To install Enterprise Edition, follow the instructions here.

Community Edition vs Enterprise Edition comparison can be found here.

Installing Strapi ONLYOFFICE integration plugin

1. You need to change the Strapi middlewares file: strapi/config/middlewares.js.

   To allow inserting a frame with the editor and loading api.js, replace the strapi::security line in this file with the following:

   1{
   2  name: "strapi::security",
   3  config: {
   4    contentSecurityPolicy: {
   5      useDefaults: true,
   6      directives: {
   7        "script-src": ["'self'", "https:", "http:"],
   8        "frame-src": ["'self'", "https:", "http:"],
   9      },
   10    },
   11  },
   12},

   If such a config already exists, you just need to add directives.

2. Install the plugin in your Strapi project:

   1npm install onlyoffice-strapi --save

3. After successful installation you have to rebuild the admin UI so it'll include this plugin. To rebuild and restart Strapi run:

   1# using yarn
   2yarn build
   3yarn develop
   4
   5# using npm
   6npm run build
   7npm run develop
