Installing ONLYOFFICE Docs on CentOS or RHEL for arm64

Installing the up-to-date NGINX package version

To set up the yum repository for RHEL/CentOS, create the file named /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo with the following contents:

[nginx-stable]
name=nginx stable repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true

Install NGINX:

sudo yum install nginx

Remove the following file:

sudo rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Official instruction

After that, edit the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf NGINX configuration file, so that it looks the following way:

user                  nginx;
worker_processes      1;
error_log             /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid                   /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
  worker_connections  1024;
}
http {
  include             /etc/nginx/mime.types;
  default_type        application/octet-stream;
  log_format          main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                            '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                            '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
  access_log          /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;
  sendfile            on;
  #tcp_nopush         on;
  keepalive_timeout   65;
  #gzip               on;
  include             /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

Installing Redis

sudo yum install redis

Start the redis service and enable start on boot:

sudo service redis start
sudo systemctl enable redis

Installing RabbitMQ

sudo curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
ERLANG_LATEST_VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/rabbitmq/erlang-rpm/releases | sed -n 's/.*"tag_name":\s*"v\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p' | head -1)
sudo rpm -ivh https://github.com/rabbitmq/erlang-rpm/releases/latest/download/erlang-${ERLANG_LATEST_VERSION}-1.el${REV}.aarch64.rpm

Change $REV to your OS version manually (8 for versions 8.x, 9 for versions 9.x and so on).

sudo yum install rabbitmq-server

Alternatively, you can install RabbitMQ on CentOS 8 or CentOS 9 from the official site.

Start the rabbitmq service and enable start on boot:

sudo systemctl enable --now rabbitmq-server

Adding the ONLYOFFICE Docs repository

Add the yum ONLYOFFICE Docs repository with the following command:

sudo yum install https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/centos/main/noarch/onlyoffice-repo.noarch.rpm

Commands for installing ONLYOFFICE Docs

Execute the following command for the Community edition:

sudo yum install onlyoffice-documentserver

Start the nginx service and enable start on boot:

After that, ONLYOFFICE Docs will be run as a process. The package will be updated just like any other rpm package.

Run a configuration script

export DB_TYPE=mysql
export DB_PORT=6443

Run the documentserver-configure.sh script:

bash documentserver-configure.sh

You will be asked to specify the PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ connection parameters. Use the following data:

For PostgreSQL:

• Host: localhost
• Database: onlyoffice
• User: onlyoffice
• Password: onlyoffice

For RabbitMQ:

• Host: localhost
• User: guest
• Password: guest

Add a firewall exception

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Disable SELinux

Open the /etc/selinux/config file using any text editor, replace the SELINUX=enforcing or SELINUX=permissive string with the SELINUX=disabled one, and save the changes.

Reboot your server for the changes to take effect.
