Overview

This example will help you integrate ONLYOFFICE Docs into your web application written in Python.

It is aimed at testing the editors. Please, do not use it for production without proper modifications.

Step 1. Install ONLYOFFICE Docs

Download and install ONLYOFFICE Docs (packaged as Document Server).

See the detailed guide to learn how to install Document Server for Windows, for Linux, or for Docker.

Step 2. Install the prerequisites and run the website with the editors

1. Python comes preinstalled on most Linux distributions, and is available as a package on all others. Python 3.9 is required. Please proceed to official documentation if you have any troubles.

2. Download the archive with the Python example and unpack it:

   wget "https://api.onlyoffice.com/app_data/editor/Python%20Example.zip"
   

   unzip Python\ Example.zip
   

3. Change the current directory for the project directory:

   cd Python\ Example
   

4. Install the dependencies:

   pip install Django==3.1.3
   pip install requests==2.25.0
   pip install pyjwt==1.7.1
   pip install python-magic
   

5. Edit the config.py configuration file. Specify the name of your local server with the ONLYOFFICE Document Server installed. And specify the name of the server on which example is installed.

   nano config.py
   

   Edit the following line:

   DOC_SERV_SITE_URL = 'https://documentserver/'
   

   where the documentserver is the name of the server with the ONLYOFFICE Document Server installed.

6. Run the Python server:

   python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
   

7. See the result in your browser using the address:

   http://localhost
   

Step 3. Check accessibility

In case the example and Document Server are installed on different computers, make sure that your server with the example installed has access to the Document Server with the address which you specify instead of documentserver in the configuration files.

Make sure that the Document Server has access to the server with the example installed with the address which you specify instead of example.com in the configuration files.
