cd Docker-DocumentServer

Configuring ONLYOFFICE Docs

Using custom fonts

Mount the fonts folder from your local machine to the fonts folder within the onlyoffice-documentserver-data container. To do that:

open the docker-compose.yml file,
find the services -> onlyoffice-documentserver-data -> volumes section,
replace the - /usr/share/fonts string with the following one:
```
 - /your_local_fonts_folder:/usr/share/fonts
```

Setting up HTTPS

To use the HTTPS protocol you need to uncomment the following strings in the docker-compose.yml file:

- FORCE_SSL=true
- CERT_FOLDER=/certs/
- /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/onlyoffice.pem:/certs/cert1.pem

Create the /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data/certs/onlyoffice.pem file that contains a certificate and a private key.

When using CA certified certificates, the Private key (.key) and SSL certificate (.crt) are provided to you by the CA. When using self-signed certificates you need to generate these files yourself. Skip steps 1-3 in the following section if you have CA certified SSL certificates.

Generation of self signed certificates

Generation of self-signed SSL certificates involves a simple 3 step procedure

STEP 1: Create the server private key

openssl genrsa -out onlyoffice.key 2048

STEP 2: Create the certificate signing request (CSR)

openssl req -new -key onlyoffice.key -out onlyoffice.csr

STEP 3: Sign the certificate using the private key and CSR

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in onlyoffice.csr -signkey onlyoffice.key -out onlyoffice.crt

STEP 4: Merge both the files

cp onlyoffice.crt onlyoffice.pem
cat onlyoffice.key >> onlyoffice.pem
