Docker-compose with apache reverse proxy within the stack in Non-root domain setting

Seafile Server
1

Worth sharing, as I have invested a considerable amount of time in having style sheets working as supposed to.

seafile/docker-compose.yml (no volumes, just insert some to enforce persistence and no ssl for simplicity):

version: '2'
     services:
         seafile:
             image: seafileltd/seafile:6.3.4
             restart: always
             ports:
                 - 8080:80
             environment:
                 SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME: myseafile.com
                 SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAIL: admin
                 SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD: changeme
         proxy:
              image: jmferrer/apache2-reverse-proxy
              restart: always
              ports:
                - 80:80

start your stack (check indentation of the above :smile: )
Add “myseafile.com” into /etc/hosts of the hosting machine or set up your dns

In seafile_seafile_1 container:

vi /shared/seafile/conf/seahub_settings.py and add:

SERVE_STATIC = False
MEDIA_URL = ‘/datashare/media/’
COMPRESS_URL = MEDIA_URL
STATIC_URL = MEDIA_URL + ‘assets/’
SITE_ROOT = ‘/datashare/’
LOGIN_URL = ‘/datashare/accounts/login/’
FILE_SERVER_ROOT = ‘http://myseafile.com/seafhttp’

vi /shared/seafile/conf/ccnet.conf and edit the line into:

SERVICE_URL = http://myseafile.com/datashare

apache configuration file for the seafile_proxy_1 container to be placed in sites-available:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName myseafile.com
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    <Location />
       ProxyPass http://seafile/
       ProxyPassReverse http://seafile/
    </Location>
   <Location /datashare/media>
       ProxyPass http://seafile/media
       ProxyPassReverse http://seafile/media
   </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Do not forget to a2ensite your apache conf file within seafile_proxy_1 container.
Access http://myseafile.com/datashare and everything should be up and running.

Hi

Thanks for sharing this. I am trying to serve Seafile (using docker-compose) under a subpath instead of from the actual domain as in https://mydomain.com/fileserver (instead of https://fileserver.domain.com) Is this possible with your config?

Thanks
