Specify7 in Docker keeps on failing on port 8080

OK, so the actual setting to be used is SEPARATE_WEB_ATTACHMENT_FOLDERS setting this to “True” in the docker.compose.yml does indeed yield the desired result. :blush:

asset notes
Ok, the latest image specifyconsortium/specify-asset-service:connection_fix should work now.
I spun up a server with the following config and got it working assets-docker.specifycloud.org/web_asset_store.xml

docker-compose.yml → 

version: '3.7'
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports:
      - "80:80"

    volumes:
      - "./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro"

  asset-server:
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: specifyconsortium/specify-asset-service:connection_fix
    init: true
    volumes:
      # Store all attachments outside the container, in a separate volume
      # - "attachments:/home/specify/attachments"
      - "/home/ubuntu/attachments:/home/specify/attachments"
    environment:
      # Replace this with the URL at which asset server would be publicly available
      SERVER_NAME: assets-docker.specifycloud.org
      SERVER_PORT: 8080
      # SERVER: paste
      ATTACHMENT_KEY: qwertyasdfghzxcvbnlmnop
      DEBUG_MODE: false
      COLLECTION_DIRS: >
        {
          'sp7demofish':'sp7demofish',
          'KUFishvoucher':'KUFishvoucher',
          'KUFishtissue':'KUFishtissue'
        }
      BASE_DIR: /home/ubuntu/attachments

volumes:
  attachments: # the asset-servers attachment files

nginx.conf → 

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name assets-docker.specifycloud.org;
    client_max_body_size 0;

    location /.well-known/ {
        root /var/www/assets-docker/;
    }

    location = /web_asset_store.xml {
        proxy_pass http://asset-server:8080/web_asset_store.xml;
        sub_filter 'http://assets-docker.specifycloud.org:8080' 'http://assets-docker.specifycloud.org';
        sub_filter_once off;
        sub_filter_types text/xml;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://asset-server:8080/;
    }
}

Then to get the asset server working with https and connected with Specify7, I created certrificates with certbot, and then used the follow config

certbot bash commands → 

# Make sure the nginx server is running
sudo mkdir /var/www;
sudo mkdir /var/www/assets-docker;
sudo certbot --webroot -w /var/www/assets-docker -d assets-docker.specifycloud.org certonly;

docker-compose.yml →

  nginx:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"

    volumes:
      - "./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro"

  asset-server:
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: specifyconsortium/specify-asset-service:connection_fix
    init: true
    volumes:
      # Store all attachments outside the container, in a separate volume
      # - "attachments:/home/specify/attachments"
      - "/home/ubuntu/attachments:/home/specify/attachments"

      # Replace this with the URL at which asset server would be publicly available

        {

        }

Make sure to set - ASSET_SERVER_URL=https://assets-docker.specifycloud.org/web_asset_store.xml in your specify7 and specify7-worker docker containers

Let me know if the new image and config works for you!
