Howto install Onlyoffice document server as Nextcloud app

[dnutan (Marc)]

This is strange because these errors were fixed and do not occur on a fresh install. (…) Maybe it’s just because of the reinstall.

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

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

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.

Hosting the package on your repo

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…

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

Released the update to fix future documentserver update problems.

Ok mrmarkuz it’s working thank for de port 8082 I put it and is working now.

Module instructions/download: https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=onlyoffice

is this the better method of installing than

We start with installing packages and preparing postgres:

# install packages
yum -y install nethserver-nextcloud nethserver-postgresql nethserver-redis rabbitmq-server nano

# customize postgres pg_hba.conf
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
echo -e "host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust\nhost all all ::1/128 trust" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf/15onlyoffice
signal-event nethserver-postgresql-update

# create postgres db and user
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE onlyoffice;"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER onlyoffice WITH password 'onlyoffice';"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL privileges ON DATABASE onlyoffice TO onlyoffice;"

# start and enable redis and rabbitmq
systemctl enable redis --now
systemctl enable rabbitmq-server --now

# install fonts and documentserver
yum -y install https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm
yum -y install https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/releases/download/ONLYOFFICE-DocumentServer-5.0.7/onlyoffice-documentserver.x86_64.rpm

# stop httpd and start and enable supervisord and nginx
systemctl stop httpd
systemctl enable supervisord --now
systemctl enable nginx --now

# change documentserver http port from 80 to 8081 to have no conflict
export DS_PORT=8081
documentserver-configure.sh

Now we have to go through the documentserver-configure script. Accept the defaults here. Set the password for Postgres user to “onlyoffice” and the password for RabbitMQ user to “guest”.

than this method.

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

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

[oneitonitram (Martin)]

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

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

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

[oneitonitram (Martin)]

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

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

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

[oneitonitram (Martin)]

The module integrates itself in nextcloud

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

[oneitonitram (Martin)]

thank you

Hi everyone,

Yesterday i made a clean install Nethserver + Nextcloud (from Software center) + OnlyOffice + DocumentServer 5.1.4 as per instructions (onlyoffice Wiki).

Despite this, I have always received an error (when I press the Save button in Nextcloud - ONLYOFFICE):
“Command Request on check error: Error while downloading the document file to be converted.”

I spent the whole day trying to solve the problem.

I found a solution this morning. In file default.json (/etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/) I made a simple change (true to false):

“requestDefaults”: {
“headers”: {
“userAgent”: “Node.js/6.13”
},
“rejectUnauthorized”: false
},

I know the problem is in the certificates, but only in this way have I managed to make Onlyoffice to work.

I am a little confused

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

Hi Zoran,

I know the problem is in the certificates, but only in this way have I managed to make Onlyoffice to work.

Yes, you need a valid trusted cert like letsencrypt and you probably need to port forward 8082 from your router to your Nethserver. You have to set your domain too.

I found a solution this morning.

Thanks for sharing, this is great for using onlyoffice without valid cert but I am afraid it’s not the best for security.

[kizotux (Zoran Ramač)]

Thanks Markus,

now I will try to implement the certificates.

Hi Markus @mrmarkuz ,

I installed a new NS instance with NC-13.0.6 and only-office 5.0.7 (selfsigned certs).
I had to install librabbitmq and librabbitmq-tools from puias-unsupported.

I did:
wget http://springdale.math.ias.edu/data/puias/unsupported/7/x86_64//librabbitmq-0.5.2-1.sdl7.x86_64.rpm
and
wget http://springdale.math.ias.edu/data/puias/unsupported/7/x86_64//librabbitmq-tools-0.5.2-1.sdl7.x86_64.rpm

and then

yum localinstall -y librabbitmq-0.5.2-1.sdl7.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall -y librabbitmq-tools-0.5.2-1.sdl7.x86_64.rpm

Now onlyoffice in NC 13 on NS 7.5 is running fine:

Maybe you want to update your Howto.

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

IIRC it’s only a problem with old documentserver needed for self-signed certs, newer documentserver version should just work. It’s because epel changed rabbitmq packages.
Thanx, I’ll update the wiki entry asap.

EDIT: updated.

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

I found a workaround to install onlyoffice 5.1.x with selfsigned certs.
It’s only a workaround, because it breaks SSL security due to allow connections to unauthorized ssl servers, but it works.

Set services.CoAuthoring.requestDefaults.rejectUnauthorized=false in /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/defaults.json file and restart documentserver serviceis with supervisorctl restart all .

Got it from: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-DocumentServer/issues/96
