Installation with Debian based distributives also requires the presence of Node.js (version 8.12.0), libstdc++6, NGINX and PostgreSQL in the system.
All the necessary instrutions for these components and their dependencies installation can be found at their official websites.
There are other dependencies installed together with Document Server:
- libcurl3
- libxml2
- supervisor
- fonts-dejavu
- fonts-liberation
- ttf-mscorefonts-installer
- fonts-crosextra-carlito
- fonts-takao-gothic
- fonts-opensymbol
These dependencies are installed automatically when you use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or later. Earlier distributives might require their manual installation.
Installing dependencies
Document Server uses Node.js (version 8.12.0), NGINX and PostgreSQL as database. Dependencies found in the system repository will be installed automatically at Document Server installation using the apt-get install command.
Adding the repository containing the up-to-date Node.js package versions:
Add repository:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
Installing and configuring PostgreSQL:
Install the PostgreSQL version included in your version of Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install postgresql
After PostgreSQL is installed, create the PostgreSQL database and user:
The created database must have onlyoffice both for user and password.
sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE onlyoffice;"
sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER onlyoffice WITH password 'onlyoffice';"
sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL privileges ON DATABASE onlyoffice TO onlyoffice;"
Installing redis:
sudo apt-get install redis-server
Installing rabbitmq:
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
Ubuntu distributives prior to 14.04 LTS might require some other dependencies to be installed.
Ubuntu 18.04 will require to install npm and nginx-extras. This is done using the command:
sudo apt-get install npm nginx-extras
Changing the default Document Server port
By default Document Server listens to the incoming connections using port 80. Starting with version 4.3 you can change the port for Document Server if you plan to use it instead of the default one.
If you are going to change the default port, make sure that it is open for the incoming/outgoing connections. See the
complete list of the ports used by
Document Server.
To do that you will need to change the default port for the debconf system, running the command:
echo onlyoffice-documentserver onlyoffice/ds-port select <PORT_NUMBER> | sudo debconf-set-selections
echo onlyoffice-documentserver-ie onlyoffice/ds-port select <PORT_NUMBER> | sudo debconf-set-selections
echo onlyoffice-documentserver-de onlyoffice/ds-port select <PORT_NUMBER> | sudo debconf-set-selections
Please write the port number instead of the <PORT_NUMBER> in the above command.
Warning
If you want to change the
Document Server protocol to HTTPS, do not change the port to
443, but use
this instruction instead.
There are additional options which can be used for Document Server installation. Please read this section for more information on them.
After that you can continue with Document Server installation.
Installing Document Server
Add GPG key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys CB2DE8E5
Add Document Server repository:
sudo echo "deb https://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/debian squeeze main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/onlyoffice.list
While the APT package is built against Debian Squeeze, it is compatible with a number of Debian derivatives (including Ubuntu) which means you can use the same repository across all these distributions.
Update the package manager cache:
sudo apt-get update
Install Document Server
sudo apt-get install onlyoffice-documentserver
sudo apt-get install onlyoffice-documentserver-ie
sudo apt-get install onlyoffice-documentserver-de
During the installation process, you will be asked to provide a password for the onlyoffice PostgreSQL user. Please enter the onlyoffice password that you have specified when configuring PostgreSQL.
After that Document Server will be run as a process. The package will be updated just like any other deb package.
