Empty Page after install

[bytegetter]

Hi,

I want to move from lxc-containers to docker. I´m new to docker.

I´ve tryed to run seafile as described in docker, but I only receive an empty page.

What do I need to fix this?

Hi,

first of all we'll need some logs to see what's going on.

Check if the containers are even running with docker ps -a.

Then get some logs:

docker logs seafile_seafile-server_1
docker logs seafile_seahub_1

[bytegetter]

Ok, this seems to be the reason:

root@docker-1:~/seafile# docker logs seafile-seafile-server-1 
Waiting for SeaRPC socket...
waiting for mysql server to be ready: %s (1045, "Access denied for user 'root'@'172.20.0.6' (using password: YES)")

Do I need to initialize the database?

[ggogel]

The database is initialized automatically. Therefore the root password is needed, which was set incorrectly. The environment variable DB_ROOT_PASSWD of seafile-server must match the environment variable MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD of the MariaDB container.

[bytegetter]

I left the Password unmodified:

root@docker-1:~/seafile# cat docker-compose.yml | grep ROOT
      - DB_ROOT_PASSWD=db_dev
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=db_dev

Currently I use some minor changes in the docker-compose-file:

root@docker-1:~/seafile# diff docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yml.original 
11,12c11,12
<       - HTTPS=false
<       - SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME=seafile.xxxxxx.de # Mandatory on first deployment!
---
>       - HTTPS=true
>       - SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME=seafile.mydomain.com # Mandatory on first deployment!
27,28c27,28
<       - SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAIL=seafile@xxxxx.de
<       - SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=xxxxxxx
---
>       - SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAIL=me@example.com
>       - SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=asecret

I think the passwords match.

[ggogel]

Try to run docker-compose down then delete all volumes and deploy it again. You might have deployed the database before the change of the root password. The password is then set and can't be changed through the environment variable anymore.

[bytegetter]

I´ve already made this without change.

Any idea?

[ggogel]

Not really. When I look up the error message, I only find the same suggestion that I made already about the existing volume. Are you sure you deleted the volume?

Run docker-compose down, then docker volume ls to see what volumes exist. Then delete the db volume with docker volume rm volumename.

I can't reproduce the issue at all.

After locating the images and deleting and removing them it works now for me. ;)
