Preparing the Install

Document Server uses Node.js (version 8.12.0), NGINX and PostgreSQL as database. Dependencies found in the system repository will be installed automatically at Document Server installation using the apt-get install command.

Adding the repository containing the up-to-date Node.js package versions:

Add repository:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -

Installing and configuring PostgreSQL:

Install the PostgreSQL version included in your version of Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install postgresql

After PostgreSQL is installed, create the PostgreSQL database and user:

sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE onlyoffice;"
sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER onlyoffice WITH password 'onlyoffice';"
sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL privileges ON DATABASE onlyoffice TO onlyoffice;"

Installing redis:

sudo apt-get install redis-server

Installing rabbitmq:

sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server

Ubuntu 18.04 will require to install npm and nginx-extras. This is done using the command:

sudo apt-get install npm nginx-extras

Installing Document Server

Add GPG key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys CB2DE8E5

Add Document Server repository:

sudo echo "deb http://download.onlyoffice.com/repo/debian squeeze main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/onlyoffice.list

Update the package manager cache:

sudo apt-get update

Install Document Server

sudo apt-get install onlyoffice-documentserver

Rebuilding spellchecker (Ubuntu 18.04)

For the spellchecker to work correctly under Ubuntu 18.04 you will need to rebuild it. This is done the following way:

Update npm:

sudo npm install -g npm

Stop Document Server services:

sudo supervisorctl stop all

Install the components necessary for the build:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git

Switch to the spellchecker folder:

cd /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/server/SpellChecker/

Delete the older build:

sudo mv node_modules/ node_modules_old/

Install the dependencies:

sudo npm install

And finally start back Document Server services:

sudo supervisorctl start all
