ONLYOFFICE integration

Reference guides and how-tos for FileRise core and Pro.

Last updated Jan 22, 2026

FileRise can open and edit Office documents using a self-hosted ONLYOFFICE Document Server. This is optional and ACL-aware.

Supported:

  • Edit: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX
  • View: ODT, ODS, ODP, PDF

Quick setup

  1. In FileRise: Admin → ONLYOFFICE
  2. Configure:
    • Enable ONLYOFFICE
    • Document Server origin (e.g. https://docs.example.com)
    • JWT secret (shared with your Document Server)
    • Optional: Public origin (if callbacks must use a different public URL)
  3. Use Run tests in the admin panel to validate connectivity.

Content-Security-Policy (CSP)

ONLYOFFICE requires additional CSP rules. The admin panel provides a copy-ready CSP snippet for Apache/Nginx.

.htaccess edit (change url or copy directly from admin panel)

Header always set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self'; object-src 'none'; script-src 'self' 'sha256-ajmGY+5VJOY6+8JHgzCqsqI8w9dCQfAmqIkFesOKItM=' https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com/web-apps/apps/api/documents/api.js; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: blob:; font-src 'self'; connect-src 'self' https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com; media-src 'self' blob:; worker-src 'self' blob:; form-action 'self'; frame-src 'self' https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com"

Nginx

# Drop upstream (Apache/.htaccess) headers that conflict with ONLYOFFICE
proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options;
proxy_hide_header Content-Security-Policy;

# Replace with an ONLYOFFICE-aware CSP at the proxy
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self'; object-src 'none'; script-src 'self' 'sha256-ajmGY+5VJOY6+8JHgzCqsqI8w9dCQfAmqIkFesOKItM=' https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com/web-apps/apps/api/documents/api.js; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: blob:; font-src 'self'; connect-src 'self' https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com; media-src 'self' blob:; worker-src 'self' blob:; form-action 'self'; frame-src 'self' https://your-onlyoffice-server.example.com" always;

HTTPS note

If FileRise is served over HTTPS, your Document Server must also be HTTPS to avoid mixed-content blocks.


Encrypted folders

ONLYOFFICE is disabled inside encrypted-at-rest folders by design.


Advanced (optional)

You can lock ONLYOFFICE settings in config/config.php by defining:

  • ONLYOFFICE_ENABLED
  • ONLYOFFICE_DOCS_ORIGIN
  • ONLYOFFICE_JWT_SECRET
  • ONLYOFFICE_PUBLIC_ORIGIN

When any of these are defined, the admin UI reflects the locked values.
