Connecting Dameng database to ONLYOFFICE Docs

Connecting to Dameng server

The Document Server has several variables, DB_TYPE, DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_NAME, DB_PORT, that allow you to customize your database connection. However, currently only MYSQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL are supported officially.

To connect DamengDb, modify the entry point script and add connection conditions and parameters to the initialization entry point script of the Document Server image:

1. Add new db type:

   https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-DocumentServer/blob/release/v8.1.0/run-document-server.sh#L176

2. Add the function of remote database creation:

   https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-DocumentServer/blob/release/v8.1.0/tests/damengdb/damengdb.Dockerfile#L36-L45

After these changes have been added to the entry script, the document server is ready to initialize the connection to the database.

Create a simple compose file, in which you specify the necessary variables for the Document Server service:

• DB_TYPE: damengdb
• DB_HOST: Name (dns name) of the database service in compose file
• DB_USER: Username
• DB_NAME: Database name
• DB_PORT: Service port with database

Mount the binary directory from the damengdb container so that the document server container has access to the disql utility. Please refer to the docker-compose.yml to learn more.
