Seedbox version 2 is here! 🔥

Since there are some breaking changes and a configuration structure migration, a major version was mandatory.

What's new?

  • Configuration change to new YAML format
    • Run config-updater.sh to migrate your old services.conf to the new config.yaml format.
    • ⚠️ jq (v1.5+) and yq (v4+) are now requirements
    • Easier feature switches
    • If a service is missing, it won't be enabled by default like before. The config is now more declarative.
    • Traefik routing rules are now dynamically generated in a file in Traefik config directory, so no more Docker labels. They became hard to maintain due to all possibilities caused by VPN support or custom files for example.
    • New config syntax documented in the Configuration Guide.
  • VPN support
    • With gluetun service, you can now place any service behind a VPN.
    • Default gluetun configuration is Wireguard "custom" mode, but see below...
    • More details in the VPN section of the Configuration Guide.
  • Support custom services and docker-compose yaml files
    • Place a docker-compose yaml file in services/custom/ directory, add a service in your config.yaml specifying a customFile, and you are set.
    • Support Plex hardware transcoding using a custom-file, already available in the services directory (just specify a customFile on plex service - see config.sample.yaml).
    • More details in the Configuration Guide.
  • Support arbitrary Traefik rules
    • Place a Traefik YAML in samples/custom-traefik/ directory, it will be copied in the Traefik configuration folder.
    • Ideal to forward traffic to other services which do not belong to this seedbox.
    • More details in this section of the Configuration Guide
  • Disable certificates for some domains
    • Using the flag httpOnly: true on a service, access any service in unsecure mode, delegating certificates management on a higher level (reverse proxy, firewall...). More details in the Configuration Guide.
  • Multiple hosts for any services
    • The new config structure allows for more customization, for example you can now have many routes on the same service. Let's say, a local unsecured route + a secured one for remote access. Or anything you want.
  • More customization
    • Such as http authentication which is no more hardcoded but configurable for each service.
    • Configurable paths on host for persistent data
  • New services
  • ⚠️ Docker compose v2.2+ is now required

And also:

  • update-all.sh is now called run-seedbox.sh but its purpose is the same.
  • More checks in run-seedbox.sh. For example, throws an error if Flood is enabled but not Deluge, or if VPN is enabled on a service but the VPN client is not.
  • You can now specify where your data lives on your host through new environments variables (see .env.sample).
    • This change is backward-compatible as the run-seedbox.sh script will default to the old "/data/torrents" and "/data/config" paths if these variables are not set.
  • networks: section is now aligned with the new docker compose syntax
  • ⚠️ Nextcloud-db has moved. It is now in /data/config (or somewhere else if you set the new variables for host paths) (see below how to mitigate the errors). See the dedicated section below.
  • Disable Traefik access logs
  • New flag --debug for run-seedbox.sh to see what is happening during configuration parsing.
  • Releases are named after LOST mythology. I exhausted all the characters of Person of Interest, so that's time for a change. Only geeks will get it, I know.

Some reading about configuration

📖 Do not forget to read the Configuration Guide.

How to migrate

./config-updater.sh
# Check the content of your .env file (in comparison with .env.sample which brings new variables)
# Also, check your generated config.yaml and read the config documentation (in doc/configuration.md)
./run-seedbox.sh

When everything runs smoothly, you can delete your old configuration file which is now useless:

rm -f services.conf

⚠️ Also, please make sure you have read the next section about Nextcloud Database location.

Nextcloud-db has moved

Since commit e4ede92, nextcloud-db directory (mapped on /var/lib/mysql) has moved from
/data/nextcloud-db to $HOST_CONFIG_PATH/nextcloud-db (/data/config/nextcloud-db by default).

To ensure a smooth transition, you will have to move the directory nextcloud-db into the correct new location, then run some commands to fix the schema:

mv /data/nextcloud-db/ /data/config/
./run-seedbox.sh
source .env
docker exec -it nextcloud-db mysql_upgrade -u root -p${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
docker restart nextcloud nextcloud-db

Ensure everything runs nicely by looking at nextcloud-db and nextcloud logs, and by accessing your Nextcloud web UI.
