His guide is however extremely rough, as well as using Ubuntu and building for integration with another project featuring OwnCloud. Luckily, a GitHub user by the name of m-jowlett has written about his processes in a log over at his GitHub page. This however was no small task - there’s precious little usable information in any one place on how to do this, especially not from the official Collabora site that just wants you to use the Docker image. However, my BLSE2 platform does not support Docker now, or at any time in the foreseeable future, and is based entirely around Debian and the idea of “use the package manager as much as possible”. The software builds on the LibreOffice core code, and currently is only distributed as a Docker image, obtainable from the link above. In effect, it’s a Free Software version of the Google Docs suite of productivity tools, allowing one or many people to edit and save documents in a browser. LibreOffice Online is a very cool project by the fine people at Collabora to bring the LibreOffice core functionality into a web browser. I can offer no helpful support regarding getting it running. There are also images of dark origin on dockerhub for unlimited lool:īut it shouldn't be that difficult to adjust the official dockerfile from master to a (hopefully) more stable 5.4:īut there are warnings that this is quite an time consuming endeavor.DISCLAIMER: I never did proceed with this project beyond building the packages. There are solutions to build libreoffice without docker:

The community of libreoffice online (lool) is large compared to onlyoffice.Ĭollabora, one major driving force behind the development of lool released one popular distribution called CODE (COllabora Development Edition) which is quite stable, but limited:

The docker restart procedure of onlyoffice is prone to data loss: Especially this pending PR is problematic:

After testing onlyoffice thoroughly it seems problematic to use it in productivity.
