API

  • Use EnableOwnerTermination property for ownertermination
    Document owners (sessions with their WOPI UserId = OwnerId) can close the document (for all sessions), if EnableOwnerTermination property  is specified. Note that EnableOwnerTermination is an extension to WOPI, and not part of original WOPI standard.
  • DisablePrint, DisableExport, and DisableCopy WOPI properties
    These boolean properties, when passed with CheckFileInfo, disable printing, download and copy to/from clipboard respectively.

Deployment

Important change in Apache2 reverse proxy config:

We had previously:

AllowEncodedSlashes On

Now we need:

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

We had previously:

ProxyPassMatch "/lool/(.*)/ws$" wss://127.0.0.1:9980/lool/$1/ws

Now we need:

ProxyPassMatch "/lool/(.*)/ws$" wss://127.0.0.1:9980/lool/$1/ws nocanon

How to update

Simply update with:

docker pull collabora/code

  1. Is it expected behavior that upgrading and changing the mentioned config settings breaks everything? I have got a running setup, and pulling the new image, starting it with the same command (adding username and password) and changing the apache2 config breaks the functionality completely. I always get wrong WOPI.

  2. Im having issues accessing the Collabora documents with Nextcloud using the nginx webserver configuration you provided at http://www.collaboraoffice/code I read that the Apache configuration made the following two important changes in the 2.0 update which would be needed to be equivalently set in the nginx configuration:

    AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
    ProxyPassMatch “/lool/(.*)/ws$” wss://127.0.0.1:9980/lool/$1/ws nocanon

    For now I have the following error message anytime I open a collabora document within NextCloud. “Well, this is embarrassing, we cannot connect to your document. Please try again.”

    If you know how to fix, please make a reply and I’ll post to others on the nextcloud help forum.
