Mattermost plugin error

I’ve recently installed the community version of Onlyoffice document server. We would like to connect it with our Mattermost setup using the plugin. The document server is working but connecting it with Mattermost results in an error: [ONLYOFFICE CMD]: could not parse document server version.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance, Reyn

Hi Reyn :wave:

Thanks for reaching out!

To better understand and help resolve the issue, could you please provide more details about your setup? Specifically:

  • What operating system did you install the Document Server on?
  • Are Mattermost and ONLYOFFICE running on the same machine or on separate servers?
  • How did you install the Document Server (e.g., via Docker, DEB/RPM package, snap, etc.)?
  • What version of ONLYOFFICE Document Server are you using?
  • What version of Mattermost are you currently running?
  • Are you using any proxy or reverse proxy (such as NGINX) between Mattermost and ONLYOFFICE?

The more technical details you can provide, the easier it will be to assist you.

Hi Nikolas,
Thanks for your reply!

  1. I’ve installed the document server on a Ubuntu 24.04 server supplied by Hetzner.
  2. The mattermost and ONLYOFFICE run on separate machines /servers
  3. I’ve installed ONLYOFFICE using the command line and the tutorial of shape host, starting with installing the database etc. and then using the command curl -fsSL https://download.onlyoffice.com/GPG-KEY-ONLYOFFICE | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/onlyoffice.gpg and so on.
  4. I do not know how to verify the version but its seems to be coming from the ONLYOFFICE repository.
  5. The mattermost version running is:10.3.1
  6. On both the mattermost and the ONLYOFFICE server I use NGINX with an SSL certificate.
  7. Also the domain is protected via a Cloudflare WAF for which the rules have been disabled during the installation.

Of course now I think that both applications should run on one server. Is that easier or correct?

Thanks for your help and best regards, Reyn

For your information, I have also made a Docspace installation on a Hetzner server (community version) using the Onlyoffice documentation. Docspace works fine, but I get the same error in the Mattermost Plugin.

Thank you for you help I really appreciate it.

Hello @Reyn

Please share a link to the guide that you used to install Document Server. If it is running right now, please go to its Welcome Page via Document Server address, enable integrated test example with instruction on the Welcome Page, once it is enabled, go to the test example page by clicking GO TO TEST EXAMPLE and try creating/uploading any file. Does it return any errors?

Hi Constantine, I have used Installing ONLYOFFICE DocSpace Community using the provided script to install Docspace. It also has the Document server in it. When I first only installed Doc Server I did make a test example but I did not get any errors.

Hi All, I Figured it out. It seemed that the URL for the document server of Docspace was not correct. I’ve changed it and to my delight there is a working system now. Thanks for bearing with me and your support. All the best, Reyn
