Hello,
I succesfully created my own self hosted Seafile instance to make a switch from Nextcloud.
On of the most important things for me is mobile file editing (docx, xlsx etc.). I got a trial instance from Seafile to check those features, and saw that you can open those files directly in the app (OnlyOffice embedded). No editing, since it’s the community edition, but that should not matter for now.
So after creating my own instance, I connected it to my own OnlyOffice, which has mobile editing unlocked (and working in the Nextcloud App).
But no matter what I try, the files won’t open in the Seafile App. I can only download them, but not edit them on the fly. Editing via web browser (desktop or mobile) is working just fine, but that is not the user experience I am search for.
Does someone now the trick to allow in app editing? How did seafile staff did this in the demo?
My configuration:
Seafile 11.0.13 community running in docker (
MariaDB 10.11.16, also docker
seahub_settings.py
# Enable OnlyOffice
ENABLE_ONLYOFFICE = True
VERIFY_ONLYOFFICE_CERTIFICATE = True
ONLYOFFICE_APIJS_URL = 'https://office.mydomain.de/web-apps/apps/api/documents/api.js'
ONLYOFFICE_FILE_EXTENSION = ('doc', 'docx', 'ppt', 'pptx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'odt', 'fodt', 'odp', 'fodp', 'ods', 'fods')
ONLYOFFICE_EDIT_FILE_EXTENSION = ('doc', 'docx', 'ppt', 'pptx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'odt', 'fodt', 'odp', 'fodp', 'ods', 'fods')
ONLYOFFICE_FORCE_SAVE = True
ONLYOFFICE_JWT_SECRET = 'mysecret'
ONLYOFFICE_DESKTOP_EDITORS_PORTAL_LOGIN = True
ONLYOFFICE_DOCUMENT_SERVER_URL = 'https://office.mydomain.de'
Hope someone can help.
Best regards,
Mika
