Installing ONLYOFFICE Docs

You’ll need a running instance of ONLYOFFICE Docs (Document Server) that can communicate both ways with your Nuxeo server and is reachable by end-user browsers.

☁️ Option 1: ONLYOFFICE Docs Cloud

No installation needed — just register here and get instant access. Your registration email includes all required connection details, including the Document Server address and JWT credentials.

🏠 Option 2: Self-hosted ONLYOFFICE Docs

Install ONLYOFFICE Docs on your own infrastructure for full control. You have two main choices for the ONLYOFFICE Document Server:

  • Community Edition (Free): Ideal for small teams and personal use.
    • The recommended installation method is Docker.
    • To install it on Debian, Ubuntu, or other derivatives, click here.
  • Enterprise Edition: Packed with professional features and scalability for larger organizations. To install, click here.

Community Edition vs Enterprise Edition comparison can be found here.

Note: Document Server ↔ Nuxeo must be mutually reachable. The Document Server must be able to POST to Nuxeo (callback flow).

Installing the addon package 📥

You have two options:

Option A: Nuxeo Marketplace (recommended)

Install directly from Nuxeo Marketplace

Option B: nuxeoctl

nuxeoctl mp-install /path/to/onlyoffice-nuxeo-package-x.x.zip

Configuring the addon package ⚙️

Open the nuxeo.conf file and enter the name of the server with ONLYOFFICE Docs installed:

onlyoffice.docserv.url=http://documentserver/

where the documentserver is the name of the server with ONLYOFFICE Docs installed. The address must be accessible from the user browser and from the Nuxeo server. The Nuxeo server address must also be accessible from ONLYOFFICE Docs for correct work.

JWT is enabled by default and the secret key is generated automatically to restrict the access to ONLYOFFICE Docs and for security reasons and data integrity. If needed, specify your own secret key by adding the onlyoffice.jwt.secret=yoursecret line to the nuxeo.conf file. In the ONLYOFFICE Docs config file, specify the same secret key and enable the validation.

Compiling the ONLYOFFICE addon package for Nuxeo

To build Nuxeo package, the following steps must be performed for Ubuntu:

  1. The stable Java version is necessary for the successful build. If you do not have it installed, use the following commands to install Open JDK 8:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
  2. Install latest Maven: Installation process is described here

  3. Download the ONLYOFFICE addon package for Nuxeo source code:

    git clone https://github.com/onlyoffice/onlyoffice-nuxeo.git
