Overview
This example will help you integrate ONLYOFFICE Docs into your web application written on Python.
Warning
It is intended for testing purposes and demonstrating functionality of the editors. DO NOT use this integration example on your own server without proper code modifications. In case you enabled the test example, disable it before going for production.
Installation
The Python example offers various installation options, but we highly recommend using Docker for this purpose.
Using Docker
To run the example using Docker, you will need Docker Desktop 4.17.0 or Docker Engine 20.10.23 with Docker Compose 2.15.1. Additionally, you might want to consider installing GNU Make 4.4.1, although it is optional. These are the minimum versions required for the tools.
Once you have everything installed, download the release archive and unarchive it.
$ curl --output Python.Example.zip --location https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/document-server-integration/releases/latest/download/Python.Example.zip
$ unzip Python.Example.zip
Then open the example directory and up containers.
$ cd "Python Example"
$ make compose-prod
By default, the server starts at localhost:80.
To configure the example, you can edit the environment variables in compose-base.yml. See below for more information about environment variables.
On Local Machine
Before diving into the example, you will need to install ONLYOFFICE Document Server (also known as Docs). Check the detailed guide to learn how to install it on Windows, Linux, or Docker.
To run the example on your local machine, you will need Python 3.11.4 with pip 23.1.2. Additionally, you might want to consider installing GNU Make 4.4.1, although it is optional. These are the minimum versions required for the tools.
Once you have everything installed, download the release archive and unarchive it.
$ curl --output Python.Example.zip --location https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/document-server-integration/releases/latest/download/Python.Example.zip
$ unzip Python.Example.zip
Then open the example directory, install dependencies, and start the server.
$ cd "Python Example"
$ make prod
$ make server-prod
By default, the server starts at 0.0.0.0:8000.
To configure the example, you can pass the environment variables before the command that starts the server. See below for more information about environment variables.
Post Installation
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.
Configuration
The example is configured by changing environment variables.

DOCUMENT_SERVER_PRIVATE_URL |
The URL through which the server will communicate with Document Server. | http://proxy:8080 |
DOCUMENT_SERVER_PUBLIC_URL |
The URL through which a user will communicate with Document Server. | http://localhost:8080 |
EXAMPLE_URL |
The URL through which Document Server will communicate with the server. | http://proxy |
JWT_SECRET |
JWT authorization secret. Leave blank to disable authorization. | your-256-bit-secret |
Security Info
Please keep in mind the following security aspects when you are using test examples:
- There is no protection of the storage from unauthorized access since there is no need for authorization.
- There are no checks against parameter substitution in links, since the parameters are generated by the code according to the pre-arranged scripts.
- There are no data checks in requests of saving the file after editing, since each test example is intended for requests only from ONLYOFFICE Document Server.
- There are no prohibitions on using test examples from other sites, since they are intended to interact with ONLYOFFICE Document Server from another domain.
