In this post we will be able to see how to integrate the installation we have of Nextcloud with that of ONLYOFFICE to allow our users to edit office documents online and to be able to work from the Nextcloud interface with their documents without the need to use any other office suite. It will be something super comfortable to work in a 100% web, they will have access to your files, they will be able to edit and collaborate with each other simultaneously!

​

We start by having Nextcloud installed and functional, as well as an ONLYOFFICE server also ready. If you need, Check out how install Nextcloud and this other one if you need install ONLYOFFICE Document Server. We will install the ONLYOFFICE App on Nextcloud to connect both services. It's very fast, from the Nextcloud server shell we will download the App:

[SourceCode]cd /var/www/nextcloud/apps
git clone https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-owncloud.git onlyoffice[/SourceCode]

We now access the Nextcloud account as an administrator, go to Apps and in 'Disabled Apps'’ we will have the ONLYOFFICE, Click on “Activate”.

If we go to the “Configuration” > “ONLYOFFICE” we will be able to indicate the URL of the server that has ONLYOFFICE Document Server, We can also indicate the extensions of the files that we are interested in that users can open with the online editor., We save the config,

And to see if it's enabled, We go directly to the area of “Records” and when you hit the “+” we will see that we can now create documents, Spreadsheets and presentations,

Or we can directly click on a document and see how a magnificent editor opens, that I'm sure our users are going to love, since it will cover most of their needs to be able to work online and collaborate with each other when working in a team!
