Markdown editor not working

Seafile Server
, , ,
1

I run the docker-seafile with the tag “latest” on an Odroid N2 (ARM64) with Ubuntu Linux. While the editor for text files is working in seahub, the WYSIWYG editor for markdown files does not work.

  • If I click on a markdown file in the list view, a new tab opens with an endless loading symbol (yellow circles pulsating)
  • If I click on a markdown file in the columnar view, an “Error” notification is displayed, but no further information
    grafik

Inside the seafile container, /shared/seafile/logs/seahub.log doesn’t show any related events as far as I can tell:

How can I get the markdown editor to work? I worked through similar threats in this forum, but without solution…

You need to add the .md file extension to the admin settings.

Admin settings>Settings>Online Preview/text file extentions. Add .md and click the green arrow in the box to the right of that same field. And you should be good to go. I’ve had to add that on every single instance of Seafile I’ve tested with. CE and Pro.

Thank you @Father_Redbeard! I tried, but this was not the solution. It turned out that the ports were not correctly configured at my seafile instance. When I corrected this, the md editor opened. Thus, a configuration error.

This isn’t the fix - I’ve got same problem on a new install on Debian 12 (or 13) and Seafile v11. If you add this entry, you can indeed edit md files but as pure text files. What should happen is that the Seafile markdown editor should appear:

Which ports specifically? I’ve got the same problem on a new install of v11
