Anyone tried OnlyOffice document server?

Is there any word on this plugin coming to Nextcloud?

does it support parallel Multiuser as collabora?
Additional to that it “recommends” no more then 20 users too, although this is not a hard-limit as in collabora,
but it might get slow or such.

Ok it is out but failing install due to version <=10 check. Onlyoffice guys have only tested with version 9.0.3 and 9.1.3 pls let me know if anyone can make it work with version 11.

https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/owncloud

perhaps open an issue here? https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-owncloud/issues

Oh… excellent. Can anyone confirm this is working with Nextcloud11? In that case I would need to setup an x86 server again as last time checked the OnlyOffice document server didn’t work on ARM…

Good idea. I also posted on dev.onlyoffice.org

i changed the max-version in …/Nextcloud/apps/onlyoffice/appinfo/info.xml like this:

<owncloud min-version=“9.0” max-version=“11.1” />

that make it able to install

everything work … instead of saving
if i reopen the file i see my changes … but if i download it there is no change
crazy :frowning:

–> i make my document server reachable from outside (ssl - lets encrypt)
and after editing a document the callback seems to work :slight_smile:

Ah, good to know it more or less works. Have you tried if the desktop editors can be used together with the online version? (Edit: for those interested: not possible because they need to connect to the SaaS portal for usernames etc. But one could probably make a fork that works with Nextcloud directly)

Hello,

anyone has a comparison of fetaures between CODE and ONLYOFFICE? It looks a bit like they do both the same thing, so maybe someone has a bit of a comparison of features? I already run CODE using Docker, so is it worth the effort to set it up?

Thank you

Hi!

I have adapted the ONLYOFFICE-OwnCloud app to work with Nextcloud 11.0.2.

Have fun.

Be aware that OnlyOffice Community Edition is also artificially restricted, like CODE.

OnlyOffice Community Edition has a number of limitations such as: one CPU core and 20 simultaneous connections to Document server. It means that Document Sever may work with 20 simultaneous documents (connections) opened by you or someone else. The 21st connection will be able in view mode only!

the plugin for NextCloud is almost ready)

ONLYOFFICE uses OOXML formats (docx, xlsx, pptx) as default ones. CODE uses ODF. What formats are the most comfortable for you?

As for the features, you can have a look at this presentation - it’s about formatting capabilities (docx document was used there). Also, ONLYOFFICE has more co-editing features than CODE - two real-time co-editing modes, reviewing, commenting, built-in chat.

thats very interesting, how is the speed? Is it faster than code?

Thanks for the information, I am personally more on the ODF/ISO 26300 side, but I know many people who have to deal with a massive number of complex formatted OOXML files and would like a solution that handles them well outside Microsoft Office.

I installed it on a machine of mine.
That is not just a document/office-integration for your *cloud, it is a huge crm/mail/sharepoint-competitor.
It has a calendar, office-mail, discussion-board, blog, jabber-server, chat in document-editing and what else you can think of.
Its very pretty and tidy, but I think a bit very overkill.
The Dockerfile of collabora has some 100 Megabyte max 1 gig, this has 5 gig.

Besides of that, it occupies port 80,443 and 25, so I have to check if I can remap them and if it still working.

You got the community server and the document server. These are two separate products that can work together nicely, but the Nextcloud integration is only for the document server, which is the office part.

ah ok, thanks, the primary thing is, if I can get it running on different ports then 80 and 443/and or with an apache reverseproxy so I can use it with nc on the same machine.

See here: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-DocumentServer/issues/15
At least with the docker version it is currently not easily possible.

i got it running you need to use a reverseproxy with apache(or nginx):
in my case:

            #Proxysettings
            # Encoded slashes need to be allowed 
            AllowEncodedSlashes On

             # keep the host                                                                                                             
            ProxyPreserveHost On
            ProxyRequests Off

            ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

            ProxyPassReverse    / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

my nextcloudinstance tells me that the plugin is not configured correctly.
ONLYOFFICE app not configured. Please contact admin
Even I entered the domain.
So I need to use https?
update: same problem with https

update, okay i fixed it,
you can only use http and http, OR https and https! Firefox and chrome refuses if you mix that.
Now it works.
The only thing is, how do I block usage from foreign users? in collabora you can control that with -e “domain”.
