Anyone able to setup thumbnail server?

Seafile Server Docker
1

According to this guide h-t-t-p-s://manual.seafile.com/13.0/extension/thumbnail-server/ we should be able to setup a separate thumbnail server but I’m struggling to make it working.

I’m not using the built-in caddy and my seafile docker is directly behind another reverse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager). As a result of following the above guide all my thumbnails failed to load. If I remove the thumbnail server and rely on seahub to generate thumbnails, it works like a charm.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks :smiley:

I use Traefik as my reverse proxy. I have removed all the caddy labels. My compose for the thumbnail server is;

  seafile-thumbnail-server:
    container_name: seafile-thumbnail-server
    image: seafileltd/thumbnail-server:13.0-latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      seafile-db:
        condition: service_healthy
    networks:
      - traefik-proxy
      - seafile
    volumes:
      - ${VOLUMES}/htpc10/seafile/seafile-data:/shared
    environment:
      # General
      TIME_ZONE: ${TZ}
      JWT_PRIVATE_KEY: ${SEAFILE_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY}
      SITE_ROOT: /
      INNER_SEAHUB_SERVICE_URL: http://seafile
      SEAF_SERVER_STORAGE_TYPE: disk
      # Database
      SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_HOST: seafile-db
      SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_PORT: 3306
      SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_USER: ${SEAFILE_DB_USER}
      SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD: ${SEAFILE_DB_PASS}
      SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_CCNET_DB_NAME: ccnet_db
      SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_SEAFILE_DB_NAME: seafile_db
    labels:
      traefik.enable: true
      traefik.http.services.seafile-thumbnail.loadbalancer.server.port: 80
      ## External
      traefik.http.routers.seafile-thumbnail.entrypoints: extsecure,websecure
      traefik.http.routers.seafile-thumbnail.rule: Host(`seafile.${DOMAINNAME}`) && PathPrefix(`/thumbnail`)
      traefik.http.routers.seafile-thumbnail.middlewares: chain-no-auth@file
      traefik.http.routers.seafile-thumbnail.service: seafile-thumbnail

I also have the following in seahub_settings.py;

ENABLE_VIDEO_THUMBNAIL = True

Have you forwarded /thumbnail requests to the thumbnail server via http protocol in your NPM config?

Thanks for your config! I will try that later. Glad at least someone got it working so I’m more confident :wink:

I think I did, but I’m not really good at NPM advanced config. By any chance you know how to configure this?

Thanks a billion for your help!

There is an example for proxying thumbnail server for Nginx:
