Updating the Docker Version of ONLYOFFICE Docs
Step 1: Shut Down ONLYOFFICE Docs
sudo docker exec {{DOCUMENT_SERVER_ID}} documentserver-prepare4shutdown.sh
In this script, {{DOCUMENT_SERVER_ID}} stands for the current ONLYOFFICE Docs container name or ID. To find it, use the following Docker command:
sudo docker ps -a
Step 2: Ensure All Container Volumes are Mounted
sudo docker inspect --format='{{range $p,$conf:=.HostConfig.Binds}}{{$conf}};{{end}}' {{DOCUMENT_SERVER_ID}}
Step 3: Stop the Current ONLYOFFICE Docs Docker Container
sudo docker stop {{DOCUMENT_SERVER_ID}}
Step 4: Download the Latest ONLYOFFICE Docs Image
docker pull onlyoffice/documentserver:latest
Step 5: Run the New Image with the Same Map Paths
sudo docker run -i -t -d -p 80:80 --restart=always \
-v /host_folder:/volume \
-v /host_folder:/volume onlyoffice/documentserver
Run the new image with the folder paths mapped exactly as they were for the previous version. Specify the -v option arguments by replacing the
/host_folder:/volume values with the actual paths.
If the previous version of ONLYOFFICE Docs was configured with a different port or HTTPS, adjust the necessary parameters by following
these instructions.
Once completed, run ONLYOFFICE Docs and verify its functionality.
Optional Step: Remove the Old ONLYOFFICE Docs Container and Image
After ensuring the updated version operates correctly, you can remove the old ONLYOFFICE Docs container:
sudo docker rm {{OLD_DOCUMENT_SERVER_CONTAINER_ID}}
{{OLD_DOCUMENT_SERVER_CONTAINER_ID}} represents the previous ONLYOFFICE Docs container name or ID.
To remove the old ONLYOFFICE Docs image, list all Docker images first:
sudo docker images -a
Identify the unnecessary image ID from the list and remove it:
sudo docker rmi {{OLD_DOCUMENT_SERVER_IMAGE_ID}}
That’s it! You can now enjoy all the newly added features and collaborate on your documents more efficiently.
