Collabora provide native Linux packages in deb and rpm formats. For the deb format 3 platforms are supported: amd64, ppc64, and arm64. For the rpm format only amd64 is supported.
1. Import the signing key
CODE packages are digitally signed by Collabora Productivity Ltd. First step is to import the signing key.
On deb based distributions use the following command:
cd /usr/share/keyrings sudo wget https://collaboraoffice.com/downloads/gpg/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
On rpm based distributions use the following command:
wget https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-centos7/repodata/repomd.xml.key && sudo rpm --import repomd.xml.key
2. Add CODE package repositories
On deb based distributions create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/collaboraonline.sources with the following contents:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-deb Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
On rpm based distributions use the following commands:
RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc.:
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-rpm
SUSE:
sudo zypper ar 'https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-rpm' 'CODE' sudo zypper mr -r 'CODE' # enable auto refresh
3. Install packages
On deb based distributions use the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install coolwsd code-brand
On RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc. use the following command:
sudo yum install coolwsd CODE-brand
On SUSE, use the following command:
sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper in coolwsd CODE-brand
This is the minimal installation, without localizations. For full installation install ‘collaboraoffice*’ packages.
4. Configuration
Edit /etc/coolwsd/coolwsd.xml. Collabora Online (coolwsd) service runs via systemd. After editing the configuration file, you have to restart the service:
sudo systemctl restart coolwsd
Collabora Online logs into systemd journal by default. You can check the log with:
sudo journalctl -u coolwsd
The default configuration is looking for an SSL certificate and key, which are not present, so probably it’s the best to disable SSL, and optionally enable SSL termination, then set up the reverse proxy.
