How to Install ONLYOFFICE on EndeavourOS Latest

ONLYOFFICE is a open-source office suite that can be used for document editing, spreadsheet creation, and presentation designing. In this tutorial, we will cover the steps to install ONLYOFFICE on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with ONLYOFFICE installation, you should have:

• Administrative access to the EndeavourOS Latest server.
• A valid domain name and DNS configuration that points the domain name to the server’s IP address.
• An SSL certificate that is compatible with the domain name.

Step 1: Update the System

Start with updating the EndeavourOS Latest system to the latest version:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

ONLYOFFICE requires PostgreSQL to store the data. Use the following command to install PostgreSQL:

sudo pacman -S postgresql

After the installation, start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

Step 3: Install Nginx

ONLYOFFICE requires Nginx as a reverse proxy to handle the client requests. Use the following command to install Nginx:

sudo pacman -S nginx

After the installation, start the Nginx service and enable it to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx

Step 4: Install ONLYOFFICE

ONLYOFFICE provides a script to install the Community Server edition. Use the following commands to download and execute the script:

wget https://download.onlyoffice.com/install/opensource-install.sh
sudo bash opensource-install.sh

The installation process will ask you some configuration parameters, including:

• PostgreSQL user and password
• Admin panel password
• Mail server settings

Provide the necessary information and wait for the installation to complete.

Step 5: Configure Nginx

After the installation, you need to configure Nginx to serve ONLYOFFICE. Use the following command to open the Nginx configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/onlyoffice.conf

Paste the following configuration into the file:

 #upstream configuration
upstream backend {
    server 127.0.0.1:8000;
    server 127.0.0.1:8001;
}

#http server configuration
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  example.com; #Replace example.com with your domain name

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

    location /websocket {
        proxy_pass http://backend;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

#https server configuration
server {
    listen       443 ssl;
    server_name  example.com; #Replace example.com with your domain name
    ssl_certificate /path/to/ssl/certificate; #Replace with the path to your SSL certificate 
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/ssl/key; #Replace with the path to your SSL key

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

    location /websocket {
        proxy_pass http://backend;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

Save the file and exit the editor. Test the Nginx configuration and restart the service:

sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 6: Access ONLYOFFICE

ONLYOFFICE is now installed and configured to work with Nginx. Access ONLYOFFICE using your domain name in a web browser, and you should see the login screen.
