Open ONLYOFFICE documentation →What ONLYOFFICE adds
ONLYOFFICE Docs provides web editors for documents, spreadsheets and presentations. When connected to a platform such as Nextcloud, files can be opened and edited in the browser while storage remains under the control of the self-hosted environment.
Why I use it
File synchronisation alone is not a complete collaboration platform. Adding a document server lets me test the full workflow: storage, browser editing, permissions, reverse proxying, authentication between services and recovery when one component is unavailable.
Integration focus
- Use a shared JWT secret between Nextcloud and the document server
- Keep the document server behind trusted HTTPS
- Back up configuration and database state
- Monitor conversion queues and container health
- Test large documents and simultaneous editing
- Separate persistent data from disposable containers
