This is a first connection issue.

When I try to create first account:

I briefly see server backdrop, then page becomes blank.

  • Browser has page open, logged in to my Pydio account
  • Tried with Firefox, Brave, Edge.

Hello, this is generally due to a server Site misconfiguration (TLS Certificate or site External URL).
Do you have a reverse proxy ? (if so make sure to set the External URL).
What TLS config do you use ?
Try opening the localhost:3636 URL in the browser window with the Developer Console open to see if there are any errors displayed

Thank you for the pointers.

I do not have a reverse proxy, unless Pydio Cells is using Caddy as one?

Just to be sure, I have reset the configuration with cells configure sites:

cells configure sites
Warning: no private IP detected for binding broker. Will bind to 157.90.53.130, which may give public access to the broker.

But Cells server is available at https://cells.mmc.re:8080

1 - [8080 instead of 443] Did you Restart after updating the Site ? if you run cells configure sites again, were your modification properly saved?
2 - Once 1 is ok, try to set the External URL (even if no proxy) to https://cells.mmc.re (and restart)

Thank you for your help!

  1. Yes, I did, twice. Also, I checked again with cells configure sites, the modification was saved.

  2. Now I have added the URL, even if not proxied:


********************************************************
   Config has been updated, please restart Cells now.
********************************************************
The following sites are currently defined:
+---+--------------------------+--------------+----------------------+
| # |         BIND(S)          |     TLS      |     EXTERNAL URL     |
+---+--------------------------+--------------+----------------------+
| 0 | https://cells.mmc.re:443 | Lets Encrypt | https://cells.mmc.re |
+---+--------------------------+--------------+----------------------+
✔ Quit
root@safe:/ # service cells restart
Stopping cells.
Waiting for PIDS: 12444, 12444.

Still, I can reach Cells via https://cells.mmc.re:8080 but not with https://cells.mmc.re

How can I troubleshot that?

I could not fix my problem, in the meanwhile I will just use ftp. Please feel free to close this issue on your side.
