Collabora 21.11 Update

[mrmarkuz]

New features

With Collabora 21.11 the service loolwsd was renamed to coolwsd and the config tool loolconfig was renamed to coolconfig.

Proposed solution

Add service and config tool name changes to make future updates of Collabora CODE 21.11+ work.

• Check if documents are editable
• The old config db entry loolwsd shouldn't exist anymore

[stephdl]

• test case 1: install

complete victory the collabora is online

• test case 2 : upgrade

It fails with an error when I try to edit the document or create another one. I got the error

it seems when you restart rh-php73-php-fpm it solves the issue, maybe we can restart php-scl or simply reload ?

[stephdl]

a systemctl reload rh-php73-php-fpm is enough

@mrmarkuz we have to handle the case where maybe rh-php73-php-fpm is not installed on the server

[stephdl]

can you confirm this behaviour @mrmarkuz ?

[mrmarkuz]

Yes, it happened in 2 of 3 tests, reloading php-fpm solved it. Maybe it's just some caching issue but hard to find out and maybe browser-specific.

I think we can use

systemctl is-active --quiet rh-php73-php-fpm && systemctl reload rh-php73-php-fpm

in the nethserver-collabora-conf action.

[stephdl]

I think about a test like this in an action, yours is shorter than mine :D

What about if the nextcloud and the collabora are remote, it seems there is also an issue, I must admit I did not test it

[mrmarkuz]

I found it here. I also thought about checking if a file of php73-fpm exists.

Do you think we need a seperate action?

I think the issue with remote collabora was just a missing db entry but I'm going to test it later today and report...and open a pr asap.

[stephdl]

Do you think we need a seperate action?

since we need to test if the service exists (else the run-level action could fail) I think we need an action launched at the end, maybe we will remove it in the future

[mrmarkuz]

I confirm the issue exists with remote collabora too.
In a test with a NethServer Nextcloud VM connecting to a remote NethSever Collabora, I needed to restart php-fpm on the Nextcloud VM after the update of the Collabora VM.
I think we need to add a line to the documentation about remote Collabora.
For a NethServer Nextcloud a signal-event nethserver-nextcloud-update is enough as it restarts rh-php73-php-fpm but for other OS it depends on the PHP configuration.

[stephdl]

yes we cannot do something remotely for nown a documentation is probably needed, btw remote installation are maybe not so recurrent

QA

• test upgrade with collabora and nextcloud on the same server

success, after the upgrade collabora 21 is up

For the code it is ok now we have to make a documentation note if nextcloud is remote that you might have to reboot the remote host....or does it worth it ?

[mrmarkuz]

We need to change from loolwsd to coolwsd in the docs anyway so I'm going to add the line about rebooting remote Nextcloud too.
