Download
Download the latest server package.
- check if your system is x86 (32bit) or x86_64 (64 bit)
uname -m
- download for 32bit
wget http://seafile.googlecode.com/files/seafile-server_{version}_i386.tar.gz
- or for 64bit
wget http://seafile.googlecode.com/files/seafile-server_{version}_x86-64.tar.gz
Deploying and Directory Layout
NOTE: If you place the Seafile data directory in external storage, such as NFS, CIFS mount, you should not use SQLite as the database, but use MySQL instead. Please follow this manual to setup Seafile server.
Supposed your organization's name is "haiwen", and you've downloaded seafile-server_1.4.0_* into your home directory. We suggest you to layout your deployment as follows :
mkdir haiwen mv seafile-server_* haiwen cd haiwen
- after moving seafile-server_* to this directory
tar -xzf seafile-server_* mkdir installed mv seafile-server_* installed
Now you should have the following directory layout
- tree haiwen -L 2
haiwen ├── installed │ └── seafile-server_1.4.0_x86-64.tar.gz └── seafile-server-1.4.0
├── reset-admin.sh ├── runtime ├── seafile ├── seafile.sh ├── seahub ├── seahub.sh ├── setup-seafile.sh └── upgrade
The benefit of this layout is that
We can place all the config files for Seafile server inside "haiwen" directory, making it easier to manage. When you upgrade to a new version of Seafile, you can simply untar the latest package into "haiwen" directory. In this way you can reuse the existing config files in "haiwen" directory and don't need to configure again.
Setting Up Seafile Server Prerequisites
The Seafile server package requires the following packages have been installed in your system
python 2.6 or 2.7 python-setuptools python-simplejson python-imaging sqlite3
- on Debian
apt-get update apt-get install python2.7 python-setuptools python-simplejson python-imaging sqlite3
Setup
cd seafile-server-* ./setup-seafile.sh #run the setup script & answer prompted questions
If some of the prerequisites are not installed, the seafile initialization script will ask you to install them.
The script will guide you through the settings of various configuration options. Seafile configuration options Option Description Note server name Name of this seafile server 3-15 characters, only English letters, digits and underscore ('_') are allowed server ip or domain The IP address or domain name used by this server Seafile client program will access the server with this address ccnet server port The TCP port used by ccnet, the underlying networking service of Seafile Default is 10001. If it's been used by other service, you can set it to another port. seafile data dir Seafile stores your data in this directory. By default it'll be placed in the current directory. The size of this directory will increase as you put more and more data into Seafile. Please select a disk partition with enough free space. seafile server port The TCP port used by Seafile to transfer data Default is 12001. If it's been used by other service, you can set it to another port. httpsever port The TCP port used by Seafile httpserver Default is 8082. If it's been used by other service, you can set it to another port. seahub admin email Admin account for seafile website seahub admin password Password for website admin
If the setup is successful, you'll see the following output
Now you should have the following directory layout :
- tree haiwen -L 2
haiwen ├── ccnet # configuration files │ ├── ccnet.conf │ ├── mykey.peer │ ├── PeerMgr │ └── seafile.ini ├── installed │ └── seafile-server_1.4.0_x86-64.tar.gz ├── seafile-data │ └── seafile.conf ├── seafile-server-1.4.0 # active version │ ├── reset-admin.sh │ ├── runtime │ ├── seafile │ ├── seafile.sh │ ├── seahub │ ├── seahub.sh │ ├── setup-seafile.sh │ └── upgrade ├── seahub-data │ └── avatars ├── seahub.db ├── seahub_settings.py # optional config file └── seahub_settings.pyc
Running Seafile Server Before Running
Since Seafile uses persistent connection between client and server, if you have a large number of clients , you should increase Linux file descriptors by ulimit before start seafile, like:
ulimit -n 30000
Starting Seafile Server and Seahub Website
Under seafile-server-1.4.0 directory, run the following commands
Start seafile:
./seafile.sh start # Start seafile service
Start seahub
./seahub.sh start <port> # Start seahub website, port defaults to 8000
After starting the services, you may open a web browser and types
you will be redirected to the Login page. Enter the username and password you were provided during the Seafile setup. You will then be returned to the `Myhome` page where you can create libraries.
Congratulations! Now you have successfully setup your private Seafile server. Run Seahub on another port
If you want to run seahub in a port other than the default 8000, say 8001, you must:
stop the seafile server
./seahub.sh stop ./seafile.sh stop
modify the value of SERVICE_URL in the file haiwen/ccnet/ccnet.conf, like this: (assume your ip or domain is 192.168.1.100)
SERVICE_URL = http://192.168.1.100:8001
restart seafile server
./seafile.sh start ./seahub.sh start 8001
see Seafile server configuration options for more details about ccnet.conf. Stopping and Restarting Seafile and Seahub Stopping
./seahub.sh stop # stop seahub website ./seafile.sh stop # stop seafile processes
Restarting
./seafile.sh restart ./seahub.sh restart
When the Scripts Fail
Most of the time, seafile.sh and seahub.sh work fine. But if they fail, you may
Use pgrep command to check if seafile/seahub processes are still running
pgrep -f seafile-controller # check seafile processes pgrep -f "manage.py run_gunicorn" # check seahub process
Use pkill to kill the processes
pkill -f seafile-controller pkill -f "manage.py run_gunicorn"
That's it!
That's it! Now you may want read more about seafile.
