Seafile - cloud storage platform

[timconsidine]

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.

[timconsidine]

@robi I will investigate

I started packaging Meilisearch

I started packaging Meilisearch

I have a basic app packaged, but it is a bit hard-coded on indexing, so need to make it more flexible for different deployment and configuration scenarios, before sharing it.

@timconsidine Wait, so you can just swap the built-in elisticsearch with meilisearch?! Wouldn't you have to change the code of the seafile package?

[timconsidine]

@luckym ah, very good question !

To answer it, first I had to package Meilisearch but veered off path (ooops) to produce SRTD as a test and a need general purpose utility.

Having done that, I now need to work out how to add Meilisearch into or onto or alongside Seafile-CE for Cloudron.

It's one of my current dev tasks, so bear with me.

I'm also testing the robustness of the Clouron Seafile-CE app. Seems all fine currently.

[luckym]

Gotcha. I could probably help test the robustness of Seafile-CE - is there a tutorial on how to install the custom app installer on my own Cloudron? I'm a bit hesitant to enter login information on the hosted site

[timconsidine]

@luckym totally understand
for that reason I made CCAI-P : Personal Edition
cloudron credentials are in the app - not entered anywhere -sits entirely on your server

there is the conundrum of how you get CCAI-P in the first place, but once you have it, no creds needed for future usage.

to get Seafile-CE for cloudron you can try :
cloudron install --image tcmbp132021/cloudron-seafile-ce:v1.0.1 and it will then prompt you for what app address you want to use.

but this presupposes you have Cloudron CLI installed - at least you don't need Docker installed

but I think you need the CloudronManifest.json also from the repo locally

to install CCAI-P manually, it's similar to:

• have cloudron CLI installed
• cloudron install --image tcmbp132021/cloudron-customapp-installer-personal:latest
• might need that repo's CloudronManifest.json locally
