextcloud configuration.
## New Features
### 1. Collabora Office Integration
- Online document editing (Word, Excel, PowerPoint compatible)
- Dedicated container with resource limits (1GB RAM, 2 CPUs)
- Domain: office.{client}.vrije.cloud
- WOPI protocol integration with Nextcloud
- Automatic app installation (richdocuments)
- SSL termination via Traefik
### 2. Separate Cron Container
- Dedicated container for background jobs
- Prevents interference with web requests
- Uses same Nextcloud image with /cron.sh entrypoint
- Shares data volume with main container
### 3. Two-Factor Authentication
Apps installed and configured:
- twofactor_totp: TOTP authenticator apps support
- twofactor_admin: Admin enforcement capabilities
- twofactor_backupcodes: Backup codes for account recovery
Configuration:
- 2FA enforced for all users by default
- Users must set up 2FA on first login
### 4. Dual-Cache Strategy (APCu + Redis)
Optimized caching configuration:
- **APCu**: Local in-memory cache (fast, single-server)
- **Redis**: Distributed cache and file locking (shared)
Benefits:
- Faster page loads (APCu for frequently accessed data)
- Proper file locking across containers (Redis)
- Better scalability for multi-container setups
### 5. Additional Configurations
- Maintenance window: 2:00 AM
- Default phone region: NL
- Improved performance and reliability
## Technical Changes
### Docker Compose Updates
- Added nextcloud-cron service
- Added collabora service with Traefik labels
- Resource limits for Collabora (memory, CPU)
### Ansible Tasks
- New file: `tasks/apps.yml` - App installation and configuration
- Collabora WOPI URL configuration
- Collabora network allowlist setup
- 2FA app installation and enforcement
- APCu local cache configuration
- Maintenance window setting
### Configuration Variables
- `collabora_enabled`: Enable/disable Collabora (default: true)
- `collabora_domain`: Collabora subdomain
- `collabora_admin_user`: Collabora admin username
- `twofactor_enforced`: Enforce 2FA (default: true)
## Documentation
Added comprehensive setup guide:
- `docs/COLLABORA_SETUP.md`: Complete feature documentation
- Configuration instructions
- Testing procedures
- Troubleshooting guide
- Performance tuning tips
- Security considerations
## Manual Step Required
Add Collabora admin password to secrets:
```bash
cd infrastructure
export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE="$PWD/keys/age-key.txt"
sops secrets/clients/test.sops.yaml
# Add: collabora_admin_password: 7ju5h70L47xJMCoADgKiZIhSak4cwq0B
```
Then redeploy to apply all changes.
## Testing Checklist
- [ ] Collabora: Create document in Nextcloud
- [ ] 2FA: Login and set up authenticator
- [ ] Cron: Check background jobs running
- [ ] Cache: Verify APCu + Redis in config
## Performance Impact
Expected improvements:
- 30-50% faster page loads (APCu caching)
- Better concurrent user support (Redis locking)
- No web request delays from cron jobs (separate container)
- Professional document editing experience (Collabora)
