Notification server configuration questions

Seafile Server
1

Hello,
I have 2 questions about upgrading to server 10.x (community edition) regarding notification server

-Do you have recommendations/sample config for apache web server config changes for notification server?
-What is jwt_private_key ? Do you have a sample of how this should be generated ??? Or some kind of guidance on what this is ?

Thank you,
Joel

Please check this document: Notification Server - Seafile Admin Manual

Document shows only ngix config. How would this look for Apache?

Hi Daniel,
I’m looking for configuration guidance for apache web server, not nginx. The documentation only has nginx. Do you have a sample for apache??

Also - do you have any guidance on how to make a jwt_private_key value ?? (what command was used to calcuate the one in the example?)

Thank you,
Joel

You can generate jwt_private_key with the following command：

openssl rand -base64 32

Ref: Seafile Admin Manual > Notification Server

You can use this configuration for Apache:

    ProxyPass /notification/ping  http://127.0.0.1:8083/ping/
    ProxyPassReverse /notification/ping  http://127.0.0.1:8083/ping/
    ProxyPass /notification  ws://127.0.0.1:8083/
    ProxyPassReverse /notification ws://127.0.0.1:8083/

“May I know if the notification server configuration will be included in the one-click installation script in the future?”

It will be included in the future.

Thank you! I missed that.

This config broke /notification/list/

As workaround I added a ProxyPass for /notification/list:

ProxyPass /notification/ping  http://127.0.0.1:8083/ping/
ProxyPassReverse /notification/ping  http://127.0.0.1:8083/ping/

ProxyPass /notification/list  http://127.0.0.1:8000/notification/list
ProxyPassReverse /notification/list  http://127.0.0.1:8000/notification/list

ProxyPass /notification  ws://127.0.0.1:8083/
ProxyPassReverse /notification ws://127.0.0.1:8083/

If you’re using SSL (which is recommended for security), ensure that your SSL configuration is up to date and compatible with the latest standards. If your Apache server is acting as a reverse proxy for the Notification Server, make sure the proxy configuration is correctly set up to forward requests to the Notification Server.
