kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 dd955a71a6 style(markdown): pin list markers to dash and convert every list
The 16.0.0 entry pkgmgr wrote on top of CHANGELOG.md uses "-" bullets
while every older entry uses "*". MD004's default "consistent" style takes
the marker of the first list in a file, so lint-markdown reported 400
MD004 findings in CHANGELOG.md and the pre-push gate refused the release
push.

MD004 is now pinned to "dash", the marker pkgmgr and the changelog skill
write, and make autoformat (markdownlint-cli2 --fix) converted the lists
of the 72 files that still used "*". Only list markers changed.

Collabora

Description

This Ansible role deploys Collabora Online (CODE) in Docker to enable real-time, in-browser document editing for Nextcloud. It automates the setup of the Collabora CODE container, NGINX reverse proxy configuration, network isolation via Docker networks, and environment variable management.

Overview

  • Dockerized Collabora CODE: Uses the official collabora/code image.
  • NGINX Reverse Proxy: Configures a public-facing proxy with TLS termination and WebSocket support for /cool/ paths.
  • Docker Network Management: Creates an isolated /28 subnet for Collabora and connects containers securely.
  • Environment Configuration: Generates a .env file that names the Nextcloud origin as the only allowed WOPI host (aliasgroup1) and passes the extra parameters to coolwsd.

Cosmos

The diagram places Collabora in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Features

  • Automatic creation of a dedicated Docker network for Collabora.
  • Proxy configuration template for NGINX with long timeouts and WebSocket upgrades.
  • Customizable domain names and ports via Ansible variables.
  • Support for SSL termination at the proxy level.
  • Integration hooks to restart NGINX and recreate Docker Compose stacks on changes.

Quick Setup

Development

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy Collabora onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=web-svc-collabora full_cycle=false

Production

Run the published image to provision the inventory and deploy Collabora to a managed server (the mounted volume persists the inventory):

APP=web-svc-collabora
HOST=<your-server>
DOMAIN=<your-domain>
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"

docker run --rm -it \
  -v "$PWD/inventories:/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories" \
  -e APP="$APP" -e HOST="$HOST" -e DOMAIN="$DOMAIN" -e TLS_MODE="$TLS_MODE" -e SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY" \
  ghcr.io/infinito-nexus/core/debian bash -c '
    INVENTORY=/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/production
    infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
      --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
      --host "$HOST" \
      --include "$APP" \
      --vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}" &&
    infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
      --password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
      --diff -vv'
