Description
Main goal: Run DocumentServer and Nextcloud on same machine
Main problem: DocumentServer uses ports 80 and 443, which are already in use by nextcloud
Sub problems:
- There are multiple locations of configuration files for DocumentServer and no documentation which ones are actually used. Eg.
/etc/onlyoffice/documentserver,/etc/nginx/conf.d,/etc/nginx/includes/ - The docker image is not a solution as it requires manually copying ssl certificates on a regular basis (let's encrypt requires frequent renewal)
- Missing documentation on how to modify which config file such that non-default ports for http and https are used (nextcloud requires ssl)

Research direction
Start by tracing which files under /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver, /etc/nginx/conf.d, and /etc/nginx/includes are used for the DocumentServer configuration. Document the relevant configuration locations and how to run HTTP and HTTPS on non-default ports alongside Nextcloud, including the certificate setup; verify the instructions against the stated same-machine scenario.
