`collabora__coolwsd_allowed_languages__host_var` / `collabora__coolwsd_allowed_languages__group_var`	List of dictionaries containing the supported languages of Writing Aids (spell checker, grammar checker, thesaurus, hyphenation) on this instance. Allowing too many has negative effect on startup performance. Subkeys: `name`: Mandatory, string. Name of the language. `state`: Optional, string. Either `present` or `absent`. Defaults to `present`.	`'de_AT'` `'de_CH'` `'de_DE'` `'en_AU'` `'en_CA'` `'en_GB'` `'en_US'` `'fr'` `'it_IT'`
`collabora__coolwsd_deepl_api_url`	URL for the deepl API. Only works if `collabora__coolwsd_deepl_enabled` is true.	`'https://api-free.deepl.com/v2/translate'`
`collabora__coolwsd_deepl_auth_key`	Auth Key generated by your deepl account. Only works if `collabora__coolwsd_deepl_enabled` is true.	`''`
`collabora__coolwsd_deepl_enabled`	If true, shows translate option as a menu entry in the compact view and as an icon in the tabbed view.	`false`
`collabora__coolwsd_experimental_features`	If experimental features should be enabled or not.	`false`
`collabora__coolwsd_logging_file_enable`	If coolwsd should write to a logfile or not. Possible options:	`true`
`collabora__coolwsd_lok_allow`	Allowed hosts as an external data source inside edited files. All allowed post_allow.host and storage.wopi entries are also considered to be allowed as a data source. Used for example in: PostMessage Action_InsertGraphics, =WEBSERVICE() function, external reference in the cell.	`[]`
`collabora__coolwsd_out_of_focus_timeout_secs`	The maximum number of seconds before dimming and stopping updates when the browser tab is no longer in focus.	`120`
`collabora__coolwsd_post_allow`	List of client IP addresses to allow for POST(REST).	`[]`
`collabora__coolwsd_ssl_enable`	Controls whether SSL encryption between coolwsd and the network is enabled (do not disable for production deployment). Possible options:	`false`
`collabora__coolwsd_ssl_settings_ca_file_path`	Path to the ca file. Set this when coolwsd is SSL-terminating.	`'/etc/coolwsd/ca-chain.cert.pem'`
`collabora__coolwsd_ssl_settings_cert_file_path`	Path to the cert file. Set this when coolwsd is SSL-terminating.	`'/etc/coolwsd/cert.pem'`
`collabora__coolwsd_ssl_settings_key_file_path`	Path to the key file. Set this when coolwsd is SSL-terminating.	`'/etc/coolwsd/key.pem'`
`collabora__coolwsd_ssl_termination`	Enable if coolwsd is behind a SSL-terminating proxy and therefore should act as if its using https but actually receives http. Possible options:	`true`
`collabora__coolwsd_storage_wopi__host_var` / `collabora__coolwsd_storage_wopi__group_var`	List of dictionaries containing regex pattern of hostname to allow access to the backend storage. Ususally the hostname application that uses Collabora CODE, for example Nextcloud. Subkeys: `name`: Mandatory, string. Regex pattern. `state`: Optional, string. Either `present` or `absent`. Defaults to `present`.	`[]`
`collabora__language_packages__host_var` / `collabora__language_packages__group_var`	A list of dictionaries containing additional packages to be installed for language support (spell checking, thesaurus, etc). Subkeys: `name`: Mandatory, string. Name of the package `state`: Optional, string. Either `present` or `absent`. Defaults to `present`.	`dict`, `mythes` and `hunspell` for de, en, fr, it
`collabora__logrotate`	Number. Log files are rotated `count` days before being removed or mailed to the address specified in a `logrotate` mail directive. If count is `0`, old versions are removed rather than rotated. If count is `-1`, old logs are not removed at all (use with caution, may waste performance and disk space).	`{{ logrotate__rotate \| d(14) }}`
`collabora__service_enabled`	Enables or disables the coolwsd service, analogous to `systemctl enable/disable --now`. Possible options:	`true`
`collabora__use_code`	Use Collabora CODE Edition instead of Collabora Enterprise Edition.	`true`
