Best way to Setup a ONLYOFFICE community server in VMware to integate it in Nextcloud

DocSpace

As the built-in server is not Compatible with NC v 18.0.1

I intend to set up the server in an ESXi VM.
As I am not very clever with all this server stuff, I’m looking for an easy way to get this done.

Is there a ready-to-use Image with only the ONLYOFFICE server?

What would you recommend to a newbie to set this up?

Hello, @Witzker :handshake:

  1. Here is the link to the official OnlyOffice connector for Nextcloud.
    https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/onlyoffice

  2. The simplest way to install ONLYOFFICE Docs is through Docker. Here is the link to the installation instructions (1-click install).
    Installing ONLYOFFICE Docs using the provided script - ONLYOFFICE

THX for taking care, but as I’m new, I want to avoid Docker.
Is there a ready-to-use VM for ESXi?

Or simple copy-past instruction, how to set this up on Debian?

hey @Witzker :handshake:

Docker will allow you to do absolutely nothing :saluting_face:

  1. Download the script.
  2. Run the script. (The main requirement is internet access).

Select ‘Y’ to install ONLYOFFICE Docs using Docker (recommended). Select ‘N’ to install it using RPM/DEB packages.
Install with Docker [Y/N/C]?

  1. Press “Y”

No, we don’t have ready-made virtual machines.

For Debian-based ONYOFFICE Docs installation, the instructions are just as straightforward.

  1. Download the script.
  2. Run the script. (The main requirement is internet access).

Select ‘Y’ to install ONLYOFFICE Docs using Docker (recommended). Select ‘N’ to install it using RPM/DEB packages. Install with Docker [Y/N/C]?

  1. Press “N”

It couldn’t be simpler :upside_down_face:

I Now was able to install ONLYOFFICE on Debian

As I have changing IP addresses, I used the method that worked with other apps in my home lab.

I have an IONOS subdomain: onlyoffice.mydomain.com

At IONOS I point This domain to my Myfritz.domain.net with CNAME
So the domain onlyoffice.mydomain. arrives at my FritzBox(router)
I have a NPM running and point the domain to the VMs IP address with the ONLYOFFICE server.

When I enter the IP of the VM, ONLYOFFICE server Page is shown.

But when I put in The onlyoffice.mydomain.
I get: Bad Gateway

In NPM I have a let’s encrypt certificate!

What Have I done wrong??

Hello @Witzker
If you don’t mind, I will join this thread too.

I have a NPM running and point the domain to the VMs IP address with the ONLYOFFICE server.

When I enter the IP of the VM, ONLYOFFICE server Page is shown.

But when I put in The onlyoffice.mydomain.

I assume that NPM stands for Nginx Proxy. We have proxy config samples on our web site: Using ONLYOFFICE Docs behind the proxy - ONLYOFFICE
Please compare them with your settings. So far, it seems that the issue is related to your DNS settings or\and proxy configuration.
