Docker - upgrade from Seafile 11 to Seafile 12

Seafile Server
1

Anyone lucky enough to successfuly upgrade above version with Caddy? If yes, then please share your solution for switching from nginx reverse-proxy to caddy. I’ve been fighting with this for the passed two days. Logs are useless or no where to be found (caddy). Bad Gateway should be a new logo of seafile server.
Thanks

My answer isn’t exactly what you are asking for, and I hope someone can give you that answer too, but the solution I went for might work well enough for you.

I did almost the opposite of what you are asking. I removed the caddy container, removed the caddy config options from the config files, and added some extra ports to the configs so that I could continue to use my existing and already working nginx config with the new seafile.

My old nginx config was setup to forward to seafile with options like “proxy_pass http://192.168.69.12:8000;” and “proxy_pass http://192.168.69.12:8082;”. I didn’t want to change that since it was working, so I added to those ports to the seafile docker config:

    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
      - "8082:8082"

That way my nginx could talk to seafile the way it always had, instead of trying to go through another nginx inside the container.

Sounds sensible enough. Have you posted your configuration (yml) here yet? Could be a big help for a lot of folks moving forward. Many thanks.

I don’t think I have, even though I have posted a lot of parts. My entire setup is a bit complicated for various reasons (using single sign-on OAUTH setup, running in podman with nothing running as root, sharing the reverse proxy with some other programs, etc.). For a detailed description of why some things are as they are, you might be interested in this:

I am not able to ssh to my seafile server at the moment, so I am posting the configs from ansible (which I am learning to use). It is basically the same, except that some values are replaced with variables, which look like “{{ variable_name }}”. So don’t expect any line with a “{{ * }}” to work for you without changes.

My .env:

COMPOSE_FILE='seafile-server.yml,notification-server.yml'
ENABLE_SEADOC=false
COMPOSE_PATH_SEPARATOR=','
NON_ROOT=true

SEAFILE_IMAGE=seafileltd/seafile-mc:{{ seafile_docker_version }}
SEAFILE_VOLUME={{ seafile_volume_path }}

SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_HOST={{ ansible_host }}
INIT_SEAFILE_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD={{ mysql_root_password }}
SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_USER=seafile
SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD={{ seafile_db_password }}

TIME_ZONE=America/Denver
JWT_PRIVATE_KEY={{ jwt_private_key }}

SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME={{ public_address }}
SEAFILE_SERVER_PROTOCOL=https

NOTIFICATION_SERVER_IMAGE=seafileltd/notification-server:{{ seafile_docker_version }}
NOTIFICATION_SERVER_VOLUME={{ notification_volume_path }}

seafile-server.yml:

services:
  seafile:
    image: ${SEAFILE_IMAGE:-seafileltd/seafile-mc:{{ seafile_docker_version }}}
    container_name: seafile
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
      - "8082:8082"
    volumes:
      - ${SEAFILE_VOLUME:-/opt/seafile-data}:/shared
    environment:
      - DB_HOST=${SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_HOST:-db}
      - DB_PORT=${SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_PORT:-3306}
      - DB_ROOT_PASSWD=${INIT_SEAFILE_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD:-}
      - DB_PASSWORD=${SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD:?Variable is not set or empty}

      - SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_SEAHUB_DB_NAME=${SEAFILE_MYSQL_DB_SEAHUB_DB_NAME:-seahub_db}

    networks:
      - seafile-net

networks:

And notification-server.yml:

services:

  notification-server:
    image: ${NOTIFICATION_SERVER_IMAGE:-seafileltd/notification-server:{{ seafile_docker_version }}}
    container_name: notification-server
    restart: always

      - ${NOTIFICATION_SERVER_VOLUME:-/opt/notification-data}/logs:/shared/logs

    networks:

Thanks for your input. I have given up for now, but will come back to it once my life settles down a bit and I have some spare time to deal with this upgrade !@#$.
Cheers,
