Hello all
Got an error when starting for the first time a server using docker.
It seems it can’t run the script to setup the db I have no idea why

seafile            | [2024-02-01 00:29:35] Now running setup-seafile-mysql.py in auto mode.

I dug into the code and I figure it out, in /scripts/bootstrap.py line 149, the mysql_port environement variable should NOT be cast to an int

it should be like that

    env = {
        'SERVER_NAME': 'seafile',
        'SERVER_IP': get_conf('SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME', 'seafile.example.com'),
        'MYSQL_USER': 'seafile',
        'MYSQL_USER_PASSWD': str(uuid.uuid4()),
        'MYSQL_USER_HOST': '%.%.%.%',
        'MYSQL_HOST': get_conf('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'MYSQL_PORT': get_conf('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        # Default MariaDB root user has empty password and can only connect from localhost.
        'MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD': get_conf('DB_ROOT_PASSWD', ''),
    }

Dunno why nobody reported it before ? it’s odd

Thank you! You just saved me a lot of hassle. I’m new to Seafile and wanted to just try it out but couldn’t seem to get past the same error you were having. For now I just went back to 11.0.4 and it seems to work on a first glance. Hopefully someone sees your post and is able to implement the fix soon.

Thanks for your feedback, we have updated the seafileltd/seafile-mc:latest image.
You can install Seafile by docker pull seafileltd/seafile-mc:latest and then execute docker compose up
