Configuring ONLYOFFICE

This guide helps to install and configure ONLYOFFICE with OpenKM.

Note

ONLYOFFICE is WOPI compliant. Read the specification at https://wopi.readthedocs.io/projects/wopirest/en/latest/index.html

Note

ONLYOFFICE documentation: https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/wopi/

ONLYOFFICE installation

First find out the IP address of the computer, e.g. 192.168.1.38 Henceforth, we will use this IP for this guide.

Run the following commands to install the Docker container:

• Download the script:

$ wget http://download.onlyoffice.com/docs/docs-enterprise-install.sh

• Run the script:

$ bash docs-enterprise-install.sh -skiphc true -dp 8082

Configuration

 Within the docker container, edit /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/default.json. After that, the service needs to be restarted: supervisorctl restart all.

Caution

WOPI has to be enabled manually by editing this default.json, and you need to set “wopi” parameter to true.

ONLYOFFICE access

Test it in your web browser: http://192.168.1.38:8082/

Discovery**:**

• Open your web browser and run the following URL: http://192.168.1.38:8082/hosting/discovery

Capabilities**:**

• Open your web browser and run the following URL: http://192.168.1.38:8082/hosting/capabilities

WOPI validator

Caution

This is an optional step.

This is for validating the REST endpoints of the WOPI host (OpenKM).

• Install it:

docker pull tylerbutler/wopi-validator

• Run it:

docker run -it --rm tylerbutler/wopi-validator -- -w http://localhost:8080/openkm/wopi/files/80ffd1eb-a6b8-4ec2-adc1-a58b23815eaf -t <openkm token> -l 36000000

Note

80ffd1eb-a6b8-4ec2-adc1-a58b23815eaf is the UUID of a document in OpenKM.

OpenKM configuration

Edit the following configuration parameters in OpenKM administration:

Caution

ONLYOFFICE source IP is in a Docker network range, usually like 172.17.x.x, so this IP should be the one configured at onlyoffice.ip configuration parameter. The authentication token used between ONLYOFFICE and OpenKM is restricted by IP, which means only the IP of ONLYOFFICE will be able to use it.

If unsure about ONLYOFFICE IP, look into the log file for an error message like “Error validating token IP where {} != {}”, or enter the docker container (docker exec -it name_container bash) and see the IP:  cat /etc/hosts

# value samplesonline.office.action.url = http://192.168.1.38:8080/openkm/wopi/files
online.office.url = http://192.168.1.38:8082/hosting/discovery
online.office.ip = 172.19.0.2extension.extra.tab.workspace = Online Editor;/openkm/onlineOffice/onlyoffice

Parameters:

• online.office.action.url: URL used by ONLYOFFICE Docker container to connect to OpenKM WOPI REST endpoint.
• online.office.url: URL used by OpenKM to connect to ONLYOFFICE Docker container.
• online.office.ip: Source IP used by ONLYOFFICE to authenticate to OpenKM.
• extension.extra.tab.workspace: to access from the top main menu in the OpenKM user interface.

Caution

For information on how to enable the parameter named “extension.extra.tab.workspace”, take a look at Extra tab workspace extension and Enable extensions sections in the documentation.
