This project is about creating a set of Docker containers to run a Seafile service.
Note: only seems to be working on a Linux host at the moment. If you are a Mac user and get it to work, please do tell me.
Unfortunately, this breaks every now and then with a new Seafile release, because of the really unfortunate and fragile way Seafile needs to be installed. I will fix it whenever I realize that is the case, but it might
The setup consists of a data-only container, which encapsulates all volumes for all containers in order to make the configuration of the related data storage easier.
- MariaDB as backend database
- nginx as web-server frontend
- install script creates self-signed certificates if not present
- preconfigured to only allow https
- preconfigured webdav
- configurable cron-job for garbage collection
- configurable cron-job for backup
- option to use either the community version, or the professional one (although the latter only has basic support at the moment)
For this quickstart to work, you need to have Docker, v 1.4+ and Docker compose, v 1.1+ installed. Also, you need to add the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost.home
to the file /etc/hosts. Use localhost.home as the hostname when asked, and answer the rest of the questions according to the config section here.
