Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 007963044b refactor: centralize web front proxy and internal nginx configs
Unify reverse proxy handling across apps via sys-stk-front-proxy and cleanly separate internal docker nginx configs from external vhosts.

Changes:

- docker-compose: use with_first_found for optional env and docker-compose.override files so roles can provide either a template or a static file without noisy 'Could not find or access' failures.

- sys-stk-front-proxy: remove front_proxy_domain_conf_src and switch nginx vhost rendering to with_first_found over app-specific proxy.conf.j2 and the generic roles/sys-svc-proxy vhost flavour; keep health-check and handler logic unchanged.

- web-app-nextcloud: migrate to sys-stk-full-stateful (front proxy + DB + docker), move internal nginx config to docker.conf.j2 under the volume path, and rename host.conf.j2 to proxy.conf.j2 for the external vhost.

- web-app-magento: rename nginx.conf.j2 to docker.conf.j2 and update the runtime template task accordingly to make the intent (internal nginx) explicit.

- web-app-matrix: rename nginx.conf.j2 to synapse.conf.j2 and adjust the webserver task to use the new template name for the synapse vhost.

- web-app-bridgy-fed & web-app-flowise: pass domain and http_port explicitly when including sys-stk-front-proxy so the front stack has all required context.

- web-svc-cdn/file/html: replace direct sys-stk-front-base + sys-util-csp-cert + nginx.conf.j2 handling with sys-stk-front-proxy and proxy.conf.j2, relying on the shared front-stack for TLS/CSP/vHost wiring.

- web-svc-collabora: drop the direct nginx.conf.j2 vhost generation and rename it to proxy.conf.j2 so it is picked up by sys-stk-front-proxy like other services.

- web-opt-rdr-domains: rename redirect.domain.nginx.conf.j2 to redirect-domain.conf.j2 and adjust the task for clearer and more consistent naming.

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 with domain, credentials, and extra parameters for Collabora's WOPI server.

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.

Documentation

See the roles README.md, task files, and Jinja2 templates in the roles/web-svc-collabora directory for usage examples and variable definitions.
