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


I am seeing an issue with nextcloud not syncing a file within the folder that should automatically two-way sync. I have found that the file needs to be uploaded to nextcloud in order for syncing to happen, but once it is uploaded, it syncs normally when two way sync is enabled. I don’t think that has anything to do with you’re issues, but it’s food for thought.
