[SOLVED] Pydio Sync Client not working with Pydio

[MonZon]

I've updated DietPi to the latest version today and found that it has some fixes for Pydio service. Tried Windows Sync app - still no go

[MichaIng]

Have to test here. Perhaps this is a network issue, non with the server.

[MonZon]

Hmm, but I'm in the same LAN, I can ping and use other services just fine.

[WarHawk]

What was the solve?

[MonZon]

No solution yet. MichaIng, any updates?

[MichaIng]

Okay played and tested around:
- The Pydio clients seem to need rewrite engine being enabled: Access to Pydio PHP pages via "domain.org/pydio/whatever" instead of "domain.org/pydio/index.php/whatever"
- Actually on Lighttpd URLs (in browser) by default already show up pretty without /index.php/, even without rewrite module enabled.
- However I recognized that reloading such an URL does NOT work, so the rewrite seems to be just done for server answers, but not for requests.
- I enabled mod_rewrite, but that alone does not change something.
- Check Pydio Lighttpd docs: https://pydio.com/en/docs/kb/system/ins ... a-lighttpd
- No rewrite statement shown, however on Fedora. Only for WebDAV access, which is a different thing, out of usual base URL rewrite.

I'm currently installing Nextcloud to verify that it is the same there, as I always thought nothing is required (besides rewrite module enabled).
... jep on Nextcloud even on output, no rewrite is done. We need to add pretty URLs for Lighttpd.

Ah lol, found open topic about this, totally forgot meanwhile: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1634

Testing for Pydio...

@MonZon
Okay I figured out how to enable sync client support on Lighttpd:

Code: Select all

lighttpd-enable-mod rewrite
sed -i '/^}$/d' /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-dietpi-pydio.conf
echo '
	# Rewrite to pretty URLs, which is required for sync clients
	url.rewrite-if-not-file = ( "^/pydio/([^.]+)/?$" => "/pydio/index.php/$1" )

}' >> /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-dietpi-pydio.conf
systemctl restart lighttpd
systemctl restart php7.0-fpm

Would be great if you could test, since with all the features you use, web UI file downloads and such .

[MonZon]

Thanks for the great news, but:

Code: Select all

root@MZCloud:~# sed -i '/^}$/d' /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-dietpi-pydio.conf
sed: can't read /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-dietpi-pydio.conf: No such file or directory

Ah jep sorry, forgot that we just added this with v6.18.

Okay then do the following:

Code: Select all

echo '$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/pydio($|/)" {
	# Deny access to pydio/data dir
	$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/pydio/data" {
		url.access-deny = ("")
	}

	# Rewrite to pretty URLs, which is required for sync clients
	url.rewrite-if-not-file = ( "^/pydio/([^.]+)/?$" => "/pydio/index.php/$1" )

	# Disable PHP output buffering, recommended by Pydio
	setenv.add-environment += (
		"PHP_ADMIN_VALUE" => "output_buffering=Off",
	)

}' > /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-dietpi-pydio.conf
lighttpd-enable-mod dietpi-pydio
systemctl restart lighttpd

This also resolves the warnings on pydio setup about output buffering and data dir access permissions. If you resolved this already somewhere else, you should remove one of the directives.

[MichaIng]

Whoopsie, wrong copy&paste, should be /pydio/ dir, not /nextcloud/ of course. Corrected it above.
