Bug and about porting Community Edition to OpenBSD/adJ

[vtamara]

Hi,

First let me thank you for the great work in OnlyOffice and the opportunities for open source developers and non for profits.

My name is Vladimir Támara, I'm from Colombia.

I'm user (non-for-profit) of Entreprise Edition in the OnlyOffice cloud (my portal is https://danzadoresdejesucristo.onlyoffice.com )
I'm recent helper in the translation of OnlyOffice to spanish.
I'm also open source software developer for non-for-profits including the distribution adJ of OpenBSD (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdJ)

Recently I found a bug in my portal (https://danzadoresdejesucristo.onlyoffice.com). When I work in OpenBSD/adJ I cannot go to folders neither edit documents, I attach a screenshot of the error reported in the chrome inspector (I guess is something in the API) --using OpenBSD 6.2 and chromium 61. This error doesn't happen when I use Ubuntu 16.04 and Chromium 62, and it didn't happen before in OpenBSD/Chromium (I guess in October this year it was working well from OpenBSD/Chromium).

By suggestion of Katarina Heidel (support staff in OnlyOffice) I'm joining this forum, because I would like to help to fix the bug described.

The idea I have to help is:
1. Port the Community Edition to OpenBSD/adJ (where I have some expertise) and send the patches to your github repositories.
2. Configure a local server (similar to my online portal kindly provided by OnlyOffice).
3. Try to debug and fix the bug and also send the patches to your github repositories.

Since I'm new in these things and I have very limited time, I would like to ask help of the OnlyOffice developers in this.

1. Is there any attempt to port the OnlyOffice sources to any *BSD ?
2. What would be a good route to port Community Edition to OpenBSD/adJ? First Document Server, after Community Server and after Mail Server?
3. Is this forum the best place to ask for help on this? Should I post the issue in the github repository?

Blessings.

Hello vtamara!
Unfortunately Onlyoffice doesn't support OpenBSD. I would advise to use OS which Onlyoffice supports. Maybe we can try to fix your issue.

Thank you for the answer.

I think that https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/79 has a lot in common with porting to OpenBSD/adJ. I also I opened an issue: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/221
I hope to find time to try to compile the most recent version of DocumentServer again and send pull request with simple and portable changes that will not break compilation in other platforms.
Personally for some highly secure information I only would recommend hosting encrypted on OpenBSD/adJ.

However it also would be great if you could be able to fix the issue I'm having right now with my portal https://danzadoresdejesucristo.onlyoffice.com because I'm not being able to use it in this moment. Please let me know how can I help.

Blessings
