"gcc" was the missing piece. Thanks.

It looks like I mis-diagnosed the source of the problem. I thought it was the loading of the settings module, but it is actually tied to the installation of the packages needed for LDAP. Starting a container with: -e MAYAN_APT_INSTALLS="libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libssl-dev" -e MAYAN_PIP_INSTALLS="py...

How about those of us loading a custom settings module with Docker (e.g., MAYAN_SETTINGS_MODULE=mayan_settings.settings_ldap)? Something is now broken. Is there a new way to import the base settings?

I too am working on a large enterprise deployment of Mayan to replace an antiquated ApplicationXtender setup. We're hitting a volume of data where we may be interested in paying for your professional services to bring Mayan up to scale. How can we get in touch to discuss? Thanks.

We're using Mayan to store large quantities of PDFs and need to upload batches of them at a time (~50 to 150 PDFs is not uncommon). Mayan is pretty good at importing the files using the web upload interface, but occasionally some of the files in a batch will error out. Errors get triggered for vario...

When viewing indexes, Mayan includes three pieces of information: the title of the tree level, the number of levels, and the number of documents. Screen Shot 2019-04-05 at 2.52.42 PM.png To my mind, the levels metric is completely irrelevant because it includes every branch down the tree, not just t...

It's actually incredibly simple, but the lack of documentation complicates things. Here's what you need. First, create your settings file (ldap_settings.py or whatever). Your simple configuration file should be sufficient for testing. Second, save it to the correct location for your deployment (dire...

Once you confirm that your local settings file is being loaded on startup, and that you have installed the correct packages, you should be be able to follow the django-auth-ldap documentation to fill in the correct settings for your AD setup. The example configuration (https://django-auth-ldap.readt...

Why do Mailchimp and other companies have it out for Mayan and its team members?

I can confirm that this has been a common problem at least since 3.1.3. Reloading the page usually fixes it, but it's common enough that I expect to have a handful of previews missing any time I load a list of documents.
