This stack uses Seafile's official multi-file compose setup. It cannot be deployed via Portainer's git-based stack deployment due to the COMPOSE_FILE variable combining multiple yml files.

Deployment method: Run from command line with docker compose up -d

Files

.env - All configuration variables
seafile-server.yml - Main Seafile + MariaDB + Redis
seadoc.yml - SeaDoc server
seasearch.yml - SeaSearch server

OnlyOffice JWT

The JWT secret must match between seahub_settings.py and OnlyOffice's /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/local.json. Check with:

docker exec onlyoffice cat /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver/local.json | grep -A2 '"secret"'

Troubleshooting

"Commit is missing" errors

The seafile data wasn't fully transferred. Re-rsync with proper permissions from source.

OnlyOffice "document security token" error

JWT secret mismatch. Update ONLYOFFICE_JWT_SECRET in seahub_settings.py to match OnlyOffice config.

Search returns 500 error

Check if SeaSearch is accessible: docker exec seafile curl -s http://seafile-seasearch:4080 Check database for missing .ibd files in mysql logs.
