# nextcloud-collabora-nodered

Collabora / Nextcloud Office nodes for your **existing** `nextcloud-node-red` on port **1880**.

Does **not** create a new Node-RED container.

## Default: integrate (not sidecar)

**INSTALL_MODE=integrate** (default) patches and rebuilds the existing `nextcloud-node-red` on **:1880**.
No extra container, no port 1881. Sidecar only if you explicitly set `INSTALL_MODE=sidecar`.

## Quick install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://git.domain.name/your-user/nextcloud-collabora-nodered/raw/branch/main/bootstrap-install.sh | sudo -u ncdeploy bash
```

That script:
1. Clones this repo
2. Copies nodes into your `nextcloud-node-red` tree
3. Patches `Dockerfile` + `entrypoint.sh`
4. Rebuilds the **same** image and restarts the container
5. Connects Node-RED to Docker `bridge` so CODE is reachable

## Update nodes

```bash
cd /path/to/nextcloud-collabora-nodered
git pull
./install.sh
```

## Manual integration

```bash
NODERED_DIR=/path/to/nextcloud-node-red ./scripts/integrate-into-nodered.sh
```

## Sidecar :1881 (not recommended)

Only if you explicitly want a separate instance:

```bash
INSTALL_MODE=sidecar docker compose --profile sidecar up -d --build
```

## Nodes

Palette: **nextcloud collabora** — six nodes in the same purple, all wired to **nc-collab-config** (gear icon, not a flow node).

`nc-collab-config` · `collabora-bridge` · `nc-office` · `collabora-convert` · `collabora-extract` · `collabora-transform` · `collabora-wopi`

## Install on any Nextcloud VM

Copy `.env.example` → `.env` and set at least `NEXTCLOUD_URL`. The rest is auto-detected:

| Variable | Default / auto |
|----------|----------------|
| `NODERED_DIR` | compose label or common paths |
| `CODE_CONTAINER` | `code` |
| `COLLABORA_IP` | bridge IP via `docker inspect` |
| `NODERED_CONTAINER` | `nextcloud-node-red` |
| `NODERED_PORT` | `1880` |

```bash
cp .env.example .env   # set NEXTCLOUD_URL for your VM
git pull
./install.sh           # needs root/sudo for docker compose
```
