SeaClone - backup utility for Seafile

- Title: SeaClone - backup utility for Seafile
- Main Page: n/a
- Git: https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-seaclone
- Licence: MIT
- Dockerfile: Yes - packaged already
- Demo: n/a
- Summary: SeaClone auto-maintains a clone of Seafile libraries and contents, locally in the app or on external remote volumes, e.g. Hetzner Storage Box.
I've been a long-term user of Seafile and it rocks as file sync utility between devices, and a host for "cold" file archives (not needing to be on working device, but needing to be accessible).
Only concern is that Seafile uses a system of file blocks and masked names - so if Seafile installation becomes corrupted, it is not easy to restore from a disk volume.
- Notes: SeaClone gives me confidence that files "stuck" in Seafile will be available natively.
- Alternative to / Libhunt link: e.g. n/a
- Screenshots:
Seafile has been packaged as a custom app.
SeaClone will be added to Custom App Installer, or you can install manually.

This is one of the main reasons I can't move to it. I liked ResourceSpace since it is php, but it does the same thing. I'm still relying on the older free version of Filerun - you set the directories, arranged however you have them want them, and Filerun just catalogues them where they are.

@scooke ah, but now you can overcome this concern !
Seafile works really well, and SeaClone will make a native backup for emergencies.
SeaClone will not only work with a Seafile deployment on Cloudron, it will do any Seafile deployment anywhere, just point it at the URL.
