Error when starting seafile-mc 7.1.3

laskinforest · April 20, 2020, 6:21pm

Hello,
I am currently getting the following error when I start the seafile-mc (version 7.1.3) docker container:

I´ve lived with this error since the upgrade from 6 to version 7. The cause is that the letsencrypt certificate is not getting renewed automatically. Therefore i strongly believe that there is an error in the “stack” thats responsible for the renewing/autorestarting.

and the docker settings are set accordingly for letsenrypt:

DB_HOST	db
DB_ROOT_PASSWD	password
TZ	Europe/Vienna
SEAFILE_SERVER_LETSENCRYPT	true
SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME	domainnameexternal
SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAIL	xxx@gmail.com
SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD	xxxx
VIRTUAL_HOST	domainnameexternal
LETSENCRYPT_HOST	domainnameexternal
LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL	xxx@gmail.com
PATH	/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
DEBIAN_FRONTEND	teletype
LANG	en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE	en_US:en
LC_ALL	en_US.UTF-8
SEAFILE_VERSION	7.1.3
SEAFILE_SERVER	seafile-pro-server

I had to revert to 7.0.13

Would be great if that could be fixed!

thanks in advance!!

I get the same error after updating docker to 7.1.3 in the case of https with letsencrypt. If I disable https, then seafile works fine.

fastguy · April 27, 2020, 10:46am

Same for me. Is there a temporary solution? Maybe to have certificates manually generated or updating the docker-compose.yml file?

satheras · May 10, 2020, 5:36am

Is there already a solution? I guess that needs to be fixed within the next versions!

satheras · June 7, 2020, 6:19pm

is there a solution?

satheras · June 20, 2020, 9:32am

Did you find a solution? has this been fixed with one of the newer releases?

fastguy · June 20, 2020, 5:01pm

Hi, yes I got mine working, but I dont 100% remember how.

I think the key was to make sure your hostname was resolved on any internet DNS and pointed to your server IP. So for example, if your server name is seafile.satheras.com any DNS shall resolve this hostname and the IP shall point to your server.

When that happens, Letsencrypt central servers are able to verify your server by testing connection to it and then the script succeeds to issue you a certificate.

Try that and let us know.

satheras · June 21, 2020, 6:17am

Hi again,

Thanks for your fast response! I checked on that with severals dns worldwide checker tools. Everything regarding your hint was already a given. That means it can be resolved. Also port 80 and 443 are working as they should - especially for letsencrypt. So i gave the seafile-latest a try again and got the same error pattern again.

By stepping back to the old seafile-pro-mc:7.0.13 seafile docker release it works as a workaround. Only with the step up to the newest version those errors are showing up and preventing from booting up seafile. Therefore i am clueless again

fastguy · June 21, 2020, 9:34am

Hmm, can you try to run with
docker-compose up
without -d and see the logs on the screen to understand where it fails?

I have same issu with bytes-like object is required, not ‘str’

Could you please check my logs. I have no any ideas
