This Dockerfile and patches compile a version of OnlyOffice Docs server with mobile editing enabled in the Nextcloud apps for an unlimited amount of concurrent users.

It can be integrated into e.g. Nextcloud or ownCloud like the official images.

Just about two months after Nextcloud released their partnership with Ascensio and featured a community version of OnlyOffice, the latter decided to remove support for mobile editing of documents. This affected the Nextcloud app, killing a feature that was previously marketed by both companies.

The changes were executed without any prior notice and alienated quite a lot of home users, who would now be forced to pay more than €1.000 to unlock that previously free feature. Only after some outcries Ascensio deigned to release a statement and a new, albeit "limited", offer of €90 for home servers. This offer has since expired and their licensing tier suggests current licenses are valid for one year, starting at about €140.

In my opinion these deceptive practices of advertising a feature only to take it away are unacceptable for a company presenting itself and their products as open source.

Please refer the the official docs on how to integrate OnlyOffice into your setup.

To verify that the container is running successfully open [server-url]/healthcheck (has to return true) and for the version number open [server-url]/index.html and check the output of that page or [server-url]/web-apps/apps/api/documents/api.js and check the header comment.
