Pydio cells docker-compose example does not work

The statement “CELLS_BIND and CELLS_EXTERNAL can only use different ports” is contradictory to the docker-compose example which shows these using the SAME port. If there is a reverse proxy involved, that is a completely separate service (run on a different container or machine) so any port exposed for that service would by definition require a different external port if it is run on the same docker host as pydio/cells because one cannot bind 2 services to the same docker host port.

I will ask the devs about what does this exactly mean and will change it according to that.

The statement “CELLS_BIND and CELLS_EXTERNAL can only use different ports” is contradictory to the docker-compose example which shows these using the SAME port.

The example is showing a simple case,
let’s say that you docker run -d -p 8080:8080 pydio/cells on your machine, then you will only be able to access to it through https://localhost:8080 on the same machine that has the container running ( because of the external ) if you wanted to have access from another machine (for my example i will talk about local network) the best practice would be to have CELLS_EXTERNAL = the machine that has the container running) ip + port, then you can access it from outside your own machine (right now i’m only talking on a local scale) but you can apply the same process with a server.

@alpha23

Finally, localhost from the container is NOT the same as the localhost of the docker host

I never said it was the same, it will only work in the case that you are launching and accessing the container on the same machine ( but what would be the point of this, that was just an example ), sorry if was not clear but the host is the ip of the server/machine running the container.

Regarding SSO, the technology also exists any website implementation and does not require Google, Facebook, etc.

I was just saying what method we also have, i also would have liked if my forum & site account were the same but i can understand your pain.

@alpha23

Please provide clarify to the above because at this point I’m playing “the guessing game” trying to figure out what Pydio meant by the documentation and comments.

I myself did not really pay attention to this sentence about the ports, i mean i have a container running with exposed port 8080 then i would put the same port on both or alteast on CELLS_BIND.

What is the case that requires you to have 2 different ports, (That’s why i asked if you are going to use Reverse proxy, but it could also be that you exposed a different port on your container)
