ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition can be installed using an automatic installation script for Linux operating systems. The script will set up all the components necessary for ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition correct work and is easy to run, manage and update.

This guide will show you how to install ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition to your machine using RPM/DEB packages with the help of the provided script. This installation method allows installing ONLYOFFICE Docs, ONLYOFFICE Community Server, ONLYOFFICE Control Panel, and ONLYOFFICE Talk at once (without ONLYOFFICE Mail which can be installed later). Alternatively, you can run this script and select an option to install ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition using Docker.

System requirements
  • CPU
    at least 4-core (6-core recommended)
  • RAM
    at least 8 GB (12 GB recommended)
  • HDD
    at least 40 GB of free space
  • Additional requirements
    at least 6 GB of swap
  • OS

Getting ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition script

Download ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition installation script file. You can do that using our site download page. Or the direct download link can be used, if it is more convenient for you:

wget https://download.onlyoffice.com/install/workspace-enterprise-install.sh

Once the download is finished, you can start the installation process.

Running ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition installation

Please note that all installation actions must be performed with root rights.

To start the installation process, run the following command:

bash workspace-enterprise-install.sh

Once you enter the above command, you will be prompted to select the way you want to install ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition. Type N and press Enter to install ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition using RPM/DEB packages.

If you have some programs already installed on your machine, some ports necessary for ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition operation may be used by other applications. In this case, you'll be asked to verify if the necessary ports are free. To find out which program is using a certain port, you can execute the following command: 
netstat -lnp | grep :<port_number>

After that, you may reconfigure the program to use another port. When the required ports are free, you'll be able to rerun the script and select the installation from RPM/DEB packages again.

The script will automatically install and configure all the necessary prerequisites as well as ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition components (ONLYOFFICE Docs, Control Panel and ONLYOFFICE Workspace).

If you are using CentOS, SELinux may prevent NGINX from starting. To avoid this issue, you can configure or disable SELinux as it is described in this article.

Once the installation is finished, you can check ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition for correct work. Open a browser and enter the local network computer IP address (please do not use either localhost or 127.0.0.1 network address for the same computer where you have ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition installed, use its IP address in the local network instead) in the browser address bar. ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition must be up and running, indicating the successful installation.

If you install ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition using RPM/DEB packages, the HTTPS and Update sections will not be available in the Control Panel and you will need to manually install ONLYOFFICE Mail and connect it to ONLYOFFICE Workspace. In such a case, you can follow corresponding instructions to switch your portal to HTTPS and to install and connect ONLYOFFICE Mail.

When installing ONLYOFFICE Workspace Enterprise Edition on Debian-based systems, some values are stored in debconf. These parameters are used for further update. For example, database connection parameters.

If you manually change these parameters in the configuration files, an error will occur when updating. To avoid the error, you need to change the parameters in the debconf using the following commands:

echo "onlyoffice-communityserver onlyoffice-communityserver/db-host select Newhost" | debconf-set-selections
echo "onlyoffice-communityserver onlyoffice-communityserver/db-user select Newuser" | debconf-set-selections
echo "onlyoffice-communityserver onlyoffice-communityserver/db-name select Newname" | debconf-set-selections
echo "onlyoffice-communityserver onlyoffice-communityserver/db-pwd password Newpassword" | debconf-set-selections
echo "onlyoffice-xmppserver onlyoffice-xmppserver/db-host select Newhost" | debconf-set-selections
echo "onlyoffice-xmppserver onlyoffice-xmppserver/db-user select Newuser" | debconf-set-selections
echo "onlyoffice-xmppserver onlyoffice-xmppserver/db-name select Newname" | debconf-set-selections
echo "onlyoffice-xmppserver onlyoffice-xmppserver/db-pwd password Newpassword" | debconf-set-selections
