dtable-events Background node¶

There are two types of tasks performed by dtable-events, local tasks and background tasks.

On the basis of the previous manual, you can also move dtable-events background tasks to a dedicated node.

In the following manual, we will show the steps to setup the dtable-events background node. The dtable-events background node need to run dtable-events background tasks, seaf-server and dtable-storage-server.

Setup dtable-events background node¶

Copy and modify docker-compose.yml¶

The default directory for SeaTable is /opt/seatable. Create the directory:

mkdir /opt/seatable

Copy the docker-compose.yml file on the dtable-web server and modify docker-compose.yml.

vim /opt/seatable/docker-compose.yml

services:
  seatable:
    image: seatable/seatable-enterprise:latest
    container_name: seatable
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"  # If https is enabled, cancel the comment.
    volumes:
      - /opt/seatable/shared:/shared  # Requested, specifies the path to Seafile data persistent store.
    environment:
      - SEATABLE_SERVER_HOSTNAME=dtable-events.example.com # Specifies your host name if https is enabled
      - SEATABLE_SERVER_LETSENCRYPT=True
      - TIME_ZONE=Asia/Shanghai # Optional, default is UTC. Should be uncomment and set to your local time zone.
    networks:
      - dtable-net

networks:
  dtable-net:

Copy and modify configuration file¶

Prepare configuration file directory

mkdir -p /opt/seatable/shared/seatable/conf

Copy the configuration file on the dtable-web server to the conf directory.

There is no need to Modify the Nginx configuration file.

Modify the dtable-events configuration file : /Your SeaTable data volume/seatable/conf/dtable-events.conf

[DATABASE]
type = mysql
host = mysql host
port = 3306
username = mysql user
password = password
db_name = dtable_db

[REDIS]
host = dtable-web server‘s IP
port = 6379

Create configuration file : /Your SeaTable data volume/seatable/conf/seatable-controller.conf

ENABLE_SEAFILE_SERVER=true
ENABLE_DTABLE_WEB=false
ENABLE_DTABLE_SERVER=false
ENABLE_DTABLE_DB=false
ENABLE_DTABLE_STORAGE_SERVER=true
ENABLE_DTABLE_EVENTS=true
DTABLE_EVENTS_TASK_MODE=background

Start dtable-events background node¶

docker compose up -d

docker exec -it seatable bash

seatable.sh

When you see following in the output log, it means success:

dtable-events in background mode
Skip dtable-web
Skip dtable-server
Skip dtable-db

SeaTable started

Modify configuration in dtable-web nodes¶

In the dtable-web nodes, DTABLE_EVENTS_TASK_MODE need to be changed to foreground mode.

Modify the configuration file /Your SeaTable data volume/seatable/conf/seatable-controller.conf as following:

ENABLE_SEAFILE_SERVER=true
ENABLE_DTABLE_WEB=true
ENABLE_DTABLE_SERVER=false
ENABLE_DTABLE_DB=false
ENABLE_DTABLE_STORAGE_SERVER=true
ENABLE_DTABLE_EVENTS=true
DTABLE_EVENTS_TASK_MODE=foreground

Restart dtable-web nodes¶

docker exec -it seatable bash

seatable.sh

When you see following in the output log, it means success:

dtable-events in foreground mode
Skip dtable-server
Skip dtable-db

SeaTable started
