Introduction
Onlyoffice is an online Office suite based on Web. It lets you to edit Microsoft Office documents such as docx, pptx, xlsx and other Open Document files such as odt, ods and odp.
In our Zimbra and Nextcloud SaaS service we offer Onlyoffice integration in order to view and edit documents. This article shows technically how to build OnlyOffice from the source code.
In addition to build OnlyOffice it will be modified to increase the default 20 simultaneous connections maximum limit to 99999 connections. It’s similar to an OnlyOffice without any limits. This is possible thanks to OnlyOffice AGPL license that let us to modify it.
This build has been possible thanks to bTactic I+D department.

Thanks for this. Would be great to have (updated) .deb packages published in the Github repo for those, like me, who have almost zero technical knowledge and in our case, a small NGO, licences prices are prohibitif.
Hello Peter, we offer a Nextcloud service with integrated Onlyoffice, in our infrastructure (Europe), but totally personalized for the client, who can manage and administer autonomously and totally independently, from 160 euros per year, with no limit of users (with 100 Gb capacity, expandable). If you are interested, I can give you more information.
We don’t use Nextcloud, but another product (Chamilo).
Hello. Will you be able to build a new version of the program (7.1.1)?
Hallo. Can you make a package (deb) for the new version Onlyoffice DS (7.1.1) ?
Until July we do not plan to update the packages.
