Feature request: adding support for document server inside the helm chart

[DarkOnion0]

It would be cool if the helm chart can support the deployment and the configuration of a document server (Collabora or OnlyOffice) without needing to make a separate deployment.

A simple integration could be to deploy the document server in the same pod as the Nextcloud instance to allow communication over localhost, thus the new feature should be easy to integrate with the existing chart.

Would be very nice

Agreed - this would be really helpful. I'm trying to implement within a fork, but unfortunately I am new to both nextcloud and collabora, so it is proving fairly painful.

I think if this was to be added, it would make the most sense to add it as a subchart that can be optionally enabled.

Looks like Collabora has a helm chart here:
https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/tree/master/kubernetes/helm/collabora-online
And docs here:
https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/installation/Kubernetes.html

And OnlyOffice has a helm chart here:
https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Kubernetes-Docs

@tvories, @provokateurin what do you think of this feature?

[provokateurin]

Yeah let's use what is already out there. Would be great to validate that it works with a new CI test.
What I'm not sure about is the level of auto configuration we can provide so that Nextcloud and Collabora Online/OnlyOffice talk to each other automatically.

Agree, I have no idea on this at all. I haven't actually used these together at all. So, let's start by splitting this into two issues:

• One for the work that needs to be done for Collabora: Feature: Add Collabora as a subchart #611
• and another one for OnlyOffice: Feature: Add OnlyOffice as a subchart #610

As for this issue, we could close it with the answer of yes, this sounds like a great idea :) We just need to actually do the work in a compartmentalized fashion.

I'll close this, more specific discussions can happen in the respective issues.
