Room based document collaboration platform with built in office editors, shared rooms, forms and real time co editing, secured on your own VM at first boot.
ONLYOFFICE DocSpace is an open source collaboration platform built around rooms: shared spaces where teams and external guests work on documents together under clear roles. Collaboration rooms are for co editing, public rooms publish content through links, form filling rooms collect responses, custom rooms combine the rules you need, and virtual data rooms add watermarks, file lifetime and download controls. Every room opens files in the ONLYOFFICE Docs editors, so word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, forms and PDF work happen in the browser with real time co editing, comments, track changes and version history. Users, guests and admins are managed from a people directory with invitation links, and the platform exposes a full REST API, an embeddable JavaScript SDK, plugins and webhooks for integrating it with other systems. It is the same platform ONLYOFFICE runs as a service, packaged to run entirely on a machine you control.
DocSpace is a stack of more than twenty services with a database, a cache, a message broker, a search engine and a separate document server, and its first run wizard is an anonymous page that hands the portal to whoever completes it first. The cloudimg image does the assembly and closes that door. Every backend sits on loopback behind one TLS front door, so only SSH, HTTP and HTTPS are reachable, and the wizard is locked behind a one time setup link that exists only in a root readable file on your VM until you have chosen the owner account, after which the gate opens itself and DocSpace's own sign in takes over. Every secret in the stack, the database password, the broker and cache passwords, the document server token secret, the signing key and the TLS certificate, is generated on your VM at first boot, so no two instances share a value and nothing usable is baked into the image. The document server integration is verified end to end on every build, the base is fully patched, a step by step deployment guide is paired with the image, and every image is backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
