Hello, I followed the Docker upgrade instructions (Upgrade Seafile Docker - Seafile Admin Manual), but my database container is unable to start successfully.
Using the fresh .env and seafile-server.yml files, I changed only the fields the instructions mention and double-checked they’re consistent with my existing installation.
Whether it’s related to this issue or not, I also don’t understand how Caddy factors into version 12, or whether it’s even necessary if I’m using my own reverse proxy (which I am).
