Hello,
I want to install Collabora Online to use along with Nextcloud and I don't understand the technical reason that I would need Plesk Premium eMail to do so.
It's particularly strange as the Plesk Premium email apps would be the same as in Nextcloud...
How can I set Collabora Online without installing Plesk Premium email ?

Thanks

Perhaps not many people are concerned about this issue, but strangely, the two have been tied together. If one uses the Nextcloud Extension app, Nextcloud instances can be installed for multiple domains. Then the logical expansion is to utilise one of Nextcloud's key options, the MSWord compatibility, by installing Collabora Online and maybe, a Talk server.
Clearly this would be more efficient if the Collabora element could also be used as instances and presumably, is why the Collabora extension exists. But it makes no sense whatsoever to make it dependent on Plesk Premium Email when Plesk itself has an email server and Nextcloud itself is also able to use various options for email.
This is quite frustrating and forces one to go searching for all types of HowTo's which is not easy, bearing in mind that those instructional howtos do not usually take into account that Plesk does not set up its Apache & Nginx and their various directives in the default places. Perhaps if there is to be this insistence, then there should also be a Plesk-provided guide on to how to achieve this setup manually.

The guide could show how to set up the domain for coolwsd, which I'm told needs an Apache site setting but does not serve a website.
Another nice would be short notes on how to install a Turn/Stun on a Plesk server.

If there is such a document/howto, I would be grateful to have it linked here and generally made easier to find.

Thanks.
