First thing; If you have a newer version of LibreOffice then you already
have LibreOffice Online - the online version is the the desktop version.
What is different, the application would run headless and properly
configured work within a LAMP environment. There are some blog posts that
cover how to do that (I don't have links right off hand) but it would be
less then overwhelming if you just fired up a copy of LibreOffice from
within your LAMP server.

Second; the pieces that need to be added on to LibreOffie when running
behind your web server are delivered by marrying LO with a content
management system. NextCloud integration is a good example of this.
You can find information on that at the NextCloud webiste:
https://nextcloud.com/collaboraonline/ and you will notice that Collabora,
a vendor which is on the advisory board for TDF and which supplies much of
the engineering resources behind the effort, is who supplies the production
ready incantation of LibreOffice Online.

Third; if you want an easy way to test this, the Collabora folks offer
appliances (docker image for example) with both NextCloud and Collabora
Office ready to go. You can find information on that here:
https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/

Finally, If you are going to look at deploying within your organization
then I would highly recommend you look at a support contract from a
Document Foundation Certified vendor.

Best wishes,

Drew
