An update: Trying to make the sftpgo files accessible to the document server. Facing some trouble working around the API provided by sftpgo and its oauth scheme.

It seems that it is not going to be possible to integrate with document server with SFTPGO without some changes to our fork. This is due to issues arising from the authentication system of SFTPGO. The api provided by the document server doesn't offer a lot in terms of connecting to a authenticated server and thus some changes will need to happen to expose the files hosted by SFTPGO.

I tried doing a small change that allowed accessing the API by passing the token through a query parameter(while this is something that most people wouldn't recommend, it is still used in some cases) but this didn't work unfortunately due to the separation between the webclient interface and the API layer, rendering the use of tokens generated by user login unable to be repurposed for the API interface. Any thoughts on this? @despiegk

we can change it, shouldn't be that much change, expected that we have to change something

[alichaddad]

Integration is almost done, some minor issues to be fixed and finishing the docker configuration

wow, how to use & deploy?

should be as simple as editing a doc file from the file manager

Verified.

DocumentServer was added and it works fine, it allows the user to edit files with all of the functionalities needed.
