Run CODE from a docker container
Containers allow software packages to be managed securely in a separate software environment. The following basic steps assume that you already have docker installed. Find the documentation on the docker install for CentOs, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu (also as snap) systems on the support page of docker.com. The follow basic steps below will help you to run the latest Version of CODE (Collabora Online Developer Edition) in a Nextcloud or ownCloud instance.
Installing CODE with Nextcloud
Step1:
Find out the IP address of your computer. (e.g. xx.xx.xx.xx – one way is using the command ip addr show in a terminal)
Step 2:
Run Nextcloud from Docker:
$ sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 nextcloud
Step 3:
Type in your IP address (e.g. xx.xx.xx.xx) into your browser and choose your user name and password. This sets up the admin account on Nextcloud.
Step 4:

Step 6:
Set up the Collabora Online server in Nextcloud Settings Collabora Online to your IP (e.g. http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9980). Click “Apply” to save your settings
Congratulations! You can now run the latest snapshot of CODE by accessing any document file (text, spreadsheet or presentation) you upload to Nextcloud.
Installing CODE with ownCloud
Step1:
Find out the IP address of your computer. (e.g. xx.xx.xx.xx – One way to find it out is using the command ip addr show in a terminal)
Step 2:
Run ownCloud from Docker:
$ sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 owncloud
Step 3:
Type in your IP address (e.g. xx.xx.xx.xx) into your browser and choose your user name and password. This sets up the admin account on ownCloud.
Step 4:
In ownCloud go to Market and install Collabora Online app.
Step 5:
Now install CODE (Collabora Online Developer Edition) from Docker by running the following command in your terminal
$ docker run -t -d -p 9980:9980 -e "extra_params=--o:ssl.enable=false" collabora/code:4.2-snapshot
Step 6:
Point the Collabora Online server in the ownCloud settings for Collabora Online to your IP (e.g. http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9980). This option is located in the category “Additional” in the “Settings” panel which is accessible via the menu at the top right.
That’s it! In the upper left corner you will now find the option office to create new document files (text, spreadsheet or presentation). Click on any document file in your ownCloud to start editing in CODE!
Note!
- Do not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 instead of the IP address of your computer, because these addresses do not resolve from the containers.
- This service is meant for a quick look at the features. The online snapshot is not a stable release and it is by no means suitable for production!
