How do I install Collabora and Nextcloud Office on my Nethserver to be used in Nextcloud

Question 1: In the wiki I linked it mentions to have a virtual host. In my Nethserver I have the application webserver installed and I’ve added a virtualhost called myoffice.company.ca.

The virtualhost is not needed, please delete it. It’s created by nethserver-collabora.

Do I still need to run the following commands that the wiki mentions. These commands for me would then be:

config setprop coolwsd VirtualHost myoffice.company.ca
signal-event nethserver-collabora-update

Yes, it’s just to configure the FQDN you want to use for collabora.

Question 2: My Nethserver already has a wildcard cert installed for comany.ca. We use it for our ejabberd and our webtop mail server installed on Nethserver. Please confirm if there is anything more I need to do with my SSL cert then?

No, there’s nothing to do in your case. You’re using a wildcard cert so it should be valid for myoffice.company.ca.

Question 3: The wiki post mentions " Collabora Online will be automatically enabled in Nextcloud if the package nethserver-nextcloud is present when the virtual host is configured". In my Nextcloud I’ve installed the apps ‘Nextcloud Office’ and the ‘Collabora Online - Built-in CODE Server’. Do I still need to run the following commands?

yum install nethserver-nextcloud
signal-event nethserver-collabora-update

Please uninstall the Nextcloud app ‘Collabora Online - Built-in CODE Server’, it’s the Nextcloud built-in Collabora and it conflicts with nethserver-collabora.

The commands are just needed if you installed nethserver-collabora without Nextcloud. In this special case it’s important to reconfigure Collabora after the Nextcloud installation.

Question 4: In the wiki it mentions “Collabora Online comes from the CODE edition (Collabora Office development edition).” I can run this command to list the available packages but when I run this command I see a message that says 'Erro: No matching packages to list". Do I need to install these packages if I have the app ‘Collabora Online - Built-in CODE Server’ installed?

yum list available --disablerepo=* enablerepo=collaboraoffice

Yes, you need to install them but they will be installed with nethserver-collabora in any case. it’s also possible to enable the CODE repository so Collabora will be included in the Software Updates, see Collabora Online — NethServer 7 Final
And as already mentioned, you really need to uninstall the NC built-in code server as nethserver-collabora is intended to work with the “external” server.
