Hei,

Is there no update of this script to work with Fedora 31 and Nextcloud 17?

Best regards,
Woti

That should be easy to update. Building a test server now.

Woti

This could be nice

I've got a data center move today, but will get this completed soon.

Woti

Would it be possible to include Collabora Online Office as selectable option?

Some thoughts about the To-Do list at the end of the script?

No, because it would require something completely different. Collabora gets installed on a second server, at least as we deploy it. For us, for a production deployment, it requires three VMs. One Nginx in front, then one NextCloud and one Collabora behind. So in theory a script for each, but they would be three independent scripts.

It's actually so unrelated that we have a different engineer handle Collabora than the one that does NextCloud!

Is Collabora (isn't that LibreOffice?) better than OnlyOffice for this?

Woti

Thanks for the reply. I just thought, maybe it would be easier to setup.

I asked in Nextcloud Facebook group which one is better integrated in the mobile app to edit documents on mobile devices too. The most ones recommendet Collabora.

Google searches gave me a lot of Ubuntu / Debian baset howtos which drove me crazy to realize it in Fedora.

Depends on which product you want to use. If you are working with MS Office files, generally OnlyOffice is better. If you are working with LibreOffice Open Document files natively, then Collabora is probably better. Although at this point, I suspect that the online editing experience trumps any amount of file compatibility concerns.

This is true for me. I've setup a client with OnlyOffice recently. But I am curious what is the better choice for this simply in online editing. Ignoring compatibility, as that is a different consideration.

Collabora / CODE for online editing is rough. It's far from smooth. It works, for sure. But it isn't smooth like Zoho or Google Docs are.

I've got an OnlyOffice collaboration server running with NextCloud. It's very smooth... except you can't undo changes while in collaboration mode.

Is there anything new with updating the script?
