ONLYOFFICE is a software suite that offers online and offline tools for document editing, collaboration, and management. It is developed by Ascensio System SIA, a company based in Riga, Latvia. ONLYOFFICE consists of several components, such as Docs, Workspace, Desktop Editors, and Mobile Apps. It is an open-source project that aims to provide a secure and compatible alternative to other office suites.

Installation

Add following line to your configuration to enable ONLYOFFICE

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.onlyoffice-desktopeditors ];

Troubleshooting

Install and use missing corefonts

According to one upstream bug ONLYOFFICE is unable to locate font files on NixOS. A workaround is to install missing or additional fonts and copy them to the user directory

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

# Allow installation of unfree corefonts package
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePredicate = pkg:
  builtins.elem (lib.getName pkg) [ "corefonts" ];

fonts.fonts = with pkgs; [
  corefonts
];

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts
$ # Query store path to the corefonts package
$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-store --query --outputs $(nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A corefonts)
$ # Change the store path according to result of the command above
$ cp /nix/store/ssw7d3cl2dzps6y1c88c01xclsigmjqf-corefonts-1/share/fonts/truetype/* ~/.local/share/fonts/
$ chmod 644 ~/.local/share/fonts/*
