• ONLYOFFICE Document Editor
• ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor
•  ONLYOFFICE Presentation Editor

It also provides a set of collaboration tools for real-time co-editing: fast and strict co-editing modes, chat and comments to interact with co-authors. Review and tracking changes are also available.

What we need to integrate ONLYOFFICE with ownCloud:

• ownCloud 9.0.3 or later. This tutorial will help us to install ownCloud.
• ONLYOFFICE Document Server 3.0 or later.
• ownCloud ONLYOFFICE integration app.

How to proceed:

Step 1. Install ONLYOFFICE Document Server.

The easiest and fastest way to deploy online editors is to use an official Docker image.

First install Docker following the instructions here.

Then install Document Server with this command:

sudo docker run -i -t -d -p 80:80 onlyoffice/documentserver

Step 2. Integrate ownCloud with ONLYOFFICE.

Copy and place the ownCloud ONLYOFFICE integration app into the app directory of ownCloud server.

cd apps/ git clone https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-owncloud.git onlyoffice

Open ownCloud. Select Apps >> Not enabled >> ONLYOFFICE. Enable ONLYOFFICE.

Finally, configure the application. Go to ownCloud administrative settings, switch to the ONLYOFFICE section and enter the address of the server with ONLYOFFICE Document Server installed.

Step 3. Start editing documents.

Open the Files list. Select a text document, spreadsheet or presentation to edit. Currently you can edit the following document formats: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, TXT. The following files will be converted into the corresponding Office Open XML formats: ODT, ODS, ODP, DOC, XLS, PPT, PPS, EPUB, RTF, HTML, HTM.

Open the menu and select the Open in ONLYOFFICE option.

Step: 3 Using ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors

ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors have a tab-based user interface. So you can open and edit different documents within one and the same window switching between tabs.

Once the program is launched, you will see the desktop editor main screen where you can create a new document, spreadsheet, or presentation, open files stored on your PC, or connect your desktop editors to an existing web-based ONLYOFFICE portal to collaborate on documents in real-time, comment, interact via integrated chat with your coauthors, etc.

There is also a cloud-based solution free for personal use – ONLYOFFICE Personal. You can create an account and connect it to your desktop editors for real-time collaboration without deploying it on your server.

Step:4 Adding plugins you need

The ONLYOFFICE plugin collection is available on GitHub. To download it, use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/sdkjs-plugins.git

Open the folder and select the plugins you need, ex. YouTube to insert a video from YouTube, or OCR to recognize text from the pictures, or ClipArt to insert a clipart object into your document or presentation, etc.

Then open the folder with the plugin you want to add. Select all the files and archive them. Make sure you archive all files (not a folder!), including config.json, index.html and pluginCode.js.

Finally change the archive extension to .plugin and drag-and-drop it to the desktop editors.

Create a document or open an existing one. The Plugin icon will appear on the left-side panel.

If there is no plugin that you need, you can create it yourself using API
