# WOPI (Office Document Editing)
OxiCloud integrates with **Collabora Online** and **OnlyOffice** via the WOPI protocol, letting users edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations directly in the browser.
## How It Works
1. User opens a document (`.docx` , `.xlsx` , `.pptx` , `.odt` , etc.)
2. OxiCloud generates a WOPI access token and redirects to the editor
3. The editor fetches the file from OxiCloud via WOPI endpoints
4. Edits are saved back via `PutFile`

## Host / Client Flow
OxiCloud acts as the **WOPI host** and Collabora or OnlyOffice acts as the **WOPI client** .
1. OxiCloud loads the discovery document from the configured WOPI client
2. The frontend opens a host page that embeds the editor in an iframe
3. The iframe URL includes `WOPISrc` , which points back to OxiCloud's `/wopi/files/*` endpoints
4. The editor calls back into OxiCloud with the WOPI access token to read, lock, and save the file

## Configuration
```bash
OXICLOUD_WOPI_ENABLED = true
OXICLOUD_WOPI_DISCOVERY_URL = "http://collabora:9980/hosting/discovery"
```
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `OXICLOUD_WOPI_ENABLED` | `false` | Enable WOPI integration |
| `OXICLOUD_WOPI_DISCOVERY_URL` | — | Editor's WOPI discovery URL |
2026-04-26 13:16:04 +08:00
| `OXICLOUD_WOPI_BASE_URL` | `OXICLOUD_BASE_URL` | URL the editor uses to call OxiCloud's `/wopi/*` endpoints |
| `OXICLOUD_WOPI_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | `OXICLOUD_WOPI_BASE_URL` | URL the browser uses to open the host page and the `postMessage` origin |
2026-04-11 20:58:34 +02:00
| `OXICLOUD_WOPI_SECRET` | (JWT secret) | Token signing key |
| `OXICLOUD_WOPI_TOKEN_TTL_SECS` | `86400` | Access token lifetime |
| `OXICLOUD_WOPI_LOCK_TTL_SECS` | `1800` | Lock expiration |
2026-04-26 13:16:04 +08:00
If Collabora or OnlyOffice runs on a separate hostname, `OXICLOUD_WOPI_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` should still point to OxiCloud's public URL, not the office URL. Use `OXICLOUD_WOPI_BASE_URL` only when the editor reaches OxiCloud through a different callback URL (for example an internal Docker or cluster address).

## Docker Compose with Collabora
```yaml
services :
collabora :
image : collabora/code:latest
environment :
- domain=oxicloud\\.example\\.com
- extra_params=--o:ssl.enable=false
ports :
- "9980:9980"
cap_add :
- MKNOD
oxicloud :
environment :
OXICLOUD_WOPI_ENABLED : "true"
OXICLOUD_WOPI_DISCOVERY_URL : "http://collabora:9980/hosting/discovery"
```
## Docker Compose with OnlyOffice
```yaml
services :
onlyoffice :
image : onlyoffice/documentserver:latest
environment :
- JWT_ENABLED=false
ports :
- "8443:443"
oxicloud :
environment :
OXICLOUD_WOPI_ENABLED : "true"
OXICLOUD_WOPI_DISCOVERY_URL : "http://onlyoffice/hosting/discovery"
2026-04-26 13:16:04 +08:00
OXICLOUD_WOPI_PUBLIC_BASE_URL : "https://cloud.example.com"
# Optional when OnlyOffice reaches OxiCloud through a different internal URL.
# Otherwise OxiCloud falls back to OXICLOUD_WOPI_PUBLIC_BASE_URL / OXICLOUD_BASE_URL.
OXICLOUD_WOPI_BASE_URL : "http://oxicloud:8086"
2026-04-11 20:58:34 +02:00
```
2026-04-26 13:16:04 +08:00
In that example:
- the browser loads OxiCloud from `https://cloud.example.com` , so `OXICLOUD_WOPI_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` must use that public OxiCloud URL
- OnlyOffice calls OxiCloud from the Docker network, so `OXICLOUD_WOPI_BASE_URL` can use `http://oxicloud:8086`
- if both the browser and the editor use the same OxiCloud URL, you can omit both variables and rely on `OXICLOUD_BASE_URL`

## WOPI Endpoints
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| GET | `/wopi/files/{id}` | CheckFileInfo — file metadata |
| GET | `/wopi/files/{id}/contents` | GetFile — download file content |
| POST | `/wopi/files/{id}/contents` | PutFile — save edited content |
2026-04-22 07:50:41 +02:00
| POST | `/wopi/files/{id}` | Lock / Unlock / RefreshLock / Rename / Delete / Save As |
### Common `X-WOPI-Override` operations
| Override | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `LOCK` | Acquire or refresh an editor lock |
| `UNLOCK` | Release a lock |
| `REFRESH_LOCK` | Extend the current lock |
| `PUT_RELATIVE` | Save as a related file |
| `RENAME_FILE` | Rename from inside the editor |
| `DELETE` | Delete from the editor when supported |
## Notes
- `CheckFileInfo` is required for every WOPI action
- `PutFile` uploads the full file content back to OxiCloud
- lock conflicts return `409 Conflict` with the current lock value
- OxiCloud uses query parameter `?access_token=` authentication for WOPI callbacks instead of the standard JWT middleware
