richdocuments VS onedrive

You should be able to do this with nextcloud Office: https://nextcloud.com/collaboraonline/ It’s basically like google docs, so med students should be pretty familiar with the look and feel.

I also looked at the documentation here https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments which has a section for Federated editing. It tells me that I need to update a tag called "frame_ancestors" but when I do and push the new coolwsd.xml file to the docker image, it attempts to restart the service and then fails to ever start it again, but then I'm not sure if that will really fix the problem or not.

Sorry I don't have an answer, but I'm curious how you installed nextcloud office 5? I've tried to research this on several occasions and from what I've read it sounded like "nextcloud office" is just collabora online but rebranded somehow, and I couldn't find instructions on how to install anything other than collabora. The nextcloud/office repo has a link named "Nextcloud office" in the readme that directs to nextcloud/richdocuments repo, where the readme describes it as an app to integrate collabora online, and the about describes it as "collabora online for nextcloud" with a link to nextcloud.com/collaboraonline

Collabora seems to be a leading competitor for real-time document editing, you can see it bundled into Nextcloud Hub here: https://nextcloud.com/collaboraonline/

It can be self hosted as well :D

I solved it. It turns out https://nextcloud.com/collaboraonline/ left an outdated guide for nginx reverse proxy as they changed lool to cool (see my post i have updated it with solved link)

A self-hosted solution like, say, Nextcloud Collabora, or some FOSS groupware software, unless you also hate paying for hosting and maintaining a server.

here's a hunch assuming you tried the below client:

https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/1a88d33be3e2c6747...

try changing that to e.g. the android (or windows) onedrive client's id.

this trick works for exchange (allowing third-party mail clients).

Syncthing might fit the bill, or just keep using Onedrive: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive

I first started with this onedrive client https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive (+ the GUI package) and got it working fine, but it seems like a sync all-or-nothing deal.

You could check out https://abraunegg.github.io/, I use that for syncing with my OneDrive.

* Via the OneDrive Client for Linux - https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive - this 'syncs' your data, bi-directional operation, open source and free. Supports Personal, Business & SharePoint account types and Shared Folders. A Docker container is also available for all major architectures (x86_64, ARMHF, AARCH64). If you need a GUI for onedrive client management use: https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI

I have used an app called, appropriately, onedrive. The git repository and info is here. Once you connect to OneDrive (not hard to do at all) you can do anything in the folder and when you start the command from the CLI it will sync the files to your account and update the files on the server. There are a few custom options you can set to streamline. I used it for a long time syncing with Windows and it works great.

The client itself is 100% stable and functional enough for your use-case. To read up on the client, please visit: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive
