Download failed for onlyoffice in mattermost

Problem:

After installing onlyoffice (docker) and onlyoffice-plugin in mattermost. It shows Download failed when open files in mattermost.

Reason:

JWT_HEADER must be set to a value that is not Authorization, as stated here:

• JWT Header: If JWT protection is enabled, it is necessary to specify a custom header name since the Mattermost security policy blocks external ‘Authorization’ Headers. This header should be specified in the ONLYOFFICE Docs signature settings as well (further information can be found here).

Reference: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-mattermost?tab=readme-ov-file#plugin-settings

Solution:

1. Modify docker-compose.yml for onlyoffice and add environment JWT_HEADER
