Collabora provide native Linux packages for selected Linux distributions: Debian 9, Debian 10, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, CentOS 7 (at least 7.2), CentOS 8, SLE 15.x and openSUSE Leap 15.x.
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 (Debian, Ubuntu), use the following command:
cd /usr/share/keyrings sudo wget https://collaboraoffice.com/downloads/gpg/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
On rpm based distributions (CentOS, openSUSE), 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 (Debian, Ubuntu), create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/collaboraonline.sources with the following contents:
Debian 9:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-debian9 Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
Debian 10:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-debian10 Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
Debian 11:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-debian11 Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
Ubuntu 16.04:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
Ubuntu 18.04:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-ubuntu1804 Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
Ubuntu 20.04:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-ubuntu2004 Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
Ubuntu 22.04:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-ubuntu2204 Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
ARM64 – Ubuntu 18.04:
Types: deb URIs: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-arm64-ubuntu1804 Suites: ./ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
On rpm based distros (CentOS, RHEL, SUSE), use the following commands:
CentOS 7:
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-centos7
CentOS 8:
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-centos8
openSUSE Leap 15.x (and SLE 15):
sudo zypper ar 'https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE-opensuse15' 'CODE' sudo zypper mr -r 'CODE' # enable auto refresh
3. Install packages
On deb based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu), use the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install coolwsd code-brand
On CentOS, use the following command:
sudo yum install coolwsd CODE-brand
On openSUSE Leap, 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.
