Seafile - cloud storage platform

Bushido

With 49 upvotes, this seems to be a killer feature in Cloudron. What is the current status of efforts in this regard?

Making progress on packaging Seafile for Cloudron

timconsidine

I have a first version of Seafile Community Edition packaged for Cloudron !

Took longer than I expected, but I previously didn't believe it even to be possible.

All seems working, including the web UI and desktop sync clients.

Only issue I have found is that my Safari does not display PDFs when loaded in the browser from the Seafile library. Firefox does work (Chrome untested).
other file formats do work in the browser

More testing needed, but looks good currently.

I will add this to the Custom App Installer shortly.

PRO edition needs some thought.
Due to Seafile licensing, I cannot package it.
There is an upgrade route from Community to PRO.
Need to test it out against this package.
Will try this out later.

EDIT : also need think about using volumes and about backups to extract files into native names, not Seafile's tracked/masked naming.

Seems that the Wiki feature in Seafile is not working
Fixing ….

EDIT : Fixed wiki.
Versions in previous post updated
But note :

Community vs. Professional Edition :

You are running Seafile Community Edition (indicated by the seafile-mc base image and lack of Pro binaries).

Full-Text Search (searching inside files and wiki pages) is a feature exclusive to Seafile Professional Edition . It relies on an integrated ElasticSearch engine which is not included in the Community Edition.

The Community Edition only supports searching for filenames , not the content within documents.

@timconsidine sounds like it's time to integrate Meilisearch instead of the bulky elastic search.

@robi I will investigate
