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 that recreated OnlyOffice Debian package internal build system.

If you don’t have the technical expertise to build OnlyOffice yourself you can download our built packages from OnlyOffice v6.3.1.37-btactic release .

(Warning: This packages is not an official OnlyOffice build. If you find problems with it do not seek help on OnlyOffice official forums/trackers. In any case do it if you have manage to reproduce them in the original source code or OnlyOffice original binary packages.)
Build steps
Base system
Ubuntu 14.04 minimal was used (Any distro that supports Dockers should be enough though.)
System setup
sudo -i # Enter user password apt-get update apt install -y git docker.io ln -sf /usr/bin/docker.io /usr/local/bin/docker sed -i '$acomplete -F _docker docker' /etc/bash_completion.d/docker service docker status # docker.io start/running, process 14394
Get special tag
git clone \ --depth=1 \ --recursive \ --branch v6.3.1.37-btactic \ https://github.com/btactic/build_tools.git \ /build_tools cd /build_tools mkdir out docker build --tag onlyoffice-document-editors-builder . docker run -v $(pwd)/out:/build_tools/out onlyoffice-document-editors-builder /bin/bash -c 'cd tools/linux && python3 ./automate.py --branch=tags/v6.3.1.37-btactic'
Package build
onlyoffice-documentserver_6.3.0-111~btactic1_amd64.deb package should be found at: /build_tools/out/package/ directory.
It’s ok that the tag is v6.3.1.37-btactic and then as the package name we have 6.3.0-111~btactic1 .
Usage
Just use standard documentation on how to install official Ubuntu packages such as: https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/installation/docs-community-install-ubuntu.aspx
However do not add OnlyOffice package repository and when you are asked to install onlyoffice-documentserver package you should do instead::
sudo apt-get install /path/to/onlyoffice-documentserver_6.3.0-111~btactic1_amd64.deb
