ONLYOFFICE Document Server is an online office suite comprising viewers and editors for texts, spreadsheets and presentations, fully compatible with Office Open XML formats: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and enabling collaborative editing in real time.
Starting from version 6.0, Document Server is distributed as ONLYOFFICE Docs. It has three editions. With this image, you will install the free Community version.
ONLYOFFICE Docs can be used as a part of ONLYOFFICE Workspace or with third-party sync&share solutions (e.g. Nextcloud, ownCloud, Seafile) to enable collaborative editing within their interface.
Important Please update docker-engine to latest version (20.10.21 as of writing this doc) before using it. We use ubuntu:22.04 as base image and it older versions of docker have compatibility problems with it
Integrating it with ONLYOFFICE Community Server you will be able to:
sudo docker run -i -t -d -p 80:80 onlyoffice/documentserverUse this command if you wish to install ONLYOFFICE Document Server separately. To install ONLYOFFICE Document Server integrated with Community and Mail Servers, refer to the corresponding instructions below.
All the data are stored in the specially-designated directories, data volumes, at the following location:
To get access to your data from outside the container, you need to mount the volumes. It can be done by specifying the '-v' option in the docker run command.
sudo docker run -i -t -d -p 80:80 \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/logs:/var/log/onlyoffice \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data:/var/www/onlyoffice/Data \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/lib:/var/lib/onlyoffice \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/rabbitmq:/var/lib/rabbitmq \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/redis:/var/lib/redis \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/db:/var/lib/postgresql onlyoffice/documentserverNormally, you do not need to store container data because the container's operation does not depend on its state. Saving data will be useful:
To change the port, use the -p command. E.g.: to make your portal accessible via port 8080 execute the following command:
sudo docker run -i -t -d -p 8080:80 onlyoffice/documentserver sudo docker run -i -t -d -p 443:443 \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data:/var/www/onlyoffice/Data onlyoffice/documentserverAccess to the onlyoffice application can be secured using SSL so as to prevent unauthorized access. While a CA certified SSL certificate allows for verification of trust via the CA, a self signed certificates can also provide an equal level of trust verification as long as each client takes some additional steps to verify the identity of your website. Below the instructions on achieving this are provided.
To secure the application via SSL basically two things are needed:
So you need to create and install the following files:
/app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/tls.key
/app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/tls.crtWhen using CA certified certificates (e.g Let's encrypt), these files are provided to you by the CA. If you are using self-signed certificates you need to generate these files yourself.
sudo docker run -i -t -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
-e LETS_ENCRYPT_DOMAIN=your_domain -e LETS_ENCRYPT_MAIL=your_mail onlyoffice/documentserverIf you want to get and extend Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates automatically just set LETS_ENCRYPT_DOMAIN and LETS_ENCRYPT_MAIL variables.
Generation of self-signed SSL certificates involves a simple 3 step procedure.
STEP 1: Create the server private key
openssl genrsa -out tls.key 2048STEP 2: Create the certificate signing request (CSR)
openssl req -new -key tls.key -out tls.csrSTEP 3: Sign the certificate using the private key and CSR
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in tls.csr -signkey tls.key -out tls.crtYou have now generated an SSL certificate that's valid for 365 days.
This section provides you with instructions to strengthen your server security. To achieve this you need to generate stronger DHE parameters.
openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 2048Out of the four files generated above, you need to install the tls.key, tls.crt and dhparam.pem files at the onlyoffice server. The CSR file is not needed, but do make sure you safely backup the file (in case you ever need it again).
The default path that the onlyoffice application is configured to look for the SSL certificates is at /var/www/onlyoffice/Data/certs, this can however be changed using the SSL_KEY_PATH, SSL_CERTIFICATE_PATH and SSL_DHPARAM_PATH configuration options.
The /var/www/onlyoffice/Data/ path is the path of the data store, which means that you have to create a folder named certs inside /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/ and copy the files into it and as a measure of security you will update the permission on the tls.key file to only be readable by the owner.
mkdir -p /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs
cp tls.key /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/
cp tls.crt /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/
cp dhparam.pem /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/
chmod 400 /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/tls.keyYou are now just one step away from having our application secured.
Please refer the docker run command options for the --env-file flag where you can specify all required environment variables in a single file. This will save you from writing a potentially long docker run command.
Below is the complete list of parameters that can be set using environment variables.
true.31536000./var/www/onlyoffice/Data/certs/tls.crt./var/www/onlyoffice/Data/certs/tls.key./var/www/onlyoffice/Data/certs/dhparam.pem.CA_CERTIFICATES_PATH file. Defaults to false/var/www/onlyoffice/Data/certs/extra-ca-certs.pem.postgres, mariadb, mysql, mssql or oracle. Defaults to postgres.rabbitmq or activemq. Defaults to rabbitmq.random string.true.Authorization.false.false.false.false.trueif using selfsigned certificates for your storage server e.g. Nextcloud. Defaults to falsetruefalse.localhost.8125.ds..ONLYOFFICE Document Server is a part of ONLYOFFICE Community Edition that comprises also Community Server and Mail Server. To install them, follow these easy steps:
STEP 1: Create the onlyoffice network.
docker network create --driver bridge onlyofficeThen launch containers on it using the 'docker run --net onlyoffice' option:
STEP 2: Install MySQL.
Follow these steps to install MySQL server.
