Seafile-CE

Seafile CE 13.0 stack — deployed via Portainer CE

Prerequisites

Secret files

Create on the host before first deploy:

mkdir -p /share/docker_secrets/seafile-ce
openssl rand -hex 32 > /share/docker_secrets/seafile-ce/db_root_password.txt
chmod 600 /share/docker_secrets/seafile-ce/db_root_password.txt   

NPM proxy host

Create in NPM:

Domain: cloud.necc.me Forward to: http://seafile:80 Custom location:

location /seafhttp {
    rewrite ^/seafhttp(.*)$ $1 break;
    proxy_pass http://seafile:8082;
    client_max_body_size 0;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_connect_timeout 36000s;
    proxy_read_timeout 36000s;
    proxy_send_timeout 36000s;
    send_timeout 36000s;
    proxy_request_buffering off;
}   

Deploy (Portainer CE 2.45)

Stacks → Add Stack Name: seafile-ce Repository URL: https://git.necc.me/necc/seafile-ce Branch: main Environment file: stack.env -> copy it's contents and use your own settings! Deploy the stack

Post-deploy: seahub_settings.py

The repo contains conf/seahub_settings.py with OAuth (authentik) and FILE_SERVER_ROOT / SERVICE_URL settings.

After the container has started at least once (so the /shared/seafile/conf/ directory exists on the host), append the contents of seahub_settings.py. Restart seafile-server.

Verify

curl -k https://cloud.necc.me/seafhttp/protocol-version

Expected: {"version": 2}

curl -k https://cloud.necc.me/api2/auth-token/

Expected: {"error": "...", "error_msg": "..."} (any JSON response = Seahub is up)

Optional:

After deploying, seafile-server no longer requires the root password for the database, you are safe to remove it from your env file.

Update:

There seems to be a bug in image: seafileltd/seafile-mc:13.0-latest, this is an attempt to fix it, temporarily. Example nginx.conf added. Symptom: nginx: [emerg] open() "/etc/nginx/off" failed (13: Permission denied) Check for value error_log off; in:

docker exec seafile-server cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Line	Before	After
error_log	error_log off;	error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
Default server	(no server_name)	server_name _;
