Deploy Seahub at Non-root domain

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/).

Note: We assume you have read [[Deploy Seafile with nginx]] or [[Deploy Seafile with apache]].

Deploy with Nginx

First, we need to overwrite some variables in seahub_settings.py:

SERVE_STATIC = False
MEDIA_URL = '/seafmedia/'
SITE_ROOT = '/seafile/'

We will use Nginx to 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/.

Then, we need to configure the Nginx:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.example.com;
    location /seafile {
        fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:8000;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME     $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param   PATH_INFO           $fastcgi_script_name;

        fastcgi_param	SERVER_PROTOCOL	    $server_protocol;
        fastcgi_param   QUERY_STRING        $query_string;
        fastcgi_param   REQUEST_METHOD      $request_method;
        fastcgi_param   CONTENT_TYPE        $content_type;
        fastcgi_param   CONTENT_LENGTH      $content_length;
        fastcgi_param	SERVER_ADDR         $server_addr;
        fastcgi_param	SERVER_PORT         $server_port;
        fastcgi_param	SERVER_NAME         $server_name;
#       fastcgi_param   HTTPS               on; # enable this line only if https is used
        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;
    }

    location /seafmedia {
        rewrite ^/seafmedia(.*)$ /media$1 break;
        root /home/user/haiwen/seafile-server-latest/seahub;
    }
}

You need also to modify SERVICE_URL and FILE_SERVER_ROOT (see below).

Deploy with Apache

First, you need to modify seahub_settings.py as above.

Then edit httpd.conf file, add this line:

  FastCGIExternalServer /var/www/seahub.fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:8000

After that, you need to configure your Apache, here is the sample configuration:

  ServerName www.example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www
  Alias /seafmedia  /home/user/haiwen/seafile-server-2.0.2/seahub/media

  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
  #
  RewriteRule ^/(seafmedia.*)$ /$1 [QSA,L,PT]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^/(seafile.*)$ /seahub.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L,E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

We use Alias to let Apache serve static files, please change the second argument to your path.

Modify ccnet.conf and seahub_setting.py

Modify ccnet.conf

You need to modify the value of SERVICE_URL in /data/haiwen/ccnet/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.

Modify seahub_settings.py

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'

Clear the cache

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.

Start Seafile and Seahub

./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start-fastcgi