STEP 3: Generate JWT Secret
JWT secret defines the secret key to validate the JSON Web Token in the request to the ONLYOFFICE Document Server. You can specify it yourself or easily get it using the command:
JWT_SECRET=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 12);STEP 4: Install ONLYOFFICE Document Server.
sudo docker run --net onlyoffice -i -t -d --restart=always --name onlyoffice-document-server \
-e JWT_ENABLED=true \
-e JWT_SECRET=${JWT_SECRET} \
-e JWT_HEADER=AuthorizationJwt \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/logs:/var/log/onlyoffice \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data:/var/www/onlyoffice/Data \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/lib:/var/lib/onlyoffice \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/db:/var/lib/postgresql \
onlyoffice/documentserverSTEP 5: Install ONLYOFFICE Mail Server.
For the mail server correct work you need to specify its hostname 'yourdomain.com'.
sudo docker run --init --net onlyoffice --privileged -i -t -d --restart=always --name onlyoffice-mail-server -p 25:25 -p 143:143 -p 587:587 \
-e MYSQL_SERVER=onlyoffice-mysql-server \
-e MYSQL_SERVER_PORT=3306 \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_USER=root \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD=my-secret-pw \
-e MYSQL_SERVER_DB_NAME=onlyoffice_mailserver \
-v /app/onlyoffice/MailServer/data:/var/vmail \
-v /app/onlyoffice/MailServer/data/certs:/etc/pki/tls/mailserver \
-v /app/onlyoffice/MailServer/logs:/var/log \
-h yourdomain.com \
onlyoffice/mailserverThe additional parameters for mail server are available here.
To learn more, refer to the ONLYOFFICE Mail Server documentation.
STEP 6: Install ONLYOFFICE Community Server
sudo docker run --net onlyoffice -i -t -d --privileged --restart=always --name onlyoffice-community-server -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 5222:5222 --cgroupns=host \
-e MYSQL_SERVER_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw \
-e MYSQL_SERVER_DB_NAME=onlyoffice \
-e MYSQL_SERVER_HOST=onlyoffice-mysql-server \
-e MYSQL_SERVER_USER=onlyoffice_user \
-e MYSQL_SERVER_PASS=onlyoffice_pass \
-e DOCUMENT_SERVER_PORT_80_TCP_ADDR=onlyoffice-document-server \
-e DOCUMENT_SERVER_JWT_ENABLED=true \
-e DOCUMENT_SERVER_JWT_SECRET=${JWT_SECRET} \
-e DOCUMENT_SERVER_JWT_HEADER=AuthorizationJwt \
-e MAIL_SERVER_API_HOST=${MAIL_SERVER_IP} \
-e MAIL_SERVER_DB_HOST=onlyoffice-mysql-server \
-e MAIL_SERVER_DB_NAME=onlyoffice_mailserver \
-e MAIL_SERVER_DB_PORT=3306 \
-e MAIL_SERVER_DB_USER=root \
-e MAIL_SERVER_DB_PASS=my-secret-pw \
-v /app/onlyoffice/CommunityServer/data:/var/www/onlyoffice/Data \
-v /app/onlyoffice/CommunityServer/logs:/var/log/onlyoffice \
-v /app/onlyoffice/CommunityServer/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
-v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:rw \
onlyoffice/communityserverWhere ${MAIL_SERVER_IP} is the IP address for ONLYOFFICE Mail Server. You can easily get it using the command:
MAIL_SERVER_IP=$(docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' onlyoffice-mail-server)Alternatively, you can use an automatic installation script to install the whole ONLYOFFICE Community Edition at once. For the mail server correct work you need to specify its hostname 'yourdomain.com'.
STEP 1: Download the Community Edition Docker script file
wget https://download.onlyoffice.com/install/opensource-install.shSTEP 2: Install ONLYOFFICE Community Edition executing the following command:
bash opensource-install.sh -md yourdomain.comOr, use docker-compose. For the mail server correct work you need to specify its hostname 'yourdomain.com'. Assuming you have docker-compose installed, execute the following command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-CommunityServer/master/docker-compose.groups.yml
docker-compose up -d(Works and is supported only for Linux hosts)
Docker does not currently provide ipv6 addresses to containers by default. This function is experimental now.
To set up interaction via ipv6, you need to enable support for this feature in your Docker. For this you need:
/etc/docker/daemon.json file with the following content:{
"ipv6": true,
"fixed-cidr-v6": "2001:db8:abc1::/64"
}systemctl restart dockerAfter that, all running containers receive an ipv6 address and have an inet6 interface.
You can check your default bridge network and see the field there
EnableIPv6=true. A new ipv6 subnet will also be added.

As a relatively new project Docker is being worked on and actively developed by its community. So it's recommended to use the latest version of Docker, because the issues that you encounter might have already been fixed with a newer Docker release.
The known Docker issue with ONLYOFFICE Document Server with rpm-based distributives is that sometimes the processes fail to start inside Docker container. Fedora and RHEL/CentOS users should try disabling selinux with setenforce 0. If it fixes the issue then you can either stick with SELinux disabled which is not recommended by RedHat, or switch to using Ubuntu.
Due to the operational characteristic, Document Server saves a document only after the document has been closed by all the users who edited it. To avoid data loss, you must forcefully disconnect the Document Server users when you need to stop Document Server in cases of the application update, server reboot etc. To do that, execute the following script on the server where Document Server is installed:
sudo docker exec <CONTAINER> documentserver-prepare4shutdown.shPlease note, that both executing the script and disconnecting users may take a long time (up to 5 minutes).
