ONLYOFFICE App Package

[nebulon]

Hi everyone,

we have just published an initial version of the ONLYOFFICE app package. It is still marked as unstable for now until we have gotten some feedback on what works and what doesn't. So please if you are interested and have enabled unstable apps on your Cloudron, give it a try and report issues here.

App package code is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/onlyoffice-app
Docs are at https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/onlyoffice/

Hi!
I want to try the app but unfortunately I cannot find it in the app store(unstable is enabled).

[girish]

@gloes Indeed. For some reason, this app was published with a minimum requirement of Cloudron 4.3. Not sure why, @nebulon knows. We are rolling out 4.3 though, so it's only a 3-4 day wait.

[nebulon]

The reason for the minimum Cloudron version requirement is a new option to the redis addon (nopassword) since Onlyoffice does not yet support this.

[girish]

Ah, forgot about that.

@nebulon @girish - When using Brave browser and I have to disable the Brave Shield to get all of the template functionality in ONLYOFFICE. Might need to be a Best Practice?

5.4.2 is out
https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/releases/tag/ONLYOFFICE-DesktopEditors-5.4.2

[nebulon]

Yeah, I am waiting for some days now for their debian packages to be updated...

[necrevistonnezr]

@nebulon there is a deb package at https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/releases/tag/ONLYOFFICE-DesktopEditors-5.4.2 (?)

[nebulon]

you are right, the current package uses the deb packages from https://download.onlyoffice.com however those have to be still manually extracted to fit the bill. Will see if that one deb package is sufficient.

[nebulon]

I've updated the package now. Thanks for the hints!

I'm currently on the free plan but the only two app I've got installed are NextCloud and OnlyOffice. I have installed the OnlyOffice app in Nextcloud and editing setting as per the docs (including changing secret key in both places) but whenever I go to https://docs.uniteddiversity.org I just get prompted to read the docs again - help! (if this has just worked I may well have decided to subscribe )

[girish]

@jdaviescoates Ah, this is expected. The ONLYOFFICE app itself has no UI other than what you are seeing already.

Have you setup the Nextcloud connector ? If so, then just clicking on any document inside nextcloud, will open up onlyoffice.

[jdaviescoates]

Ah, thanks @girish! Perhaps add that to the docs so others don't get confused like me?

Also, given this is the case it'd be quite nice to be able to hide OnlyOffice from MyApps somehow. From a UX point of view no point it being there to click if clicking on it doesn't do anything!

[girish]

@jdaviescoates If you go to the Access Control of Only Office, it will say "Dashboard Visibility". This way you can hide it for normal users. For admins, though the icon will always be visible. https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/#icon-visibility

[jdaviescoates]

Great, thanks @girish that's good to know!
