Installing ONLYOFFICE Workspace Community using the provided script

Introduction

ONLYOFFICE Workspace is a free version of collaborative system developed to manage documents, projects, customer relationship and email correspondence, all in one place.

ONLYOFFICE Workspace is shipped as an automatic installation script for Linux operating systems with Docker installed. The script will set up Docker containers with all the components necessary for ONLYOFFICE Workspace correct work and is easy to run, manage and update.

This guide will show you how to install ONLYOFFICE Workspace to your machine using the provided Docker script. Alternatively, you can run this script and select an option to install ONLYOFFICE Workspace from RPM/DEB packages.

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
amd64 Linux distribution with kernel version 3.10 or later

Though running ONLYOFFICE Workspace is a very resourceful operation, you will not have to allocate swap space before you start installation. When you run the installation script, a 6 Gb swap file is created automatically.

Getting ONLYOFFICE Workspace script

Download ONLYOFFICE Workspace Docker 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-install.sh

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

Running complete installation of ONLYOFFICE Workspace

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

You can install all ONLYOFFICE Workspace components and modules at once. To do that, run the following command:

bash workspace-install.sh -md "yourdomain.com"

Where yourdomain.com is your own domain that will be used for ONLYOFFICE Mail.

Your domain that will be used for maintaining correspondence must be valid and configured for this machine (i.e., it should have the appropriate A record in the DNS settings that points your domain name to the IP address of the machine where ONLYOFFICE Mail is installed).
In the command above, the "yourdomain.com" parameter must be understood as a service domain for Mail Server. It is usually specified in the MX record of the domain that will be used for maintaining correspondence. As a rule, the "yourdomain.com" looks like mx1.onlyoffice.com

If you do not have a domain name or simply want to install ONLYOFFICE Workspace for your local server, you can install it without ONLYOFFICE Mail.

For the ONLYOFFICE Workspace to be able to run the Docker service is necessary. The installation script will check if it is present on the computer and its version is not less than the minimal required. Otherwise, the Docker will be installed or updated automatically.

Docker specifies Google DNS servers by default. If your ONLYOFFICE Workspace server is not going to have access to the Internet, we recommend that you change the default Docker DNS address to the address of your local DNS server. To do that, go to the /etc/default/docker file and change the IP address in the following line to the IP address of a DNS server in your local network:

docker_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8"

For the RPM based operating systems like CentOS:

Create the /etc/docker/daemon.json configuration file with the following contents:
```
{ "dns" : [ "8.8.8.8" ] }
```
Restart the Docker service:
```
sudo systemctl restart docker.service
```

Running ONLYOFFICE Workspace installation without ONLYOFFICE Mail

In case you do not want to install ONLYOFFICE Mail just now, you can skip its installation. To do that, run the following command:

bash workspace-install.sh -ims false

This will install ONLYOFFICE Workspace without ONLYOFFICE Mail.

The list of all available script parameters is available with the below command:

bash workspace-install.sh -h

To learn more on how to use all the available script parameters, please refer to this article.

Once the installation is finished, you can check ONLYOFFICE Workspace 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 installed, use its IP address in the local network instead) in the browser address bar. ONLYOFFICE Workspace must be up and running, indicating the successful installation.
