Installing ONLYOFFICE Docs

You will need an instance of ONLYOFFICE Docs (Document Server) that is resolvable and connectable both from Mattermost and any end clients. ONLYOFFICE Document Server must also be able to POST to Mattermost directly.

Document Server and Mattermost can be installed either on different computers or on the same machine. In case you choose the latter option, you need to set up a custom port for Document Server.

You can install free Community version of ONLYOFFICE Docs or scalable Enterprise Edition with pro features.

To install free Community version, use Docker (recommended) or follow these instructions for Debian, Ubuntu, or derivatives.

To install Enterprise Edition, follow the instructions here.

Community Edition vs Enterprise Edition comparison can be found here.

Plugin settings

Settings

  • Document Editing Service address: The URL and port of the installed ONLYOFFICE Document Server.

  • Secret key: Starting from version 7.2, JWT is enabled by default and the secret key is generated automatically to restrict the access to ONLYOFFICE Docs and for security reasons and data integrity. Specify your own secret key in the Mattermost plugin configuration. In the ONLYOFFICE Docs config file, specify the same secret key and enable the validation.

  • JWT Header: If JWT protection is enabled, it is necessary to specify a custom header name since the Mattermost security policy blocks external 'Authorization' Headers. This header should be specified in the ONLYOFFICE Docs signature settings as well (further information can be found here).

  • JWT Prefix: Used to specify the ONLYOFFICE Docs prefix.

Using Mattermost ONLYOFFICE integration plugin

Users are able to open files sent in personal and group Mattermost chats for viewing and co-editing.

When files are sent in the chat message, the following actions are available in the file context menu by clicking the ⋮ symbol:

  • Open file in ONLYOFFICE and Change access rights — for the author of the message.
  • Open file in ONLYOFFICE — for the recipient of the message.

Settings

When clicking on the Open file in ONLYOFFICE button, the corresponding ONLYOFFICE editor opens in the same window.

Settings

The author of the message with attached documents is able to change access rights to the file via the context menu using the Change access rights option. This action is available both in personal and group chats.

Settings

ONLYOFFICE bot sends notifications about changes in the document specifying the name of the user who made those changes.
