So there was no demand to write documentation how to create packages, how to build a "product". On the other hand it is fully documented in the source code in README files how to build as a developer, if someone wanted to hack on the code. The docker/l10n-docker-nightly.sh is also quite self-explanatory.

Collabora published documentation for CODE, e.g.: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/apache-reverse-proxy/ https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/nginx-reverse-proxy/ But there are other good sources of information, too, from integrators. I even agree with Simon: deploying online is horribly hard. I've been > > I disagree. It's a myth. Yes, it can be hard, when firewalls, load balancers, 50000 users etc. are involved. It's the case when one needs professional support. But for the hobbyist, how hard is it to install CODE with a few clicks in Univention, or to follow my "5 minute" guides? https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/quick-tryout-owncloud-docker/ https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/quick-tryout-nextcloud-docker/ Regards, Andras
