This documentation will talk about how to deploy Seafile Web using Apache/Nginx at Non-root directory of the website(e.g., www.example.com/seafile/). Please note that the file server path will still be e.g. www.example.com/seafhttp (rather than www.example.com/seafile/seafhttp) because this path is hardcoded in the clients.
Note: We assume you have read Deploy Seafile with nginx or Deploy Seafile with apache.
First, we need to overwrite some variables in seahub_settings.py:
SERVE_STATIC = False
MEDIA_URL = '/seafmedia/'
COMPRESS_URL = MEDIA_URL
STATIC_URL = MEDIA_URL + 'assets/'
SITE_ROOT = '/seafile/'
LOGIN_URL = '/seafile/accounts/login/' # NOTE: since version 5.0.4
The webserver will serve static files (js, css, etc), so we just disable SERVE_STATIC
.
MEDIA_URL
can be anything you like, just make sure a trailing slash is appended at the end.
We deploy Seafile at /seafile/
directory instead of root directory, so we set SITE_ROOT
to /seafile/
.
You need to modify the value of SERVICE_URL
in ccnet.conf
to let Seafile know the domain you choose.
SERVICE_URL = http://www.myseafile.com/seafile
Note: If you later change the domain assigned to seahub, you also need to change the value of SERVICE_URL
.
You need to add a line in seahub_settings.py
to set the value of FILE_SERVER_ROOT
FILE_SERVER_ROOT = 'http://www.myseafile.com/seafhttp'
Note: The file server path MUST be /seafhttp
because this path is hardcoded in the clients.
Then, we need to configure the Nginx:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
location /seafile {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_read_timeout 1200s;
# used for view/edit office file via Office Online Server
client_max_body_size 0;
access_log /var/log/nginx/seahub.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/seahub.error.log;
}
location /seafhttp {
rewrite ^/seafhttp(.*)$ $1 break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082;
client_max_body_size 0;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_connect_timeout 36000s;
proxy_read_timeout 36000s;
}
location /seafmedia {
rewrite ^/seafmedia(.*)$ /media$1 break;
root /home/user/haiwen/seafile-server-latest/seahub;
}
}
Here is the sample configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
Alias /seafmedia /home/user/haiwen/seafile-server-latest/seahub/media
<Location /seafmedia>
ProxyPass !
Require all granted
</Location>
RewriteEngine On
#
# seafile fileserver
#
ProxyPass /seafhttp http://127.0.0.1:8082
ProxyPassReverse /seafhttp http://127.0.0.1:8082
RewriteRule ^/seafhttp - [QSA,L]
#
# seahub
#
SetEnvIf Request_URI . proxy-fcgi-pathinfo=unescape
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /seafile fcgi://127.0.0.1:8000/seafile
</VirtualHost>
We use Alias to let Apache serve static files, please change the second argument to your path.
By default, Seahub caches some data like the link to the avatar icon in /tmp/seahub_cache/
(unless memcache is used). We suggest to clear the cache after seafile has been stopped:
rm -rf /tmp/seahub_cache/
For memcache users, please purge the cache there instead by restarting your memcached server.
./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start
