Ah, so Collabora is the backend and there has to be a frontend? That was not clear to me. Is there a common frontend? I should add, I am specifically trying to avoid using NextCloud and OwnCloud.
The parent comment is correct. CODE is the server, you need the "Collabora Online app" for document editing. I'm not aware if there are alternatives to the ownCloud / Nextcloud apps.
Moodle can also use collabora.
Hate to say it, but I cannot find an alternate front end to it. There might be one, but documentation on it is pretty scarce, every tutorial I've ever seen has just told how to let nextcloud use it.
I don't know of another frontend. You might want to try only office instead.
