Linux sync connected to server but can't access files

Sync Client
1

Hello,

It looks like my problem is quite simmilar to post 2161and post 4429 (sadly can not link them here, sync-client>linux)

I am using the linux cells-sync (0.9.4),
my pydio cells (4.4.9) is hosted via docker and accessed via a cloudflare tunnel (8050 |-> 443 on example.url).

What works:

  • Android Sync client
  • Windows Sync client
  • Linux sync client: Connecting to server (login)

What is broken:

My docker setup:

services:
  pydio:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/pydio-cells
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - SERVER_IP=https://example.url  # Same as externalurl to fix linux sync client connect
      - EXTERNALURL=https://example.url:443
      - FILE__MYVAR=./.env
   # - CELLS_GRPC_EXTERNAL=8080
   # - CELLS_SITE_NO_TLS=1
    networks:
      - default
      - cloudflare
      - pydio-internal
    ports:
      - "8050:8080"  # https frontend
      - "8051:33060" # gRpc
    links:
      - "db"
    depends_on:
      - "db"
    volumes: # https://forum.pydio.com/t/cannot-add-storages-in-pydio-cells/4000
      - <sensitive_information_removed>

db:
  ...

networks:
  pydio-internal:
    internal: true

  cloudflare:
    external: true  # Cloudflare proxy

Server logs display error (don’t know if that is related):

My first time here, hope I described everything ok’ish.
I added the images as google drive links as I can not (yet) post images.

Greetings, L.

Hi, me again.

So I really tried to get this to work today and stumbled across post 5943
This is working for me after I had regenerated my local certificat.

I also specified a way to host pydio as http, you would need to add a second entry in cloudflare using http2 on your grpc port for pydio sync. Though using tls works for me so I would recommend using that.

Cloudflare (see above post):

  • Enabled gRPC:
    • Dashboard/Domain/Network/gRPC |-> On
  • Enable HTTP2,NoTLSVerify:
    • Dashboard/Zero Trust/Networks/Tunnels/Configure/Public Hostname/Edit/Create/Additional app settings/TLS |-> On (required type: https)

Local/Docker:

  • Allow port (tcp) via firewall
  • Docker:
  • Add --protocol http2 to cloudflare
    • using docker compose: cloudflare-tunnel-service > command: tunnel run --protocol http2 ...

My working compose file:

services:
  cloudflare-tunnel:
    container_name: cloudflare-tunnel
    image: cloudflare/cloudflared:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    command: tunnel run --protocol http2
