Hey everybody, first time post here.
Here’s a quick rundown of my setup. I’m running an ubuntu server with a Nextcloud/redis/maria db stack. I’ve enabled collabora online built in CODE server for my online nextcloud office. On my pixel i use the collabora app and my linux mint desktop I’m using either libre office or collabora office. I’m currently just a single user and I use a wireguard server on my router for remote access. I’m fine with not having live web based editing for now as I’m the only user. My syncs between my phone and my nextcloud server UI are flawless.
The PROBLEM I’m experiencing is on my desktop when I open say a .xls(using calc) or .docx(using writer), libre office or collabora opens them with a “.~lock.” When this is opened it wipes the data in the file and resyncs my nextcloud server UI and my phone nexctcloud app with the wiped version.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution??
I’ve also only recently been tinkering with servers and self hosted applications for about 5 months, so this is all new to me and I could easily be overlooking a few things.
Many thanks in advance
@cenzorrll@lemmy.ca So I finally had some time to dive back into this. Your comments on opening files directly from the /android/media folder on my phone seemed to fix the sync between my phone and laptop.
I had to get over the fact that now I don’t use the nextcloud app on my phone, but I found a way to have the Onlyoffice app link to the /Android/media/nextcloud files.
But yes, Im still finding I can’t use the server UI office as it messes up the syncs between either my phone or laptop.
Anyways just wanted to mention you helped me get the file syncing of nextcloud going! Thanks!
