+# 🌐 Running OpenCloud Behind an External Proxy (Nginx + Certbot Setup)
+
+This guide walks you through setting up OpenCloud behind an external **Nginx reverse proxy** with **Let's Encrypt certificates** using `certbot certonly --webroot`.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Requirements
+
+- A **public server** with a static IP
+- Proper **DNS records** for your domain:
+  - `cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN`
+  - `collabora.YOUR.DOMAIN`
+  - `wopiserver.YOUR.DOMAIN`
+- Installed software:
+  - [Docker & Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
+  - `nginx`
+  - `certbot`
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Connect to Your Server
+
+Log into your server via SSH:
+
+```bash
+ssh root@YOUR.SERVER.IP
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Install Docker
+
+Update your system and install Docker.
+
+First, perform an update and upgrade:
+
+```bash
+apt update && apt upgrade -y
+```
+
+Install Docker following the [official Docker guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository)
+
+Once Docker is installed, enable and start the service:
+
+```bash
+systemctl enable docker && systemctl start docker
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Clone the OpenCloud Repository
+
+Download the necessary configuration files:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud.git
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Install Nginx & Certbot
+
+Now install Nginx & Certbot
+
+## 📁 Step 5: Create a Webroot Directory for Certbot
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /var/www/certbot
+sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/certbot
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Step 6: Temporary Nginx Config for HTTP Challenge
+
+Create a temporary config to allow HTTP validation:
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/certbot-challenge
+```
+
+Paste the following config:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN collabora.YOUR.DOMAIN wopiserver.YOUR.DOMAIN;
+
+    root /var/www/certbot;
+
+    location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
+        allow all;
+        try_files $uri =404;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Enable and reload Nginx:
+
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/certbot-challenge /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Step 7: Obtain SSL Certificates
+
+Use `certbot` to get your TLS certificates:
+
+```bash
+sudo certbot certonly --webroot \
+  -w /var/www/certbot \
+  -d cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN \
+  -d collabora.YOUR.DOMAIN \
+  -d wopiserver.YOUR.DOMAIN \
+  --email your@email.com \
+  --agree-tos \
+  --no-eff-email
+```
+
+Your certificates will be saved under:
+
+- `/etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/fullchain.pem`
+- `/etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/privkey.pem`
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Step 8: Configure and start OpenCloud
+
+Clone the OpenCloud Compose repo and set your environment:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud-compose.git
+cd opencloud-compose
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env
+```
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```env
+# INSECURE=true
+
+COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:weboffice/collabora.yml:external-proxy/opencloud.yml:external-proxy/collabora.yml
+
+OC_DOMAIN=cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN
+
+INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=YOUR.SECRET.PASSWORD
+
+COLLABORA_DOMAIN=collabora.YOUR.DOMAIN
+
+WOPISERVER_DOMAIN=wopiserver.YOUR.DOMAIN
+```
+
+The initial Admin password is mandatory for security reasons.
+
+Start the docker compose setup
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Step 9: Set Up the Final Nginx Reverse Proxy
+
+### Remove the temporary certbot config
+
+```bash
+sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/certbot-challenge
+```
+
+### Create a new proxy config
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/opencloud
+```
+
+Paste the following configuration:
+
+```nginx
+# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN collabora.YOUR.DOMAIN wopiserver.YOUR.DOMAIN;
+
+    location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
+        root /var/www/certbot;
+    }
+
+    location / {
+        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
+    }
+}
+
+# OpenCloud
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/privkey.pem;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9200;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+
+# Collabora
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name collabora.YOUR.DOMAIN;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/privkey.pem;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9980;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    }
+
+    location ~ ^/cool/(.*)/ws$ {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9980;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    }
+}
+
+# WOPI Server
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name wopiserver.YOUR.DOMAIN;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/cloud.YOUR.DOMAIN/privkey.pem;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9300;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Thanks to [mitexleo](https://github.com/mitexleo) for the Ngnix example configuration on GitHub
+
+Enable and reload Nginx:
+
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/opencloud /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔁 Step 10: Test Certificate Renewal
+
+```bash
+sudo certbot renew --dry-run
+```
+
+---
+
+Your OpenCloud instance is now running securely behind a fully configured external Nginx reverse proxy with HTTPS.
