After updating from 5.0.7 and services restart or system reboot nginx fails with:

nginx: [emerg] open() "/etc/nginx/includes/onlyoffice-http.conf" failed (2: No such file or directory) in /etc/nginx/conf.d/onlyoffice-documentserver.conf:9

Clean install with 5.1.0 works ok. /var/log/messages shows:

Finally services are able to start and working correctly. So some of those errors/warnings are benign.

Thanks for testing!

I had to reinstall the document server to get the missing config file (/etc/nginx/includes/onlyoffice-http.conf) again:

https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=onlyoffice#something_s_not_working

I don’t know why this .conf file is missing sometimes? Maybe it’s a problem with the onlyoffice-documentserver.rpm? I think about templating the .conf file but if something changes in next update we have similar problem again.

Yes, on update the rpm deletes the file.

As you said, reinstallation brings files back. And signal-event nethserver-onlyoffice-update makes it work again (on one occassion).

onlyoffice-documentserver reinstallation (relevant actions):

new symbolic_link : /etc/nginx/includes/onlyoffice-documentserver-common.conf
new symbolic_link : /etc/nginx/includes/onlyoffice-documentserver-docservice.conf
new symbolic_link : /etc/nginx/includes/onlyoffice-documentserver-spellchecker.conf

There’s a new onlyoffice-documentserver update to version 5.1.1:

yum install https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/releases/download/ONLYOFFICE-DocumentServer-5.1.1/onlyoffice-documentserver.x86_64.rpm

This new nethserver-onlyoffice package should work with the new documentserver version, if it’s tested I upload it to the repo:

yum install https://smart-ict.services/mirror/devtest/nethserver-onlyoffice-0.0.1-3.ns7.noarch.rpm

An install howto can be found here, just use the package above instead of the repo package.

Update from onlyoffice-documentserver 5.1.0 to 5.1.1 with the new nethserver-onlyoffice package works.
The new nethserver-onlyoffice package has the same version number as the latter (forced installation with yum reinstall).

Thanks for testing!

I really have to improve my versioning system for testing :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes but I don’t see a way for solving it except maybe repack the documentserver in some way.

This is strange because these errors were fixed and do not occur on a fresh install. They were because of a wrong comment interpreted as template and /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/default.json was templated in the old version. Maybe it’s just because of the reinstall.

You’re right, doesn’t happen on a clean install.

Don’t know which is the best option (the one with lesser hassle for both you, as maintainer, and users). stephdl or dev_team might be able to give some advice.
Hosting the package on your repo you’ll have more control on updates and possible troubles at the cost of extra bandwidth usage. Using nethserver-onlyoffice to download external package (i.e. as some flash player packages did IIRC) you have control on the order of installation and signaling events without affecting your bandwidth, but don’t know if it’s considered a good practice or accepted by the terms of use of external package.

I found out that an update from nethserver-onlyoffice 0.0.1-2 to 0.0.1-3 only works with documentserver 5.0.7 because of the templated /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/default.json which only fits to the old version. I try to find a solution but if it’s too much effort I’d release a “hard” update, where one has to manually reinstall the documentserver. Future updates will work smoothly as default.json is not templated anymore.

This is a good option. This way we can test new docserver rpms with direct install and if they work we update the repo.

For the future repackaging or integrating like you described are the way to go but I have to learn first…

Released the update to fix future documentserver update problems.

is this the better method of installing than

than this method.

The module is the better method as it eases installation a lot and preconfigures onlyoffice.

Thank you,

and whats the difference between the quick install, and the installation in the documentation.

do I have to run write both, or only chose one

Choose one. First we make a howto and then we make the module out of the howto. So the module integrates the howto.

when I install the module with the instruction, will it install on sub.doamin.tld/onlyoffice or do I need to point a subdomain like https://onlyoffice.domin.tld

The module integrates itself in nextcloud so it depends on nextcloud.

does that mean I do not have to go and add theh onlyoffcie erver in the nextcloud settings?

thank you
