OnlyOffice Document Server is an online office suite comprising viewers and editors for texts, spreadsheets and presentations, fully compatible with Office Open XML formats: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx etc. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install OnlyOffice on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest OnlyOffice v12.7.0 release.

💡Note: Check out my new guide on how to Install OnlyOffice on Your Synology NAS.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

• STEP 3

Add Read & Write Permissions to the Docker Folder. If you have already added the Read and Write Permissions to the Docker Folder, skip this STEP.

• STEP 4

Go to File Manager and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it onlyoffice. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 5

Now create seven new folders inside the onlyoffice folder that you have previously created at STEP 4, and name them data, database, fonts, lib, logs, rabbitmq, redis. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 6

Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 7

In the Name field type in onlyoffice. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Portainer Stacks Web editor.

  onlyoffice:
    container_name: OnlyOffice
    hostname: onlyoffice
    image: onlyoffice/documentserver:latest
    healthcheck:
      test: timeout 10s bash -c ':> /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/80' || exit 1
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 90s
    ports:
      - 8467:80
    environment:
      JWT_ENABLED: true
      JWT_SECRET: q9TAW5pK5O9DqAWhY18XupmtlZk0ULRmjroiZcfvJkvZduSYzrzc0FtM2yfHEeyB
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/onlyoffice/logs:/var/log/onlyoffice:rw

      - /volume1/docker/onlyoffice/database:/var/lib/postgresql:rw
    restart: on-failure:5

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value for JWT_SECRET. (Generate your own 64 length JWT_SECRET.)

• STEP 8

Scroll down on the page until you see a button named Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.

⌛Now just wait because the OnlyOffice image is about 3.3GB.

If everything goes right, you will see the following message at the top right of your screen: “Success Stack successfully deployed“.

• STEP 10

On the left sidebar in Portainer, click Containers. Identify your OnlyOffice instance, then click on the little terminal icon. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 11

After you click on the little terminal icon at STEP 10, a new page will open. Click Connect. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 12

After you click Connect at STEP 11, a Console will open. Copy Paste the code below.

supervisorctl start ds:example

Once the code is inserted, confirm by pressing Enter on your keyboard.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

• STEP 15
