Install and Configure Nextcloud Office

Open zuron7 opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Problem

Restrict Usage only to your Nextcloud Instance

  • Currently anyone can use your collabora server as there is no whitelisted/allowed domains or users.

Suggested Fix

Follow this guide: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/linux-packages/

follwed by this guide; https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/installation/Configuration.html

Just putting these two links at the end of the documentation should help the end user configure the document better.

It seems this change is not required. I just looked at the file in /etc/coolwsd/coolwsd.xml which says this:

From the mode first, I am assuming that the first host that connects will be the only host that will be allowed to connect in the future. It is not inherently clear if the first gets reset every day or another period of time (Reference Documentation: https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/installation/Configuration.html#multihost-configuration

A further check of the WOPI standard states that "first" means the first server that connects will be served till it disconnects. After that any server is free to connect to the WOPI Server.

Based on the above, the tutorial does need to be changed in order to provide information on securing the server for your use only.
