Seafile Docker alongside with Apache 2 vHosts

Hey,

I’ve been running a Seafile PRO Docker instance for a long time. It used ports 80 and 443. So, fine. Now I want to host a website on the same server. I thought:

  1. Install Apache2
  2. Let it listen on port 80 for project.example.com
  3. Redirect all other requests to Seafile Docker Instance aka ProxyPass

  seafile:
    image: docker.seadrive.org/seafileltd/seafile-pro-mc:11.0-latest
    container_name: seafile
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
#      - "443:443"  # If https is enabled, cancel the comment.
    volumes:
      - /opt/dockers:/shared # Requested, specifies the path to Seafile data persistent store.
    environment:
      - DB_HOST=db
      - DB_ROOT_PASSWD=MyStrongDBPassword
      - TIME_ZONE=Europe/Berlin # Optional, default is UTC. Should be uncomment and set to your local time zone.
      - SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAILs= admin@example.com
      - SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=MyStrongPassword # Specifies Seafile admin password, default is 'asecret'
      - SEAFILE_SERVER_LETSENCRYPT=false
      - SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME=127.0.0.1
    depends_on:
      - db
      - memcached
#      - elasticsearch
    networks:
      - seafile-net

I changed the listening port from 80 to 8000.

Then I created a vhost conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin admin@example.com
  ServerName seafile.example.com
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
  # Stuff for seafile server
  ProxyPass /seafhttp http://127.0.0.1:8082
  ProxyPassReverse /seafhttp http://127.0.0.1:8082
  RewriteRule ^/seafhttp - [QSA,L]
  # Stuff for seahub
  SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/seafile_error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/seafile_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

My problem is:

  1. I can access “project.example.com”, but not the “seafile.example.com”. The docker instance starts well, there are no errors.
  2. Trying to access seahub UI over “externalIP:8000” redirects me to “project.example.com”

Any suggestion how I can config the vHost to access the Seafile Docker instance?

SOLVED: Don’t forget to remove “nginx” and “ssl” directories :upside_down_face: The docker uses own old nginx settings despite SEAFILE_SERVER_LETSENCRYPT=false
