Seahub errors (7.1.5) - Python?

Seafile Server
1

I have recently updated from 6.3.4 to 7.1.5 (CE). It was sucessfull! I could start everything.

While checking the setup I found out it was no start on bootup. So we have manually been running it after a reboot.

sudo .../seafile-server-latest/seafile.sh start
sudo .../seafile-server-latest/seahub.sh start

When I added systemd service’s for autostart (https://download.seafile.com/published/seafile-manual/deploy/start_seafile_at_system_bootup.md) I changed the user and group to seafile.
Then I changed the seafile folders to be owned by user seafile and group seafile.

Added myself to the seafile-group and recursively changed permissions to 775.

sudo systemctl start seafile.service # Starts
sudo systemctl start seahub.service # Starts

seahub.log below. I have some thoughts about the python upgrade. Have followed:
https://download.seafile.com/published/seafile-manual/upgrade/upgrade_notes_for_7.1.x.md
It was working when starting with sudo, and directory owned by root:root.

Please advice me how to find out a solution!

It looks like your seafile user cannot access the module captcha (from django-simple-captcha). How did you install it?

Thanks!
I think the problem is my knowledge in Python, and pip here. How can I verify the installation? I have not installed Python or pip using the seafile-user
I feel a bit lost here! :frowning:

You can list packages with pip3 list (or pip list, depending on whether pip defaults to Python 2 or 3). If you install python packages as user, they will by default be installed only for that user. (Also, using sudo pip is definitely not recommended - one reason being a potential security problem, another that you might break your python dependencies when mixing packages installed through the distro’s package manager (system-wide) and pip (system-wide)) Hence, you need to install the required packages as seafile user.

Another question: Why did you add yourself (assuming that’s not the seafile user) to the seafile group? You’re starting seafile as seafile user, “you” don’t need access to the files.

Thanks,
It was the same as my suspicion, you helped me in the right direction!
I might have tried the sudo pip3 install --timeout=3600 Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap during all my tries.

I dis sudo su seafile
Then pip3:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pip3", line 7, in <module>
    from pip._internal.cli.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal'

No I solved it by:
sudo apt remove python-pip
sudo python3 -m pip install -U pip==19.0.2
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip

Then as the seafile user I was able to run pip3 followed by:
pip3 install --timeout=3600 Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap

That did the trick.

If the pip installation are a mess, I can’t tell… Maybe I have some unclear things here. :frowning: But I have a auto-started Seafile not run by root! :+1:

Regarding the question:

Another question: Why did you add yourself (assuming that’s not the seafile user) to the seafile group? You’re starting seafile as seafile user, “you” don’t need access to the files.

It’s simply because I wanted to access the config and logs with my account. Even when upgrading Seafile I guess it would be simpler. But I don’t know if there are better ways? Please let me know!

Great that you got it working!
