I just updated to the latest docker images 7/12/2019.

So I’m confused as everything in conf points to the host: db
nothing is using 127.0.0.1 that I can find in a configuration file and the database is up and running.

I can find a reference to 127.0.0.1 in bootstrap.py
…
loginfo(‘Now running setup-seafile-mysql.py in auto mode.’)
env = {
‘SERVER_NAME’: ‘seafile’,
‘SERVER_IP’: get_conf(‘SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME’, ‘’),
‘MYSQL_USER’: ‘seafile’,
‘MYSQL_USER_PASSWD’: str(uuid.uuid4()),
‘MYSQL_USER_HOST’: ‘%.%.%.%’,
‘MYSQL_HOST’: get_conf(‘DB_HOST’,‘127.0.0.1’),
# Default MariaDB root user has empty password and can only connect from localhost.
‘MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD’: get_conf(‘DB_ROOT_PASSWD’, ‘’),
}

But I do not see this getting called in the logs, so that does not seem to explain it, either. Just to make sure I changed it and restarted the docker container, without any change to the errors or any accessible UI.

Hello,
I have the same issue …

I just registered here to say I have the same problem too. The thread is 1 year old, any hints on how to solve the problem?

I just wanted to start using seafile so this is not a migration or old version problem.

in docker-compose.yml you need to change DB_HOST=db to DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 if you run it in your local or your host ip
